RE: English Premier League 2017 / 2018
Fellow arsenal fan. Can't share your assessment of the club entirely. We have one of the deepest squads, but experience massive breakdowns when key players are absent. If Sanchez and Ozil stay with the club, things are looking perfect in the attack: Walcott, Sanchez, Ozil, Welbeck and Giroud to draw on and vary as needed.
Our midfield, normally an arsenal strength, is not really balanced, it seems like we haven't sorted it out due to injuries. And Xhaka, well, maybe not a bust, but this next season he will have to show that he has changed his mentality and cease his yellow card/red card outbursts. Finally, an experienced centre back would be a nice addition to sort out depth problems there.
I won't make a prediction about the title other than that arsenal will not win it. Top 4 predict in no order: Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Tottenham.
I just have a feeling chelsea will win the title again.
yeah, not really sure that Arsenal have a deep squad. Once the top like players are out, the break downs occur because the players coming in are not up to scratch. For me there are a few players who statistically play when the team plays awful. Man City and Chelsea have greater depth, players can fill in and the team can still achieve great results.
The change in formation late in the season was a major reason for Arsenal's dramatic improvement in form.
the thing is, as we have seen we have become accustom to failure and glorifying it ... its always the same and to top it off this time, spurs are in the champions league ...
