Ferdinand thinks that as long as Arsenal remains in a strong position, Gyokeres will be considered successful. He points out that when Liverpool was also doing well, no one questioned their performance, but as soon as they had a few losses, everyone assumed they were out of the title race.
Ferdinand suggests that Gyokeres is not playing poorly, but rather, he's not making a significant impact. He's not creating magic, but he's part of a team that's winning games.
Gyokeres' lack of goals is not currently a concern, but if Arsenal starts to drop points, the focus will shift to Gyokeres' performance in attack. The Swedish international has been called up to the national team for upcoming World Cup qualification matches, where he hopes to regain his form.
