Arsenal has really made notable efforts previously even though it all has been towards a near success which I wish to attribute it to the absence of a super striker to have helped them go beyond the threshold of a second place that they have been stopping. I think if Arsenal were able to maintain a second place all this season's without a top striker then they can do better now despite other opponents moves on new signings to their squad.
Arsenal has always been able to demonstrate their dominance from the start of each season. And that's proof enough that this team is truly strong. I personally sometimes have high hopes for Arsenal to win the title. However, this team sometimes suffers from unlucky situations, such as player injuries or similar issues, which can cause the team to lose its balance. And even though Arsenal has developed a backup squad that's just as good, it's never the same as the main players.
However, in the new season, with several new players acquired in the transfer market, I'm quite confident Arsenal will start dominating again at the start. I'm not sure how that will go. Nevertheless, I hope Arteta succeeds in the new season.
