Everything about this Gyokeres assist for Saka is perfect. The vertical run he made, the pause to delay the ball till Saka arrives in space, and then the pass. The number of times he makes this sort of runs and gets ignored is insane

The reason this clip isn’t trending is because it doesn’t suit agenda. Gyokeres singlehandedly manufactured a big chance for Odegaard by carrying the ball across the entire length of the pitch. No other Arsenal striker is capable of doing this.

How come Havertz finds Gyökeres without breaking a sweat? Martinelli, Eze, and White find him easily too. All of a sudden we’ve stopped hearing those stupid “poor box movement” and “it’s impossible to create for him” narratives.

For those who don’t get it, compare how Bellerin attacked Ozil’s pass here to how Timber attacked Saka’s. Bellerin only had one thing in mind which is squaring it across to Aubameyang. This is how you feed strikers who makes in-behind runs.

Gyokeres in the buildup to the Havertz goal that was ruled out. Jockeying the ball to get his teammates in the right position, then that pinpoint cross with his weaker foot.

I still find it hard to believe this happened in real life. This is one of the most disgusting things a player has ever done. Sheer lack of respect for the club, the fans, manager and his teammates.

These two clips are exactly how Arsenal will exploit PSG’s weaknesses and finish them off. PSG press man-to-man, which leaves acres of space in midfield for central carriers like Rice and MLS to exploit. Add Eze’s central carrying to that and PSG will have no answer to Arsenal’s threat. This time around, Gyokeres will be the main receiver of those passes into the channels.

I’m loving this mutual understanding between Saka and Gyokeres. This new creation pattern looks like something they've been working on in training: —Gyokeres pins the CBs —Saka cuts in and plays a through pass —Gyokeres peels off the defenders and shoot. It will click soon ⏳

Insane reflex from Raya here. This is the type of save they told you he can’t make. He singlehandedly worked for his clean sheet yesterday.

Mika Godts is an elite technician, one of the most technically gifted winger/AM hybrids in football right now, very similar to Cherki in this sense. He has the ability to beat his man in wide areas or pockets, in open or tight space. He can manipulate the ball from any angle. On top of that, he strikes the ball cleanly and can pick passes from any angle, which makes him a serious output threat. He’s not a physical monster, but he holds his own. Cherki has already shown you don’t need to be a physical anomaly to succeed as a winger/AM in the Premier League, as long as you’re supreme technically. He’s still only 20 years old.

Eli Junior Kroupi is the most obvious striker signing for Arsenal this summer. I genuinely don’t think any other club should even be competing with Arsenal for his signature at this point, he’s already an Arsenal hero. Kroupi profiles more as a traditional goal-poaching number 9 than a second striker or false 9. Low centre of gravity, physically robust, excellent in tight spaces, strong ball retention, elite finishing, and outstanding ball striking from different angles. He draws comparisons to Sergio Agüero. As things stand, he’s already a top 3 pure finishers in the Premier League at just 19 years old, and he’s still far from his peak. This will be Arsenal’s striker for the next decade.

Have you ever seen Zubimendi beat a press comfortably and progress the ball like this?? Partey might be a disgusting rapist (allegedly) but you can’t deny his qualities, he’s on a different stratosphere to Zubimendi on the ball.

The difference between Myles Lewis-Skelly receiving passes in midfield and Martín Zubimendi receiving is staggering. When MLS receives the ball, he does it with the intention of progressing play vertically between the lines. His first instinct is always to look for receivers higher up in pockets. His high technical level also makes him extremely press-resistant, he can beat pressure with just a simple shoulder drop. Zubimendi is the opposite of this.

—Look at Saliba’s pass to Gyokeres in the channel. —How Gyokeres made the run to free himself. —The cross that led to Trossard’s shot. —Then the Saka rebound. This is textbook on how to play to Gyokeres’ strengths, Arsenal have been doing it since the last match.

Arsenal invested £3.5M on highly rated 18 years Jaden Dixon from Stoke City. A CB/RB hybrid standing 6’2, he’s a physical freak. He profiles as a blend of Ben white and Timber — White’s composure on the ball and passing range from deep, combined with Timber’s 1v1 defending and press resistance. He’s one of the best defensive talents in England.

When we say the club needs to take more risks and play more centrally, this is exactly what we mean. Look at Timber’s pass for that Gyökeres goal, there was barely a passing lane, but he took the risk and punched it into Zone 14… and it led to a goal.
