The Wolves Scare in the EPL

There is a slang in my country that Everywhere first blur. It literally means something shocking happened and you are struggling to comprehend instantly.

This was me when Wolvehampton Wanderers Tolu Arokodare equalized for Wolves against Arsenal in the 90th minute.

I was like what is happening. This is a wolves side that have failed to win or draw their last 9 matches in all competitions. Infact, they have 1 goal in their last 6 matches. Now they have equalized the league leaders with Mancity pushing hard behind us in the league table.

Eventually we got the win thanks to another own goal 4 minutes later. I was so happy. Any win is welcome but we have to improve.

Arsenal can't rely on Bukayo Saka alone. Every player must step up. Odegaard must start being a playmaker and not acting like a right midfielder. We have a proper striker in Gyokeres and must pass the ball to him quickly in dangerous positions.

Arsenal are to used to playing with false strikers that Gyokeres movements off the ball looks alien to them. He might not have a good first touch but he need more through balls. His presence ensures the central defenders don't venture out like that because of his body frame and incessant pressing.

I believe once Arsenal get this right with chance creation (not setpiece) Gyokeres and other players will perform well.
