Arsenal are always started the season with a powerful performance that even make all the fans be proud of them, but at the end of day they they will end up of repeated the same mistakes they made last season by not playing well enough to make them win the league; and that’s the problem that Arsenal was facing in severals years now. Because it will not proper in a situation by after putting in a lot of efforts to make the beginning standard and at the end of day they will being in a second position in the table, I think Arteta need to take look at the situation and find out the best solution for Arsenal so that they can able to win difference leagues in next coming years.
If Arsenal finish second this season this will be there second consecutive runner up position in EPL. Not only in EPL, we saw similar performance from Arsenal in UCL this time where they after beating Real Madrid in quarter finals was emilinated in semi's. Showing good performance in start of season is good but it's of no use if team can't perform well at crucial stages of the tournament. They now have only two games left in EPL and they must show good performance in these two matches to finish second this season and also qualify for next UCL.
However, it still won't be impressive if a team fails to win a title and even for Arsenal it can be called a failed team because they have spent a lot of money in the last few seasons but have not been able to get any trophies.
Arsenal's problem is always the same every season, namely not being able to maintain consistency so that towards the end of the season they always fail to win the title.
I think their success in reaching the Champions League semifinals and even if they are able to finish in 2nd place in the final standings later cannot be given any appreciation, a team that spends a lot of money and builds a team in the last few seasons should have been able to get the title, but in fact Arsenal did not so it can be said that Arsenal is a failed team.
