Actually for Arsenal I still believe that they still have problems in performance. Not that their performance is bad now but sometimes their consistency is not maintained and precisely when one defeat is obtained they have difficulty getting out of the slump which makes their performance can immediately climb and positive but when one defeat is obtained this makes them immediately down and makes the rhythm they build during the positive trend meaningless. This has happened in the last few seasons when the rise and fall of their performance has always occurred suddenly and indeed last season was the biggest in terms of impact.
Right now if Arteta can't finally solve that apart from the hurricane of injuries received then Arsenal will still be Arsenal as before where they will only be a team with tremendous improvement but on the other hand they are also difficult to be able to compete in the race for the championship even though they can do it but it will only be a spice that makes them only be below the number 1 position.
It is likely that Arsenal have learned a lot from last season's failures so that this season they will try hard to maintain their consistency so as not to lose points in vain. Indeed, last season, if we look at Arsenal's performance, of course if they lose, it will be difficult for them to come back to winning ways. Perhaps their gaps and weak points last season have been corrected by Arteta by pressing his players to perform optimally and fighting to continue to win in every match.
The victory against Manchester City made Arsenal improve their performance this season. The players will continue to maintain opportunities in every match to look for 3 points. Arsenal players' enthusiasm grew quite high after they managed to beat Manchester City. Maybe next week we will see Arsenal leading the standings if they are able to maintain the winning trend they have recorded.
This has happened several times and indeed things like this actually happen like a seasonal disease for Arsenal because seeing from what always happens for them not only last season but previous seasons also sometimes it is the same and this will clearly interfere with their growth especially in performance problems.
This does need to be anticipated, it's just that the problem that is happening now seems like Arsenal are always difficult to make improvements in terms of the performance they have because Arsenal's performance problems always occur suddenly and sometimes it is difficult to anticipate.
Snip-
Chelsea against Arsenal and Manchester City against Brighton are the matches that I am most looking forward to in this case because I think it will be very interesting even though in the end I will be in the Arsenal and Manchester City camp but I think Brighton and Chelsea will definitely give a good fight in this match. In another match there is a derby where Liverpool against Brighton although this is only a match that will be easy for Liverpool but derbies like this are always interesting because there will be hot tension for sure.
