He definitely doesn’t have Ibrahimovic’s mentality. Mentally seems so fragile, his body language says it all. Makes sense why he didn’t join us a year ago because he felt he wasn’t ready enough.
Arteta highlighted how he wanted to see resilience and how striker would respond to drought moments and felt he got the right answer in Gyokeres.
Mentality was the biggest concern of mine. I was willing to bet on the talent anyway but so far the mentality issues seem to be winning out. Guy has no dog in him whatsoever.
I think someone commented about him during the summer, and I think it’s spot on.
It’s like Sesko learned to play football by heart… (not sure I worded it correctly).
He’s just completely devoid of any proper striker instinct. Has some quite freaky qualities but both his movement and reactions when he even gets into some decent positions are just so weird… I can’t even explain it. It’s just wrong.
Just lacks pragmatism and the ability to pick the right solutions. Doesn’t lack anything technically/physically (on the contrary).
