Gary Neville was disappointed by the “really poor” performance of Viktor Gyokeres against Liverpool and accused the Arsenal striker of not contributing enough in the goalless draw.

Gyokeres’ frustrating start to life at Arsenal continued at the Emirates Stadium as he failed to register a shot against Arne Slot’s side and made it 10 games without an open-play goal.

The Sweden international scored 97 goals in 102 appearances for previous club Sporting but his tally for Arsenal stands at just seven in 24 games following his £55m arrival in July.

Gyokeres was a peripheral figure on Thursday night, only touching the ball eight times before his 64th-minute withdrawal for Gabriel Jesus, and Neville was not surprised to see his number come up.

“Not a surprise, that,” he said on co-commentary.

“He’s been ineffective, and that’s being kind. It’s a really poor night from him, he offered nothing.

“Look, there’s not getting service and then there’s getting involved in the game and doing more. He needed to do more.”

Gyokeres’ total of eight touches was his lowest in a game he has started this season and Neville questioned his movement after Arsenal failed to capitalise on a string of crosses in the first half
