Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

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 think Arteta deserves to be retained because he is the only one who is able to bring Arsenal to this point, even though this season he failed again in my opinion it was a ridiculous decision for management to fire him because he is the only coach who has brought Arsenal to become a competitor in the EPL for the past two seasons, surely Arsenal management understands the process experienced by Arteta and Arsenal to become a solid team because the process takes quite a long time and is not as easy as turning over your hand, let luck answer all of that regarding the championship title that has not been obtained until now.

There is no doubt that Arteta has changed Arsenal for the better. Look at the numbers, last season they were breathing down City's neck. That's not luck; that's a team getting better. A few points and a few mistakes were all that stood between them and the title. They're off to a great start this season. The team is clicking, and there's a lot of energy. This team really thinks they can win it all. The board should not change its mind. There should be no snap decisions or management merry-go-rounds. Give Arteta what he needs and stand back to watch this team go. Arsenal has the skills and the drive to win. This could be their year

Your statement is on point, am having a rethink about arsenal based on their recent performance although we can't really judge now but looking at what the team is doing presently one will conclude that there are lot of improvement in the team and thats Arteta managerial skills in action, the team is really giving their fans impressive moment and I believe that with this kind of strength in them, there will likely be a great surprise from them this season.
It will be disastrous if the board decide to take any silly decision at this point because as it stands the team is rebuilding and there are no lapses for now, so I don't see any form of decision that does go with supporting the manager as good one, the board should understand that having a good team is not an easy thing, what they really need to be considering now is to put heads together with the manager to see how the present form of the team can be sustained any move aside that, may be regretted later.
