- Ground duels - 2/2 won
- Aerial duels - 5/5 won
The best centre-back on the planet. 🇧🇷
The craziest part is,
Alvarez had less league goals (8) than Gyökeres (14) last season.
Alvarez had the same goals in all comps for cluba md country than Gyökeres last season (Both 29). If you count the World Cup, Gyökeres has more.
Alvarez was more injured/less available then Gyökeres last season.
Alvarez had less league G+A (12) last season than Gyökeres (15).
Remember when Gyökeres went 6 league games without scoring and people were flaming him? Alvarez went on a FOURTEEN-GAME scoreless streak last season in La Liga.
In the three matches between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, Alvarez had less goals (1) than Gyökeres (3).
Yet, fans want us to give Gyökeres + pay Atletico money for him.
And this is while Alvarez plays in a two-man striker system in what most would consider a slightly weaker league. Gyökeres did this is a single-striker system... and we've seen how he's done in two-striker systems for Sweden.
Also, one player literally has us as his backup last resort (He has agreed personal terms with Barcelona already, but not with Arsenal. If Atletico had accepted Barca's offer, Alvarez would already be a Barcelona player. PSG know this and had the good sense to stop chasing a player who clearly doesn't value them as his first choice. That leaves only us), while the other did everything humanly possible to join us, then won us our first EPL trophy in 22 years.
Aren’t people concerned Alvarez got outplayed by Gyokeres 3 times last season ? 2 goals in last 22 league games .. is he really better than Havertz?.. 100mil..
Nigerian Arsenal fans in spiritual bondage with Viktor Gyokeres is really a discovery. You would’ve thought people that had seen Wright, Anelka, Bergkamp, Henry, RVP etc would know what elite looks like
Viktor Gyokeres has earned the right to be our front man for another season. Whether you like him or not surely you understand that? He played the whole season nervous because of all the noise surrounding his name. We’ve all seen how dangerous he is when he’s confident. Back him.
The funniest thing about this Gyokeres-Alvarez swap deal nonsense is that Gyokeres will outscore Alvarez in Arsenal’s lone striker system, he will also outscore him in Atletico’s two striker system.
