Viktor Gyokeres had yet another disappointing game for Arsenal.
The Swede got the nod up front against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates, and he worked tirelessly like he always does.
However, Gyokeres missed an absolute sitter early in the game, and his movement inside the box continued to be a problem.
Many Arsenal fans are not happy with what Gyokeres has been producing, but some feel his teammates are not helping him either.
Several supporters feel that only one player plays to the striker’s strengths – Leandro Trossard.

Arsenal fans say Leandro Trossard is the only player who’s trying to help Viktor Gyokeres
Trossard and Viktor Gyokeres didn’t spend a lot of time together during their spell at Brighton and Hove Albion, but they still seem to have a good relationship on the pitch.
The Belgian tries to combine with the striker every time he gets the ball, and he created one huge chance against Brighton as well. Arsenal fans spotted that.
One tweeted: “One thing about Trossard is he always spots the Gyokeres runs better than anybody.”
Another wrote: “Gyokeres almost scored from a tight angle with his weaker foot here, all because Trossard was smart enough to spot a striker’s run. Btw Gyokeres makes 100s of this type of runs per match and gets ignored.”
“Something to note, though, it’s only Leandro Trossard who knows how to feed Gyokeres. Why can’t they all feed him like City feed Erling Haaland?” said another.
Another Gooner posted: “Trossard is the only one who speaks Gyokeres’ language, and he keeps proving it.”
“Trossard is our only attacker who knows how to play to Gyokeres’ strengths,” tweeted another.
If you could give one advice to Viktor Gyokeres at Arsenal right now, what would it be?
Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres need to start combining
Trossard and Gyokeres combining is a good sign, but the same needs to be happening on the opposite side.
Bukayo Saka is still Arsenal’s most dangerous attacker, and he gets into a crossing position multiple times every single game.
However, Gyokeres never seems to get on the end of those balls, which is something he needs to improve as soon as possible.
If he doesn’t, we think the Swede will lose his place in the side to Gabriel Jesus, who looked good after coming on, or Kai Havertz, who is days away from returning from his injury.
