Arsenal fans have taken to social media following recent comments from Arteta, with several expressing frustration over Gyokeres’ goal drought. While some highlight the striker’s lacklustre show so far, others use it to cheer him on, reminding Gyokeres that even legends go through barren spells before bouncing back.
For now, the message from both manager and supporters is clear: Gyokeres has the backing to shine—but it’s high time the goals start flowing.
9 who doesn’t score for 9 games isn’t meant to be a striker in Arteta’s Fugazi tactics!!! https://t.co/oQsLEJOQVS

It’s insane how much of a comforting person Arteta is but at the same time he makes everyone insanely committed and hard working.
That’s an incredibly hard to achieve balance, psychological masterclass by Arteta. https://t.co/X3LWTzDTcB

I think Gyokeres needs time to adapt PREMIERE LEAGUE.
Because Premiere league is one of the most difficult league. And he come from SPORTING CP.
He Just Needs Time !! https://t.co/A3UneQZ6rn— RMA_Salman (@ballerbudget20) October 18, 2025
What number 9 goes goal-less six to eight games
Embarrassing https://t.co/mIWTPuAHVK— Nagi (@anuragp45224356) October 17, 2025

I hope this is clear now..
We scored a minimum of 💯 goals without a traditional 9 & you thought we’d just start trying to get one person to score all of a sudden? 😅 https://t.co/F34WAiu3nw

He is a good no 9 IMO, obviously he just came from sporting to Arsenal.
The league difference is huge and he already scored few goals.
He will do good as the season progresses https://t.co/AUXAAucFXG— ABBY (@AbhishekNe95994) October 17, 2025
