Whether he admits it or not, Arteta is still unable to transform Arsenal into a team with a winning mentality. Arteta continues to learn from his mistakes every season, but Arsenal always fails to compete for the title. This team must have the ability to maintain its performance and not easily slip up in matches against small clubs if it wants to win the EPL trophy. Next season will be a new challenge for Arteta to continue to maintain Arsenal quality by always playing optimally in every match. Arsenal already has quality players in all lines and they are still young, their strengths and abilities must be applied in good cooperation between players in order to achieve goals that almost every season they always fail to achieve.
Well, the problem with the Arsenal squad lies in their mentality. Arsenal tends to always be unprepared for big competitions like the UCL. The comparison of their performance in the Premier League and in the UCL is even clearly visible. But in the Premier League I think Arsenal has become a team that is difficult for other strong teams to beat. Even Man City last season failed to beat Arsenal. Unfortunately, Arsenal sometimes experience less than good results when facing teams that are considered ordinary. Meanwhile, when facing a strong team, Arsenal always looks convincing. But Arteta has succeeded in making Arsenal improve every year. And maybe next season Arteta will also bring Arsenal to an even higher level. But to be honest, I sometimes still doubt whether Arsenal will succeed in winning the Premier League title next season or not. Because Man City certainly won't let Arsenal have the advantage. But I'm sure many people hope that Arsenal will win the title. Because Arteta really deserves it. He has succeeded in making Arsenal a team that Man City couldn't even beat last season.
Just Compare Arsenal with the time when they didn't have Arteta in the team, I'm not saying they are in their best form currently but the thing about Arsenal is they are in a much better situation and don't forget they were very much close to winning the Premier League title during last two years while Ateta is not experienced coach like Guardiola and he lost the race to a team like Manchester City that has too much superstar player and a coach like Guardiola who can be an advantage for any team.
But, still, Arteta and his team are not really ready to race in the great tournaments like the Champions League.
