The way you guys talk about Gyokeres sometimes I just wonder how you watch football. Gyokeres a player who won the European golden boot. You guys live in the moment a lot
Arteta, hear me out!
This guy has almost everything you wish Gyokeres had
Control.
Hold up play.
Dribbling.
Speed.
Physicality.
Clinical finishing.
And he can play across the entire front line.
@Chukky_Alozie@SirLeoBDasilva But some of our fans thinks he isn't good enough despite this stat. Arteta who is the coach thinks otherwise too, he prefer a false 9 kind of striker instead of a point 9. I just think Arteta is just biased fr
@sidramatics We were unbeaten against "top six" teams 2 seasons in a roll and didn't win the league, last season we lost 3games against them and won the league, keep playing yourself
Lastly Arsenal sold 3 major attackers this summer, Jesus, Martinelli and Trossard so we needed replacements, other clubs knew that was one of the reason we wanted Alvarez badly considering the club sold these players without replacing them first
I had a conversation with a fellow Arsenal fan at church today, and I think that’s my closure on Gyökeres.
He made a very simple point. He said; When Arsenal were reportedly pushing hard to sign Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid, and Arteta eventually stopped playing Gyökeres for 90 minutes, why weren’t fans of other clubs saying, “We should go and sign Gyökeres”?
He continued. “If he was genuinely viewed as this elite striker that everyone was supposedly missing out on, you’d expect fans of other clubs to have been pushing for him too”.
I didn’t have that perspective before, but that conversation made me understand why his cult is always trying to convince us that he has qualities we can’t see. You don’t need to explain why an elite player is elite. Everyone should be able to see it, including rival fans.
Gyokeres Just signed for us last season, and he has numbers of years in his contract so other clubs won't come for him easily
Gyokeres benched for 90 mins repeatedly for just 2 games for me isn't enough reason for clubs to come for him
The way some supposed Arsenal fans slander our own players is even worse than rival fans. You post every misplaced pass and abuse them at every opportunity, forgetting that a player who has spent time on the bench needs games to regain confidence and get back to his best.
Some of you don’t really care about the club; you just want clicks and social media earnings. There’s nothing wrong with being a content creator, but stop pretending everything is about supporting Arsenal.
Fans can criticise players, but constantly looking for mistakes just to slander your own players isn’t support. Have some shame.
1). Slander the player before arriving
2). Upon arrival more slander because he’s not scoring
3). Starts scoring then call him injury prone upon injury
4). Comes back struggles to score again - more slander
5). More slander but starts picking up form and Arsenal take control of the league
6). Carries us in the UCL semi finals despite Kai Havertz dropping stinkers vs Bayern Munich
7). Arteta starts Havertz in the UCL final, the moment he’s fit
8). Plays 50 minutes in the UCL final
9). Makes his penalty but is still slandered for open play performance
10). Gets linked to Julian Alvarez swap every single day for 75 days of the transfer window
11). Gets slandered before the season starts
12). Arteta starts Kai Havertz in every important game
He was starting games and took us the farthest Arsenal have been in 2 decades.
Through all of it, still gets slandered daily on timeline. No one has been treated worse (not Pepe, not Martinelli, not Kai Havertz) than Gyokeres since arriving.
Probably better that he never came… but then again, Arsenal fans would still complain about a different player
