I certainly do not expect Gyokeres to reach that level
January 10, 2026 at 5:42 PM
Maybe he might be. Jury is still out.

i do not

I think that’s fair. I think you can also expect him to produce more from what he is doing now. Obviously expecting Haaland level is unrealistic but I don’t think what he’s doing now is enough either.

Obviously Haaland is special but this in response to some of the nonsense like “even Haaland wouldn’t score with the service that Gyokeres is getting”

Starting really at the 87-88 range for high probability

Just barely, Arsenal are lucky that there are 3 dreadful teams this season
January 10, 2026 at 12:32 PM
Maybe not but probably would not have been able to keep the ball with defensive possession the same way either or defended deep with the same effectiveness in the first half

Not winning will do that

I think this will be ideal if Kai comes back from injury and is able to be his previous level.

The ball is in play 32 seconds before out for GK. Alison takes 34 seconds on it and that’s the end of the half.

We got 32 seconds played of the 2 added.

It is not like that would have changed things it’s just so in control of the referees if they want to, to play the actual amount of game time.

For the most part that has worked out for them. They have the second most points

Here is what I wrote back in the summer. Always nice when IMO analysis stands up pretty well (even if I was sitll a bit too optimistic) www.cannonstats.com/p/arsenal-pi...
Arsenal pick Gyokeres?
This is the first big bet from Andrea Berta and I have to say that I am nervous about it and I don't know if that is the right choice.

I took a fair amount of heat for it but the ELO adjusted Portugal OP shot and NPxG numbers were 2.09 and 0.43 per 90.

His numbers this season are 1.7 op shots and 0.29 np goals. The ELO adjustment seemed to push things down towards the right spot.

Hopefully that is better

I need to fix the resolution on this one. Well an update for next week.
