What player does he have an understanding with?
Would argue we made so many chances in spite of Gyokeres rather than because of him. Some of the arguments in his favor are starting to feel like gaslighting.
As noted by many others his workrate has also obviously dropped off, which for me was the most annoying part of his appearance. You have been dropped / lost your first team place, and this is how you react with the first chance you get? Fuck that. Hopefully we are able to ship him off Saudi side sooner than later if this is the sort of effort he’s going to be putting in off the ball, never mind his lack of involvement on it.
I read he had 9 touches. 9. In over 70 minutes of football, in a game we dominated and created shed load of chances, and had so much possession and play in the final third.
Unless he’s fatigued from last season plus the busy World Cup summer, this is simply unacceptable. Better off getting that Hull City striker instead.
