"Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has probably earned the right to have some pretty high standards, and he showed that with his analysis of Viktor Gyokeres last night. Speaking as a pundit on CBS Sports, Henry singled out one poor moment from Gyokeres in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in yesterday evening's Champions League clash. Although the Gunners ended up winning thanks to two late goals from substitutes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, there was a big opportunity wasted by Gyokeres earlier in the game."
"Henry said there is no way the defenders should have been able to catch Gyokeres from that position, but his poor touches let him down. The Sweden international has started well since joining Arsenal, but this perhaps showed one limitation of his game. Is Thierry Henry being a bit harsh on Viktor Gyokeres? In fairness to Gyokeres, he's not Thierry Henry, and perhaps this was a slightly harsh judgement from someone who was one of the greatest strikers of all time."
Thierry Henry critiqued Viktor Gyokeres for two poor touches that squandered a promising break in Arsenal's 2-0 Champions League victory over Athletic Bilbao. Arsenal secured the win with two late goals from substitutes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, but Gyokeres had an earlier clear opportunity. Henry judged that defenders should not have caught Gyokeres from that position, attributing the chance loss to his poor control. Gyokeres has started well since joining Arsenal and is a clinical finisher, but the incident highlighted a potential limitation in his pace and technique compared with Henry's all-round forward attributes.
