"Neville was far from impressed with Gyokeres' display this evening, slamming the 27-year-old for offering nothing while he was on the pitch. Gyokeres has now been subbed off and replaced by Gabriel Jesus up front, while Arsenal fans will also be hoping for Kai Havertz to come back to full fitness as soon as possible.

"The stats back that up, with Gyokeres failing to muster a single shot in the game, while he only had eight touches of the ball and made six successful passes. Arsenal had a decent start to the game, and surely could have capitalised if they'd had a better striker leading the line.

Some AFC fans will point to Jesus and Havertz as options up front,"
"Both Jesus and Havertz have been too injury prone to reliably replace Gyokeres, who is running out of time to prove himself at this level. Ultimately, even if he was hugely prolific in Portugal, with 97 goals in 102 games, he has looked completely out of his depth at a top Premier League club. It remains to be seen who Arsenal could move for, but there will surely be money set aside for a major investment in that position"
Viktor Gyokeres delivered a subdued performance against Liverpool, registering no shots, only eight touches and six successful passes before being substituted. Gary Neville described the performance as ineffective and offering nothing. Gabriel Jesus replaced Gyokeres up front, and Arsenal supporters hope Kai Havertz returns to full fitness. Gyokeres has scored seven goals in 23 appearances since joining from Sporting Lisbon, far below his Portuguese form of 97 goals in 102 games. Persistent injuries to Jesus and Havertz increase pressure to pursue a major centre-forward signing next transfer window.
