Arsenal’s push for the Premier League title hit another snag last night. They could only manage a 2-2 draw against Wolves, who are stuck at the bottom of the table. That result leaves Arsenal just five points ahead of Manchester City. City still has a game in hand too, which makes things even more tense at the top.

There’s still the trip to the Etihad coming up, and let’s be real, that match could decide everything. Arsenal fans are in for a stressful finish, no doubt about it.

One player who just hasn’t lived up to the hype is Viktor Gyokeres. Since joining Sporting CP for around £60 million last summer, he’s barely made a dent. The numbers say it all: 13 goals in 35 appearances. For a guy who scored 54 goals in all competitions the year before, that’s a huge letdown. He hasn’t found the net in his last three games, and it’s not just about goals; his overall game looks off.

Gyokeres’s passing has been shaky, with just 61% of his passes finding a teammate. That’s among the worst in the league for forwards. And when he tries to take players on, it’s not much better; he’s only completed 18% of his dribbles, which puts him near the bottom again.

Honestly, it’s starting to feel like déjà vu for Arsenal. Remember Nicolas Pepe? The club spent £72 million on him in 2019. He arrived with massive expectations and ended up leaving on a free in 2023 after never really delivering. Gyokeres is starting to look like another expensive gamble that just hasn’t paid off.

And then there’s Eberechi Eze. Arsenal splashed out £67 million for him, hoping he’d be the creative spark in midfield. He gave fans a moment to remember with a hat-trick in the North London Derby, but aside from that, he’s faded badly. Since mid-December, Eze has started only two league games. Last week against Brentford, he didn’t even make it to halftime. Last night at Molineux, Arteta didn’t even trust him to start, instead moving Saka into the number ten role. Eze came on for just 25 minutes, touched the ball 15 times, and only once in the opposition’s box. He didn’t create any chances either.

Between Eze and Gyokeres, Arsenal spent a huge £127.5 million last summer. Both have fallen way short of expectations. Eze, especially, looks like he’s on the verge of becoming another big-money flop at the Emirates. Fans expected a lot more. Right now, they’re just not getting it. 

Piers Morgan thinks Mikel Arteta and Arsenal should recreate that famous Top Gun volleyball scene to help get their title hopes back on track.

Morgan chatted with Gabby Agbonlahor and Alan Brazil on talkSPORT Breakfast on Thursday morning, not long after Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Wolves.

Arsenal seemed set to grab a significant three points at Molineux.

Bukayo Saka put Arsenal ahead early, and Piero Hincapie doubled their lead ten minutes into the second half.

Hugo Bueno cut the lead in half around the hour mark, trying to slow down Arsenal's title chase.

Then, Tom Edozie scored in stoppage time, forcing Arsenal to split the points with the team at the bottom of the league.

After the game, Arsenal and Wolves players got into some scuffles, as the Gunners struggled to keep their cool with their lead at the top now just five points.

Manchester City, their title rivals, play Newcastle on Saturday night and have a game in hand over Arsenal.

Morgan appeared on talkSPORT Breakfast on Thursday to talk about Arsenal's chances.

He joked about not wanting to face the music after Arsenal's slip-up but said it was time for the team to stand up to the pressure.

Morgan suggested Arteta take the players somewhere warm during their week off, referencing that Top Gun scene to let them relax.

For those who don't remember, the scene involves Iceman and Slider playing volleyball against Maverick and Goose, showing off their team spirit.

Morgan said, Here's my advice for Mikel: We have a week off. I want these guys on a plane somewhere warm from Monday until Friday.

I want them to play zero soccer. They look mentally drained. Let's give them a break.

Take the pressure off, put them on a beach, and let them play beach volleyball like the pilots in 'Top Gun'. They seem tense, and I think that's what I saw last night.

Arsenal's next game is on Sunday against Tottenham in the North London Derby.

Spurs are having a tough season and are only five points above the relegation zone.

After a poor run, Thomas Frank lost his job and was replaced by Igor Tudor.

Despite the change, Morgan expects Arsenal to beat Spurs.

Morgan added, I can't think of a better place to go than Tottenham on Sunday, and I'm guessing Mikel Arteta will give them a good talking to.

Let's go beat Tottenham, which shouldn't be hard. They're one of the worst Tottenham teams I've ever seen.

We can push them close to the relegation zone if we win on Sunday. If that's not motivation, what is?

After Spurs, Arsenal plays Chelsea. I can't think of two better games than a North London Derby and a derby against Chelsea.

Morgan was reminded that he predicted Arsenal would win the Premier League by March.

Back in September, after Arsenal beat Newcastle, Agbonlahor asked Morgan if Arsenal would win the league.

Morgan responded, '100 per cent.' Arsenal will win the Premier League.

Liverpool is overrated. They've been lucky. Arsenal had a tougher start, and look where we are.

We are going to win the league. I wouldn't be surprised if we win it by mid-March.

Morgan has since changed his tune, saying, 'I admit our chances of winning the Premier League by mid-March are zero.' It's going to be a tough race.

City will be right behind us. I wouldn't be surprised if Newcastle beat them on Saturday and we beat Tottenham on Sunday.

Morgan believes the week off will help Arsenal get back on track. Let me assure you, we will reset. We will beat Tottenham, we will beat Chelsea, and City might lose to Newcastle on Saturday.

We will win the league, and I still think we're going to win the quadruple. Then, I'll repost all the jokes to my nine million followers for the next year.
