Gyokeres is too bloody slow. It's a marginal thing but,
Don't know how Wrighty would get on in this premier league. It's a weird season so far. Everyone else is starting to focus heavily on set pieces as well.
Niall Quinn would score a few....
It?s getting a bit weird when punters and bookies are already saying it?s ours to lose and we?re not even in November .
Games gone
Could t score in a brothel, as the saying goes. He?ll get a few but he?s looking every inch a Championship striker from what I?ve seen so far. His best quality is his physicality. Other than that.. meh..
Timing isn't great there, 7s, given that it was an entire two games ago that he scored two against one of the better defensive teams in Europe.
He'll be fine, he needs time and a good run and the rest of the team to get used to him. We wanted and needed someone who can score the scruffy goals in scruffy games. He's suited to that.
When we make the CL final I would expect to see Havertz in the team.
Quite, until it's mathematically done, I'm not having it.
And even then, we could still get docked points for kicking off with the Mancs. I'll believe it when the silverwear's in a bus driving 'round Islington and not before.
{Wish we'd started a ruck on the first day at OT. Then I'd have known it was nailed on.}

Come, come, Wes. You can?t really count either of those goals as breaking his personal goal drought. One was a fortunate deflection from a wayward scufffed shot, the other, he sort of, just got in the way.
Look, you could be right, it?s still early days and all that but I couldn?t help noticing George Graham in the crowd, his presence embellishing those grinding 1-0 days of old. Personally, I favour the aesthetes, the beautiful game if you will but ultimately, I?ll take an ugly, uncompromising win over an exquisite draw.
Debatable, but even if I accept you are right, the midgets or Odegaard don't score the goals, you need someone like Gyokeres for that.
Henry, as an example, was too close to being one of those tricky players to do what we need Gyokeres to do
It's weird to me that anyone thinks that finishing is our problem. It's a lack of creativity- or more specifically, a reliance on a particular type of creativity.
All of our forward players can score goals. Nobody can score goals if you don't create chances or space.
We want Gyokeres to be Haaland but he isn't even a tenth of the goalscorer that Haaland is.
We don't need him to be Haaland, and we don't even need him to score goals. He just needs to help US score goals.
Remember, no centre forward has been prolific under Arteta. Aubamayang, Laxazette, Eddie, Jesus, Havertz. All have played well but none have scored a huge amount of goals. Havertz has the best strike rate at around 1 in 2 games at centre forward.
We have players who can score goals. We jist need more creativity. Gyokeres can help with that without scoring.
He's a handful. He's very physically strong and he makes defenders panic because of it. Anyway we're getting results and he's been leading the line so I don't see any reason to drop him. We have diminutive, tricky & fast strikers like Jesus who can turn on a two pence and fat load of use he's done for us.
