I also think that City did not have the best season last year and this is what gave Arsenal the opportunity to follow City until the very last round. And although in the last season it seemed that Arsenal became a more stable team, I am not in a hurry to say that Arteta will completely get rid of this problem, and therefore I do not think that Arsenal can become the main competitor for City this season, at least until the first decline.
Many people want Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season after failing twice, I think if they fail for the third time it will be very painful for Mikel Arteta and I'm afraid the club won't trust him anymore.
That's what I’m saying. This is the make or mar season for Arteta. If he fails to return the EPL and/or UCL, he doesn't deserve any extension. The owners backed him real good. Show workings or bounce.
Sometimes I feel the Club Management are okay with the progress. Yes, I know that the longer he stays the better the team becomes.
I think if the club had wanted a quick result, they would have appointed a world Class coach.
Nobody has said otherwise in the last 2 seasons. I’m simply saying efforts without results is not it at all.
Even Arteta knows he has to win the EPL title.
Time in football is very short. It evolves faster than other fields in terms of tactical changes & career longevity. Time can no longer be considered as a constraint to Arteta.
I totally understand what you are saying, the truth is Arteta would have won the league if not for a coach like Pep Guardiola. Pep knows how to compete in the top and it will take something extra to defeat pep Guardiola when it comes to winning titles. Arsenal have done everything possible to win it but it is not working. You are correct when you said Manchester City had a difficult campaign last season. They were without their top players for a considerable number of time. Kelvin absence affected Haaland in terms of goal scoring and Rodri few games out due to suspension, was a major setback for them. If Manchester City have their complete squad active, Arsenal will find it difficult to pipe city for the league title. The only thing that Arsenal can wish for is that Manchester City should start having bad results immediately, but if City continue like this till January then the league is already theirs.
