I just see Arsenal repeating same thing they did in the premier league last season, just take a look at how Arsenal started very well this season just to reach this stage and starts losing points.
Arsenal were actually better last season than they are this season. They lost so much form this season and I believe it's due to fatigue. A top club needs squad depth to remain at the top and a very good rotation. Last season, Arsenal were still in form at this point of the season. They got bad after a couple of injuries and fatigue.
So, did you mean arsenal was the only club who was getting fatigue? Did you think other club was not getting the same thing like arsenal as well? this is so strange to see that you said like that caused by all of teams were working so hard to win any competitions.
It sounds non sense to use fatigue as an excuse to justify the lost streak faced by arsenal. Just make it clear if arsenal was playing so badly due to the its horrific performance. It will be far easy to explain what is happening with arsenal.
Fatigue is a very big problem that prevents high-flying teams. This usually affects teams that press very much in matches. It affected Liverpool too after they won the EPL.
Arsenal will make the top 4 but they won't be among title contenders.
So, what about the club like manchester city and liverpool? Are you joking with your statement? all of top teams have busy schedules and using fatigue as an excuse is a non sense thing.
Fatigue should be the excuse on for the decline in their performance. Any club that is not up to the task of winning the trophy, does not deserve it because we have other clubs that are in the same competitions that Arsenal is in,and they are doing good. The fact remains that Arsenal cannot be consistent in their matches till the end. They use to have this weak spirit of fighting till the end, and the easily give up when the competition is tight.
If you talk about injury, I can understand that because it is injury that I think can hit a club hard, to make them decline in performance. Arteta should have learnt his lesson from last year, that he should have brought new and strong players that can replace other players when they have dropped form. Arsenal is always on the race but they give up on it at the middle. Lack will take this as lack of proper plan and focus.
