I don’t think Arsenal is only lacking mentality, but experience as well. I mean look at their team, full of young players who are doing a wonderful job and putting big teams like Manchester City on the edge. 2 seasons in a row they were very close to winning the Premier League and they just bottled it.
But this season I got a feeling that Manchester City would just dominate the Premier League. At first Arsenal and Liverpool might give them a little fight but I think in the later half of the league, City would just dominate through their experience. Liverpool is under a new manager, I think he still has to go through a little ups and downs to finally get a solid team. On the other hand, Arsenal might also give a good fight to Manchester City but their lack of experience will come back to bite them. Who knows, Arsenal might take some lessons from the previous season and finally win the Premier League this season. It is still very early in the season, so making predictions are very tough right now.
Manchester United might give a tough time to City. They are looking very solid to me. Yes, you can say they have just hardly won against Fulham but they have looked solid, right? Previously they had lackings in the defense but they signed De Ligt and Mazroui, both of whom looked good in their Premier League debut. On the other hand, Zirkzee also got the goal on his debut as well. Manchester United is showing promise.
Arsenal do have a very young and talented squad, so their inexperience may tell at key moments. On the other hand, I believe that they have developed quite distinctly in comparison with last season or the year before; finishing runners-up will be an important experience for them.
Although Manchester City do have the advantage in terms of experience and squad depth which could make them favorites to dominate again this season, I also think that Arsenal and Liverpool still have the potential to put up a strong fight. If they can keep up consistency, learn from the past, then why not give these teams an edge?
Talking of Manchester United, well, they have had an upswing with new player recruits and maybe they'll give City a run for their money. However, it's also really early in the season. Your word is final; anything can go at this point. A lot could still change as the season develops, but that is what makes football so interesting.
