This is actually insane.

Gyokeres has played just a few minutes in the league this season and he’s been robbed of three assists already.

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

Madueke celebrating soon as he saw it was Bruno on the ball. I can’t imagine how many times he’s scored this

[The Football Era @Footballera0]

After this match, all I’ll tell you is that the key to Arsenal playing fluid football in attack this season is making sure Bruno Guimarães, Gyökeres, Ødegaard and Rice all play together, alongside any winger of choice.

Bruno Guimarães is one of the most vertically oriented players in the league. His vision and passing are quick and sharp. He plays his passes before opponents can settle back into their shape.

This is the exact type of midfielder who suits Gyökeres, who is also a vertically oriented striker. He wants the ball played into space quickly, and he wants long passes into the channels.

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Arsenal have played six league games this season and Bruno Guimarães has been a matchwinning force in two of them. #AFC are in their "win-now" moment and he's the ultimate "win-now" signing. Knows the league, understands the challenge, comes off the bench and changes the game.

[Big Willy @Salibasexual02]

We won the league last year because Odegaard and Havertz were injured for most of it, we are so lucky City are likely to be docked points or we wouldn’t win it this years if both of those stay fit.

You may not like to hear that but deep down, you know it’s true.

[JT 🏆 @DaRealDonreal]

It’s not even Saka’s physical decline that worries me, it’s the fact that decision making used to be his greatest asset. He used to be a clever player, it’s like he got stupid overnight.

[Rexzzy @AFC_Rexzzy]

The play for the second goal 😳

[The Football Era @Footballera0]

There is the potential for an elite on-field relationship between Bruno Guimarães and Gyökeres.

A vertical passer loves a vertical runner. This is yin and yang.

Arteta needs to tap into this potential and play them both together regularly.

Gyökeres loves having the ball played to him quickly into space and the channels before opponents can settle.

Bruno Guimarães loves playing the ball quickly. He loves spotting runners in space and in the channels.

Arsenal will go up levels when these two start matches together week in, week out.

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

Arteta needs to understand that we are champions.
This underdog tactics of trying to load everywhere instead of attacking the opposition consistently should be left alone.
Play a striker so you’re ok the front foot all the time. Supply him balls.
This risk adverse gimmick is tiring. We have more quality in the team than this style of play and we have won the league.
Teams are supposed to have long days against us.

[Kelewele Joint 🍟 @Ankamagyimi___]

How did Bukayo Saka miss that last chance? I don’t think it was an offside too. I’m tired of this mid performances he’s producing lately

300k a week can’t be playing like this man. This is pure disgusting

[Arsenal Lore @Arsenal_Lore]

@mikevule @Footballera0 It's painful to watch. You train everyday as a professional footballer. How about train your weaker side? So that you don't look stupid in situations that demand you use your weak foot.

[Arsenal Lore @Arsenal_Lore]

@BDT100000 @Footballera0 He's refusal to use his right foot is ridiculous. He's a professional footballer, the least he could do it train and develop his weak foot!

[Arsenal Lore @Arsenal_Lore]

How can a Professional footballer, the highest paid Player on the club's book. Have this insane refusal to develop and use his weaker foot!? It keeps happening in games. And it's getting to the point where it's becoming ridiculous. The space was all to the keeper's right! F*ck!

[The Football Era @Footballera0]

Horrible miss. This is supposed to be an easy assist for Gyokeres.

[Mr. Peter @Omozemoje12]

@ltarsenal In the first half they didn't even have to worry about our striker

He was never in the 9 position, he left it empty almost every time.

Arteta needs to end this Kai experiment and build around Viktor.

[Sash ~ @ltarsenal]

Leeds' whole backline line started dropping back the moment Gyokores came on. That's the fear he creates.

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

Arteta, sometimes you need a real Centre Forward to just keep the other team’s centre backs busy.
It’s not looking enough because our wingers have been below par.
Any defender that sees a striker always running at them will always be uncomfortable.

[The Football Era @Footballera0]

Seeing how good, fluid and natural Arsenal played in the second half when Gyökeres came on, if you’re still advocating for Havertz to start every match, then you’re an enemy of the club.

With Gyökeres, Arsenal have a willing runner in behind to threaten the opposition’s defence.

They have a striker who can go physical with defenders, occupy them and give other attackers room to operate without suffocating the space.

A striker whose style of play encourages verticality and quick ball circulation as opposed to sterile possession.

Arsenal are a better attacking team with Gyökeres as their starting striker.

[Squawka @Squawka]

Both of Bruno Guimarães' goals for Arsenal have been from outside the box.

Both assisted by Declan Rice.

Both after coming off the bench.

🔁🔁🔁

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

We need a right winger and left winger.

[(fan) Trey @UTDTrey]

I’ll never see these type of comebacks when United are losing, only when I’m hate watching

Life is too unfair
