Viktor Gyokeres

It's just his playing style. Can't tell a horse to stop running.

I've said all along that he dominates the pressing game; people just need to be patient for a bit. You can tell that he overtrained in the gym when he didn't kick a ball for three months but he'll whip into shape soon. He presses defenders like a madman for 90 minutes.

Gazza M Told you ... it's that crazy sprint repeatability.

RocktheCasbah

Not sure if it's been mentioned in here, maybe last week?, but our boy has got a proper earworm of a chant.

Hope he doesn’t lose too much. Retain that power. He will have better stamina and agility though

Gazza M

lorddulaarsenal he does need to lose a bit though. he hasn't trained much so he's carrying some extra timber

lorddulaarsenal

Yep he does. Basically want him in the condition he was when he faced us last season

This is how I expect us to use him. Don't make it complicated at all. Play to his strengths. When he makes his runs, give him the ball and let him go do his thing. Worst case scenario he loses it and we can counter press and win it back. Best case he scores or wins a set piece.

Can see these two making movies

Big Willie

lorddulaarsenal watching that clip makes me realise Mateta is a lot better than I thought he was.

If these two strike up a bit of an old school 9-10 combo, Odegaard might find himself riding the pine for a while.

Odegaard plays on the other side of the pitch and his relationship with Saka is a staple of our attack. Eze and Gyokeres on the opposite flank suddenly gives us a dual pronged attack. We need Odegaard and Eze in the same team.

Big Willie
yeah when i was watching eze clips last week, i was like "damn, why didn't we go after mateta?"

Coombs

Big Willie been saying...

Mirth

Big Willie United are fools for not going after Mateta

Qwiss

Big Willie he's genuinely really good and still pretty young. Surprised Newcastle didn't go after him this summer. He must be very settled at Palace.

Big Willie

Meatwad yeah when i was watching eze clips last week, i was like "damn, why didn't we go after mateta?"

Yeah we got Gyokares now, but the last x amount of years with no striker we could have used someone like him. Granted he wasn't on my radar, but that's what scouts are there for, right? Shit, never mind, I forgot we sacked all our scouts under Edu.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Mateta is quality.

RocktheCasbah

Yeah, completely changed the game when he came on for Eddie at our place last season.

Klaus

Mirth Yep. The two players in England that I thought were similar in profile to Gyökeres this summer were Delap and Mateta. United pursued the former but not the latter even though he's the better of the two. Only reason of course is that Delap is younger.

lorddulaarsenal

Didn’t need the extra 5 words there Mirth
