Arsenal's attack at the end of the season, in my opinion, looked even more confident than City's, but the main thing is not episodic bursts of good play, but stability, this is what the result depends on, and it seems to me that it is very difficult to compete with City in this regard. City planned to get Rodrigo from Real to replace Alvarez, but I think that Alvarez's absence is not critical, he was not a key player in Guardiola's team, and by the way, this was one of the main reasons for his departure. Yes, he is an important substitute player, but City has someone to play in attack without him. Rodrigo, by the way, doesn't want to leave Real, so this won't happen.
If not that a lot of people are dangrading arsenal to some extent they are actually trying their best even if we are not getting the kind of results we want. If we are to rate them even their attacks are impressive even that of Manchester city, just that when arsenal plays against other team I just feel like they need to work more on their confidence. Point are always drawing us back. Arteta should have made a lot of observation to make better decisions this new season. And if arsenal fail to change our ways we are still going to still find it difficult to compete with the city, and if Manchester city should succeed in getting Rodrigo then how effort have to be times two of what we have been playing before. They are trying to strengthen things up. Alvarez abesence wont affect that much compare to Rodrigo filling for him. And pep is smart, I just hope arsenal will Go far this season at least we should be able to win the premier everyone will be happy.
