Arsenal fans told they should be ‘concerned’ about new signing after Liverpool defeat | Football

The former manager of Newcastle, Alan, Pardew, said that Arsenal supporters should be `concerned ” about Viktor Gyokerres after the” calm “performance of the attacker in the 1-0 defeat of the team against Liverpool.

Sunday’s heavyweight competition seemed to be heading for a relentless draw, but Dominik Szoboszlai had other ideas and pulled a superb free kick from the 83rd minute to seal the three points to Liverpool.

The result saw the champions of Arne Slot open an advance of two points on Chelsea, second, at the top of the Premier League table before the international break.

With Bukayo Saka excluded by an injury, Mikel Arteta chose to appoint Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli on each side of Gyokerres in attack, with Ebelechi Eze starting among the replacements in Anfield.

A week earlier, Gyokerres had managed to silence his skeptics with a splint to leave the brand for Arsenal in their newly promoted Leeds 5-0 beat.

But Gyokerres – which could cost Arsenal up to 64 million pounds sterling – has struggled to have a significant impact against the champions, but may have been disappointed with a lack of quality service for its new teammates on the Merseyside.

Pardew had little sympathy for Gyokerres, however, and felt that the apparent lack of the Rhythm and the Incision of the Swedish should be a concern for visitors.

“Can I tell you what I would be concerned if I was an arsenal fan?” Gyokerers, so far, said Pardew on Talksport shortly after Liverpool’s victory.

“I look at him and I think,” I want a little more of you! ” »»

“Sport is different because it is another type of culture and sport was a large team in which it was and it was always going to get objectives there.

“But when he was in Coventry, he looked fast on the side of the field, quickly appropriate.

“Now, in the Premier League, he didn’t look fast today, right?” There were times when he had walked and did not exceed central defenders.

“It is a concern if this child can intensify and be this number nine that Arsenal has been waiting for three years.

“There is a lot of pressure on him and I really hope he cracks him, but I thought today that he was silent.”

Analyzing the match on the match of the day, Wayne Rooney suggested that Gyokerres could embark on hers once he is able to create a link with his new boy Eze.

“Arsenal obtained players to harm the teams,” said former Manchester United captain and England on the BBC Match of the Day program.

“They brought Eze to be part of it, they have good Flair players, so I would like to see more attack in the game open to score and create goals from different opportunities rather than pieces.

“From the first games, it is very similar to what we saw last season. They must find a way to play with Gyokerers in the team.

“Eze will arrive in this. They have new players but it’s the same arsenal.

“To be fair, they have not been too far in the last two or three seasons, so they do something good, but they need this added spice.

“When you look at Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah and his individual shine, and the other players who have created and scored a lot of goals, I think Arsenal needs the one alongside what they already do.”

Rooney has reserved special praise for Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, applauding the duo for having managed to eliminate the renowned summer signature of Arsenal through the match.

“Liverpool was fantastic in individual battles,” added the five -time winner of the Premier League.

“They were not afraid to go to Arsenal, especially on Gyokerres.

“I thought the four rear was excellent in the way they did this, especially Konate and Van Dijk.
