My anger with the Gunners is that whenever they have that opportunity of getting more points ahead of any club that's coming close to them on the log you see Arsenal playing as if the league title is no more important to them. At this point I can't say they can win the EPL until I see them lifting it. For Arteta to come out strong against Manchester City or any team that's competing for the league title because is not going to be all about City next season, is to get a sharp striker who's always having eyes for goals, that can get up to 20 goals per season, if they have such a player I think things are set for the Gunners next campaign.
The premier league trophy is one that has been on top priority for Arsenal, I believe by this time, they have known better and how well to take care of their mistakes and making sure it's not a reason they mis another opportunity, strikers don't appear to be the problem Arsenal have from my point of view and I'm saying this because they did performed so well with all that they have gat last season and moreover Saka has been doing a really great job in the Frontline, they need a better tactics and I believe they will do better. A striker scoring 20goals in a season will really mean a whole lot to their team and will really help them stay productive but isn't a priority need for Arsenal in recent times.
Arteta should have learned from his mistakes, and I am confident that he will make the fans proud next season, challenge Manchester City, and win the trophy, because I am confident that it is only Guadiola who is preventing Arteta from winning the Premier League. If Arsenal does not achieve anything next season, the best thing they can do is let Arteta go and bring in a new manager, because Arteta has previously worked with Guadiola, and Guadiola as know everything about him Guadiola have know Arteta weak point and if Arsenal president did not make decisions next season, if Arteta did not win tittle they shut just sack him. Because have expected Arsenal should win the trophy last season but they fail to make the fans proud let really see if Arteta will make a change in the competition next season.
As much as I know, Arteta is a good manager and he is trying his possible best to bring the trophy home for arsenal, Arsenal has a pattern that they keep maintaining and for me I feel they should change in other to make a different next season, as team once you are leading till more than half of the season you are suppose to win the trophy but in the case of arsenal reverse is always the case, as a team, I think Arsenal is supposed to figure out how to maintain the lead once the cross January, although the English premier League is not like other league, there are other competitors that are ready to frustrate the plan of a perceived strong team, your analysis of manager pep Gladiola workung with Arteta is correct, yea he may know arteta's coaching pattern this more reason Arsenal should change their pattern of play in other to make a difference this season, for me sacking arteta even if they dont lift the trophy this season is not ideal,they should allow him to do his thing and somuch believe that he may get the desired result in the coming years.
