Their glory days have been long enough in the EPL because after the unbeaten Henry era, there was nothing more they could show off even though there were some moments where they were quite promising, but it is still very difficult to repeat past history.
In the last few seasons they have always had quite good momentum, only in the end the situation became the same where they always had trouble maintaining their consistency so that in the end they always repeated the same mistakes where good performance slowly deteriorated over time and lost momentum.
This season I feel that the situation will not be much different, it does not mean that Arsenal are not able to compete because they are still quite capable of doing so, it's just that they will still have difficulty changing their own condition which makes the situation if left alone it will be the same as before where they will only be in the top 4 for domestic competitions but it is difficult to get trophies.
Yes, actually the current Arsenal squad is quite good, whether it's from the defense line, midfield, and also the attack line. But the problem is that Arsenal really can't make their squad a champion. So it's actually quite difficult to assess where Arsenal's gaps are, because they seem to have no gaps but strangely in certain matches they seem to have a lot of gaps. So with that, I think it's clear that the problem Arsenal currently has is the consistency of their performance. Because as we know all Arsenal players are quite good, but they can't continue to play well in every match. So that's why Arsenal has had difficulty getting trophies until now.
In addition, Arsenal is currently not participating in the World Cup competition between clubs, so the players can rest a little more optimally to face the next season and also to face the friendly match next month. As far as I know, next month Arsenal will compete against Milan in a friendly match, I think that's also quite good for preparation for next season. In addition to Milan, Arsenal will also face Newcastle and Tottenham in friendly matches. So of course it will make Arsenal more detailed to evaluate their players. And I hope that next season Arsenal can realize their dream to get another trophy that they have not gotten for a long time.
Because in the end their conditions are still erratic where sometimes their performance is very good but in one moment it turns into a very bad performance, for example in the match this week they can win with a score that is quite striking but in the next match they actually have to experience problems where they cannot win because of difficulty scoring goals.
The players on each line are quite capable even though some of them are young players but in the end because of their erratic performance due to lack of mentality, the situation is sometimes difficult to predict well.
For the new season, although they are not competing in the Club World Cup, they have already scheduled friendly matches to test their squad and this is an important benchmark for whether they are ready for the new season or not.
