🚨🔴⚪️ I SAW A POST BY @EduardoHagn — AND THIS IS WHERE THE GYÖKERES DISCUSSION GOES WRONG.
People are talking as if Viktor Gyökeres has suddenly become a bad footballer because he is struggling for confidence.
Let’s remember what actually happened last season.
Gyökeres scored 14 Premier League goals in 36 appearances as Arsenal won the title — Arsenal’s first league championship in 22 years.
He also scored 21 goals across all competitions for Arsenal in 2025/26 according to the season statistics.
Those goals were not irrelevant.
They were part of the team that lifted that trophy.
And before Arsenal even signed him, the Premier League highlighted that he had scored 54 goals in 52 matches for Sporting the previous season.
So suddenly he “isn’t suited to Arsenal”?
Come on.
A player doesn’t go from scoring goals at that rate to forgetting how to play football overnight.
If Gyökeres is struggling, help him.
If his confidence is low, build him back up.
If the system isn’t getting the best out of him, find ways to maximise his strengths.
But constantly telling the player he can’t do this, can’t do that and should move elsewhere is not analysis — it’s piling more pressure onto a player who already needs confidence.
We cannot celebrate his goals when they help us win the league and then rewrite history the moment his form dips.
Gyökeres helped us become champions. He deserves our support now.
🔴⚪️ Back the striker. Back the player. Back our own.

🚨 Mikel Arteta on the strange things he does to Arsenal players during training:
🗣️ Mikel Arteta:
“Sometimes the players arrive at training and immediately know something is wrong. [laughs]
The food is late. The dressing room is too hot. The schedule changes.
Nobody tells them why.
They used to complain. Now they just look at me.
I want them to understand that football will not always give you perfect conditions.
Your flight can be delayed. The pitch can be different. The atmosphere can be hostile. Something can happen that you didn’t prepare for.
So I prefer to make those situations happen here first.
If they can stay calm when I make their morning uncomfortable, they can stay calm when 60,000 people are screaming at them.
I don’t want Arsenal to be comfortable. I want Arsenal to be ready.”
