Sicario2 A lot better now that our £60m striker is starting to put in some performances.

He looked a lot better today, Spurs defending was shit but there have been plenty of times this season where opposition have been poor and Gyokeres hasn't take advantage. I said it months ago, he isn't going to be a game changer against top sides but he needs to be mowing through the lesser sides.

Like Eze today, cannot be a one off thing he has to push on now.

JazzG

Seen this on my timeline, he is a thicko most of the time but he called it 30 mins into the game. He has good instincts for CFs and CBs does Rio, rest of his knowledge is a bit....

Qwiss

JazzG it was obvious a half hour into the game that Gyok had the better of them. Neville was singing his praises too. Everyone who knows football could see how well he was doing.

Gunner89 Out all of those Ekitke still looks the most interesting to me. Think he has the potential to be as good as prime Isak within a few years and he will be entering his prime in 3/4 years. I think he was overpriced by £10m-£15m but if you watch him you can see there is a top player in the making there. Still needs a bit of work though, you can see there are parts of his game which need to develop.

You threw me with Benny Tesco, had to think as could not remember anyone with that name 😆

Isaks stats for the money are insane

Tells you everything about how fans should stay humble. Wishlisted for 4 seasons straight and then turns out to be the worst signing of the entire lot while being the most expensive.

Burnwinter

Gyökeres is looking like value for money while also not really being good enough as far as we're all concerned. Says a lot about the striker market.

banduan

It's a weird one trying to assess this guy. He's suffering from a bit of his reputation bringing him more attention from defenders than he should. He just does really poorly when constantly marked. Others should be capitalising on the space created by him sometimes being double-marked.

The moment he loses that rep though, defenders will let him show his ball striking ability. Then he gets his rep back and it's back to the grind.

Sicario2

banduan Disagree. This guy is a confidence player, just look at him in majority of 2026 v 2025 performances. Also, he looks more lean and fitter/powerful. He’s also a business end of the season striker so the next 3 and a bit months will be his time to shine.

Claudius

Been underwhelmed by this fellow, but yesterday was a complete striker's performance. He held the ball up well, always provided an outlet for Raya. Both of his goals were superbly taken, and that was a beautiful flick to set up Saka on the chance that rebounded for an Eze goal. Still many games to go this season, so glad he's finding form with 6 goals in last 6 games.

Claudius

Qwiss not just that he had a good game, but that he is able to last the full 90 minutes and keep pressing the whole game. I think we will see the same of Eze within the next month or so. and hopefully we can then ramp up Odegaard and Havertz as well. I'm feeling good about the next 3 months.

Qwiss

Claudius yeah I think there was a sharp physical jump for both of them joining Arsenal last year. Wonder if Norgaard is going through similar but its taking longer as he's older.

est

I love the fact that he knows the offside rule and holds his runs until the ball is played. Jesus would have 100% been offside for Gyök's second goal.

Gunner89

est

Jesus brainfarts are insane, that jump on gabriel

Doc

we just ignoring injuries and minutes played then.

Qwiss

Doc well his injury happened recently, at the start of the season he wasn't recovering from anything more than his own lack of professionalism.

Burnwinter

Isak's been injured because that's who he is. Sign him again in the same way and he'd probably score 25 because that's also who he is. It was an excessively high risk transfer from Liverpool for the money.

Doc

Qwiss I mean he has played a third or less of the minutes of the higher players, not saying those that didn't want him for his injuries are not justified but he is no where near the worst of that list.

Mirth

Doc in fairness, injuries with Isak is a feature not a bug. Of course I would have taken Isak at the start of the season but there's always a good chance of him missing 3-4 months at any given point.

daredevil

Doc

Availability is part of whether a player is better or worse than someone. If you can't get on the pitch - you are by default worse than someone who can.

Mirth

I'm just happy there's someone in our team that looks like he's building into some good form rather than hitting a wall and crashing.
