Viktor Gyokeres had a challenging debut for Arsenal against Manchester United, failing to record a shot and accumulating only three touches in the penalty area during his hour on the field. In comparison, United's Benjamin Sesko had four touches in the box in less playing time. Experts Daniel Sturridge and Micah Richards noted that Gyokeres needs to adapt his game to the Premier League environment, expressing hopes that he would perform better in future matches, particularly at home.
Gyokeres is used to playing a specific way with Sporting Lisbon throughout his career; I think he has been a traditional centre-forward who's going to make runs in behind.
He's going to have to also alter his game. It's not just about the team changing for him. It's about him changing for the team also.
Today he just looked a little bit frustrated. The atmosphere was just a lot for him today.
The manager is going to have to implement certain things on the training pitch. He's going to have to have personal conversations.
