The progress shown by Arsenal in the last 2 seasons is indeed quite impressive, every season there is a change in a positive direction from this team and if you look at that I think it is likely that Arsenal will be much better next season. And for Arteta I think he should be appreciated because what he did was not easy and the matter of defeating Pep Guardiola is not an easy job and everything takes time so currently Arteta is in the process with Arsenal and we just need to be patient until that season comes, I'm sure that will happen if Arsenal continues to consistently make changes like in the last 2 seasons.
From the changes that we have seen so far in the Arsenal team, of course it would not be wrong if many people are more hopeful to see Arsenal become a candidate for champions next season and have the potential to beat more of their rivals in the Premier League. I also see that Arteta himself is still quite enthusiastic about making changes to the Arsenal team so I am not surprised when Arsenal can win right away at the start of the season. However, Pep Guardiola's team will still be a tough competitor for Arsenal next season so Arsenal must remain vigilant against Manchester City.
