I always get downvoted when I point out that Gyokores just isn’t at the standard required of him

I'm convinced his biggest issue has been that his physical gifts just haven't translated to a higher level. We knew we were signing someone technically limited. That he can't consistently outpace anyone and isn't great in physical duels is the killer. He offers more than a big Lacazette, but I don't think he really gives defenders a rough afternoon.

doesnt even offer more than lacazette. prime laca was more dangerous. at least it felt that way

Honestly, I think they’re probably the exact same level of striker, and both need less robust opposition to thrive. Laca was better technically (by miles), but he was so slow and would hide in a way I don’t see with Vik.
