In fact, the Arsenal team once performed exceptionally well. In earlier days no other team could have secured victory easily with Arsenal team. But currently the performance of the Arsenal team is not consistently good. Compared to previous performances, Arsenal are far behind now.
From the start of the season for 26 matches, Arsenal has managed to secure the first position in the standings, indeed it is extraordinary, no one can replace it and maybe most people have assumed that Arsenal will be the winner at the end of the season. But it turned out they were wrong, after several players suffered an injury Arteta lost the balance in terms of form and resulting in Arsenal losing their last few matches towards the end of the season. This is very painful but indeed nothing is impossible. Guardiola was extraordinary, he managed to win consistently, bringing the club up in every game with a very satisfying ending. The Citizens have managed to secure the Premier League title this season.
As a Gunners supporter, I actually don't really expect that they will win a trophy, especially in the 2022-23 season. even though I had been at the top of the standings for several weeks, what made me not too optimistic was Arteta. why, like I said before in many posts. there are a number of things that we can criticize what Arteta did, especially when making decisions. not infrequently, he always makes the wrong decision and even tends to be late. plus, he tends to ignore the performance of his core team. I mean, if one of his core teams underperforms several times, he should rotate it with substitutes. I saw that there were several matches where Buyako Xaka played very badly. however, Arteta did not try to pull him out and replace him. apart from that, like Martinelli, Arteta tends to always put up his core squad even though some of them are underperforming. in fact, they have Trossard, Emile Smith Rowe, even Jorginho if Partey is bad at his game.
Towards the end of the season, in several matches Arteta made the mistake of making Fabio Viera and at the same time Rob Holding. in fact, he has other players who are more ideal for rotation. in the end, they lost points and gave up City to reduce the difference in points to shift the top of the Premier League standings. even so, however I appreciate what Arteta has done, his mission this time was considered successful in bringing Arsenal to 2nd place. Furthermore, Arsenal can again become a strong competitor for City next season.
