Gyokeres fails to elevate Gunners

[Getty Images] Former Manchester City defender and Match of the Day pundit Nedum Onuoha: "Viktor Gyokeres, Piero Hincapie and Mikel Merino got some minutes tonight. Playing away in the Champions League, it is always going to be tough, but I think with Gyokeres, you can feel the difference when he is playing compared to when Kai Havertz is. "I don't think at the moment Gyokeres is really elevating Arsenal to that next stage because there are certain parts of his game that, in terms of general play, it feels different to some of the other players in there. "I am sure Mikel Arteta is still more than happy for him to play the game the way that he does do it, and his effort is not the issue here, but he is just different. "I think some of the praise that Arsenal have received in recent weeks has been because of their fluidity in terms of how they have attacked, and, the way Gyokeres has been playing, that's not where he is at right now. "That's not to say he can't necessarily be in that position, but you get the feeling at this moment in time there is a reason why Havertz is the preferred striker, and tonight was another example because after Havertz came on, the game felt different. "Arsenal created chances before that and Gyokeres created a chance or two himself, but Arsenal just felt like a different team when Havertz was in there, maybe because there were some more familiar faces coming on to the pitch as well, the likes of Christos Tzolis and so on, but they looked different and it felt different, it felt more familiar."
