Victor Gyokeres disappointed me yesterday, he couldn’t give a good cross to his teammates so they can make the score 2 knowing fully well Arsenal needs more goals in this competition, ever since he joined Arsenal, I have not seen any good impact he has done in Arsenal. He’s not performing very well I think Arsenal made a very big mistake for signing him.
Arsenal was saying Victor Osimhen was costly to sign, I was so angry that Arsenal could not sign him. I know that he was one of the strikers that we fit Arsenal very well, but they could not get him into the team and that is one of the mistake that Arsenal has made they need a good striker like Victor Osimhen if they want trophies they should spend money to get good result.

You don't really need to be disappointed with victor Gyökeres ok, this is his first season playing for Arsenal. At times we all think football is very easy as we see those guys playing it, and one thing you have to understand is that English football is the most hardest league so far any players coming from outside English clubs really need time to adapt their playing pattern especially strikers. Don't be surprise that Mbappe will come to England today today and couldn't do anything in his first season, I'm sure you saw how Mbappe first season at Madrid so allow Gyökeres for now and see what he'll play next season, he was the highest goal scorer in Portugal league sporting cp just let him be for now and hope on him next season.

I don't want to argue much with you because you are right, it is not easy to play football but sometimes fans use their mouth to make it look so easy and simple while some of them can not trap ball. Talking about Gyokeres, he's not the first play to come to premier league because I can remember when Erling Haaland came to premier league ( Manchester city) the dude was pouring goals like it was nothing and some people started comparing him to Cristiano Ronaldo then but up till now Haaland is still doing well

Viktor Gyokeres is a good player. He had difficult form in the PL because playing against English teams is different to playing Portuguese teams. Adapting from Primeira Liga to the Premier League is a style process. Next year Viktor can help the Gunners with more goals.

Arsenal beat Newcastle by one goal like Man City beat Burnley by one. PL games at this stage of the season are hard. Arsenal had a decent lead in the PL but it was lost. They are beating City by 3 points. They had 70 points each after Man City caught up but in the important match yesterday Arsenal beat Newcastle to win 3 points. If the Gunners win the next PL match they will have 76 points.

Because for Arsenal and City now every game is of huge importance, so they try to play as carefully as possible in defense and win the match. The most important thing, is that right now they are simply trying to win the game, rather than aiming to score as many goals as possible in order to improve their goal difference. I think that City has more opportunities for this, because I believe their attack currently looks better, so they should not only try to win, but also try to improve their goal difference.

Man City and Arsenal fans care about winning 3 points in the games. Flare and style is not an option, Mikel and Pep are playing careful tactics. The players want to win without conceding goals. Mikel is feeling pressure because City came from behind to lift the PL under Pep.

A one goal win is still about 3points Same way Manchester City have been doing for years Arsenal wining over Newcastle United might be one of those defining moments if they handle the next match 76 points keep them right in the same control. But the real problem is are they going to be consistency till the end of the whole game.

You want to keep your faith in Man City after seeing their recent impressive performance but Arsenal are currently going a bit down but they have maintained a series of impressive performances since the beginning of this season. But their problem is that they came very close to winning the title and became mentally weak. Arsenal had that experience two years ago and there was the same opponent Man City. During that season, Arsenal were leading the fight for the trophy by a large margin but lost to City at the last minute. Many experienced analysts are citing that previous experience and expressing their doubts about Arsenal winning

In my opinion Arsenal manager Arteta is experienced enough and he will implement some acceptable strategy to win the league title. Coming at this crucial time of the Champions League semi finals, Arteta will advise the players to maintain a stronger position and give a lively game against the strong opponent Atletico Madrid.

Both Manchester City and Arsenal are in the same situation now. Arsenal will play 4 more matches and City will play 5. The team that wins all the matches will be the Premier League champions. Even if you lose a point in a match, you have to give up hope of the title.

Arsenal will play their next 4 matches against Fulham, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Burnley. All these four groups are relatively weak. If Arsenal can keep their performances somewhat consistent they will win all four. Arsenal are also competing for the Champions League title. So their performance in the Premier League is also likely to be somewhat erratic.

City will play Everton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Palace and Aston Villa in their next 5 matches. City are fighting for the FA Cup and Premier League titles. They are not under too much pressure. Maybe they can win all the matches

I hope so man. Not every skilled player from other leagues is able to adapt to the PL. We have seen many examples such as Darwin Nunez. Gyökeres shouldn't let his career drop down. He needs to work harder.

Arteta hasn't even been using him as a starter for 2 matches. He is going for Havertz instead. But he got injured in the Newcastle match so there is an opportunity for Gyökeres again. He needs to make use of it somehow.

Honestly, I doubt that even though I hope they can maintain consistency until the end of the season and hope Man City makes mistakes and drops points, I also have to look realistically at the current position and I can't deny that Man City's strength is slightly better compared to Arsenal and Arsenal's team performance is increasingly declining and inconsistent in every match, that is a fact I acknowledge after watching the performances of both teams in the last few matches.

I think something, Arsenal is in very bad shape, it has to be said, I think it's all the fault of a coach who didn't know how to handle all that cushion of points he suddenly created. City is a natural hunter, if you ask me, for me they are a much better coach than Arsenal's, so nothing more, that advantage alone is enough for them to win. For me, the clear winner of the Premier League is City.

Viktor Gyokeres have done is best and he have shown more seriousness to commit him, honestly his presence in arsenal is a  big opportunity for them because he is a very good player that can take arsenal a long way. Arsenal have good players but I think their only problem is to win the trophy, there are so many teams that are not even better than Arsenal and they are winning trophy, right now arsenal don't lack players all the positions are there and they are in a very good form so the problem is just the winning trophy and I hope some day the record will happen.

[KTChampions]

Arsenal hope is alive for the title. They have done their part and are one step ahead. It is left for city to do theirs tomorrow as the whole case becomes more interesting in the coming weeks.

Are you really seeing it that way? I doubt if arsenal will win the premier league title this season, despite winning their match today against Newcastle. the arsenal football team is no longer playing attractive football, just look at what they played in today's match, arsenal was supposed to win Newcastle with this score line 2:0 but victor yokorest did a stupid pass, instead of passing the ball to Saka or the other player he went and passed it to Newcastle player making the match to end with 1:0 instead of 2:0. I strongly believe that Manchester city will be lifting the premier league title this season, not arsenal.

Arsenal are currently in a better position than City. Firstly, City hasn't yet won their game in hand, which gives them a chance of dropping points. Secondly, Arsenal have easier games to farm a better goal difference (the first additional indicator for determining the champion when points are tied). Bookmakers currently estimate the teams' chances as exactly 50/50, and I think this is not without reason. And I think Arsenal are underrated (because of their ugly play and historical patterns).

Arsenal will have to handle all the next matches because we can see that Man City is now only 3 points behind them and if this team wins their next 35 round matches, they will be able to keep their chances of winning the PL trophy somewhat under control by getting seventy six points. However, the only challenge that gives Arsenal is Man City, you should take a look at the team performance and team understanding that City has been able to improve a lot due to which they are able to play with great dedication on the big stage.

It seems to me their achievement in this new year is to win the EFL title and they have a chance to win another title which is the FA Cup but Chelsea will be Manchester City's rival in the FA Cup tournament final so I personally believe that this team will now have mental pressure on both sides especially to handle the situation well even Pep Guardiola's team also has the hunger to be the table topper of the PL.

Yeah you're right, I've already go true matches left for Man city and Arsenal from what i observed Arsenal remaining matches is more easier that Man city own. Yesterday Arsenal won Newcastle to top the league again with 3points except Arsenal messed up again by losing or drawing any of those matches, Manchester City still have Aston Villa and Bournemouth to play of which this two clubs want to play in Europe next season i don't think man city will get this 6 points from this clubs here.

I think this point you made is incorrect, arsenal are not in a better form than Manchester city, just because they were able to win their last game doesn't mean that they are better than city, as a matter of fact city has a better chance of winning the league title because arsenal are currently inconsistent.

Victor Gyokeres disappointed me yesterday, he couldn’t give a good cross to his teammates so they can make the score 2 knowing fully well Arsenal needs more goals in this competition, ever since he joined Arsenal, I have not seen any good impact he has done in Arsenal. He’s not performing very well I think Arsenal made a very big mistake for signing him.
Arsenal was saying Victor Osimhen was costly to sign, I was so angry that Arsenal could not sign him. I know that he was one of the strikers that we fit Arsenal very well, but they could not get him into the team and that is one of the mistake that Arsenal has made they need a good striker like Victor Osimhen if they want trophies they should spend money to get good result.

Gyökeres is overrated player and over priced too and the fans are putting too high expectation to him in fact since arrived to Arsenal Gyökeres is hard to adapt with this team and if we talking about the experience before joining Sporting and transfered to Arsenal Gyökeres is Brighton player on season 2021 i think he should be know well about premier league and adapt well but in fact everytime he was playing Gyökeres not always be give positive impact for Arsenal even his performance is very dissapointing and cannot much help the team

I know if we see about the goal records Gyökeres pretty good because in premier league he can scores 12 goals but for long term i think Arteta cannot rely on him especially for forward player that at the end of this season or this summer when window transfer market opened i think Arsenal should be targetted or buy new player for forward position because i am sure if Arsenal can improved this weaknesses next season they will be better

[SatoPrincess]

You don’t sack a manager when you’re at the top of the league or consistently finishing 2nd for years. BFF

Good game for Arsenal yesterday, they desperately needed those 3 points. However I’m very critical of Gyokeres, his performance yesterday is more reason why Arsenal should be looking for a striker in the next transfer window. I don’t recall why Arteta didn’t go for Victor Osimhen when  he wanted to leave Napoli, he could have made this team complete.

I couldn’t believe a centre forward with that price tag could ruin such a chance at goal. IMO Eze has been a better signing for Arsenal than Gyokeres despite not being played in his natural position. I really hope the sporting directors can find lethal strikers to sign next season so they don’t have to run the squad to the ground.

You can't read? Arsenal are currently in the better position, and I've given my reasons for thinking so. Besides, bookmakers are giving the teams a 50/50 chance, so if you don't believe them, bet on City. Arsenal's performances have been dismal towards the end of the season, but City aren't exactly shining either. For example, yesterday they barely beat Southampton. If it were Arsenal, they'd be decimated by criticism.

I really hope the sporting directors can find lethal strikers to sign next season so they don’t have to run the squad to the ground.

This is his first season in the Premier League but Eze has got better experience so he understands the league better, I'll start judging Gyokeres after this season but i think Arsenal really need another striker as support incase he continues to struggle next season. They have the opportunity of signing Osimhen for a fair price but choose Gyokeres, his stats at Sporting Lisbon really deceived Arsenal.
