Wetin dey happen, my pipo! Arsenal don land serious wahala as dem prepare for Leeds match dis Saturday o. Na so di Gunners sharp like razor, but dem don knack dem selves lie down for ground after dem lose at home last week. Na dem first loss for Emirates dis season, e no too sweet!
Coach Mikel Arteta dey vex, team don dey lack fire as dem no fit win any of dem last three league matches, but no be wetin wan scare dem as dem still dey four points clear for di top. No be small tori! Di Swedish striker, Viktor Gyökeres, wey score twice during dem last meet with Leeds, don fire up to face dem again.
Gyökeres don finally find him scoring legs back after e net against Kairat for Champions League — dat one na fresh breeze as e don hit six goals for Arsenal dis season. But no be make we chop small as dem get Kairat, at least mild wahala don make dem feel some kind confidence. E don talk say di atmosphere for Elland Road go sweet, and e dey ready to collect three points for dis away game!
But e no easy for di striker as him don dey face serious scrutiny after Mikel Arteta leave am for bench against Manchester United. People dey fear say dem go call am ‘bust’ after hefty transfer fee of around £55m + add-ons. E don score five goals for 20 Premier League matches, but mostly against di small small teams wey dey struggle.
Di pressure dey build up around Gyökeres, but former Arsenal star Kieran Gibbs talk say make we give am time, no be wetin one month of form go define am. E gree say na di team pattern dey misalign with wetin Gyökeres dey bring. Na true talk, for years Arsenal don dey waka without ‘classic’ centre forward.
Dem dey try adapt, but e go take time. Meanwhile, with Gabriel Jesus back in di mix after long injury lay-off, e clear say Gyökeres no dey see dat first team shirt as e go need to buck up sharp sharp!
But no shaking! Arsenal no fit afford to slack as dem dey chase title wey dem no carry come 22 years! Dem know say Leeds no fit fall hand again o. As di title race dey hot up, Arteta get plenty big decisions to make, but fans dey hope sey dis Gyökeres go fit sharpen him skills before di match kickoff!
Make una sabi, no be only Gyökeres dey face pressure, whole team dey catch cold, key players like Martinelli and Saka dey find am difficult to find di back of di net too. Gunners fans don dey hope sey dem go fire up and bring di enjoyment back to di pitch!
So, no forget carry una popcorn as dis Gunners dey go headed to clash with Leeds. E go surely be something to watch as vybe dey hot! Victory dey await for dem, and we dey all dey hope sey dem go bring di three points back home. Naija we go hear di gist!
