I don't think Arsenal are too pleased with their win, like many they were just testing tactics and some players, everyone should realise that's what pre-season matches are for, not to satisfy their egos with wins. Most teams don't even put half of their main squad on the pitch in such matches. But it's definitely worth saying that Arsenal are feeling good about themselves
There is little to no much feeling they could have wished for asides this. They really did well in the match and a win was what they actually fought for and they got it right. Arsenal looks very confident ahead of the next season. I hope this season their morale don’t die halfway because that is what happened even in their last season game which they finished as runner even when they had the opportunity to win the trophy. Judging from the preseason games, they have all what it takes to be a winner and get to win a trophy next season. We will wait to see what they can pull up when the season starts.
For this coming season, I did not see Manchester United competing with Manchester City. Although Manchester United can make the top four, but the current squad and the coach we have now cannot make us compete favourably with Manchester City.
I like the honesty in your own submission. Whatever will make Manchester United step up to the position of Manchester City in this coming season will take a great grit from the Man U team. Guardiola is still the manager of Manchester City and it doesn't seem like they're willing to perform less than they did were in the last season. Meaning Guardiola will recruit more talented players. Another advantage for Manchester City right now is that they have a manager who's committed to his job and also ready to lead from the front line. He has already understood the club and it's management and knows how to manage them the best.
You have a point but that does not make us come to a conclusion about them yet. The Manchester City team we have now are far better than Manchester United and I haven’t seen any performance from them even in the preseason to make me have a change of mind that they can stand at a competition to beat Manchester City now. While not seeing any change from them, I think we have to also note that until the season begins fully and we are able to analyse their individual team performance before we can come to a conclusion of what this teams will be by next season.
