Arsenal have experienced ups and downs this year, and last season they could only cross the line in eighth place, missing out on European competitions (even the UEFA League). At the beginning of this season, he also lost three consecutive times, and once ranked at the bottom of the league table, and the record was quite humiliating. However, after a period of pain, Arsenal's record has finally shown signs of recovery, and now it is temporarily in fourth place, and the state seems to be more and more courageous.
The transfer window was successfully invested
This season, Arsenal have spent over £100 million expanding, signing goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu, centre-back Ben White, left-back Nuno Tavares, midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga and attacker Martin degaard Among them, Ramsdale and Fuan Jianyang both played in the team, and each became the main force of the team. The remaining four, while not outstanding, are also steady and young, and Arsenal's investment in this summer's transfer window is also a success.
Young new blood to support the field
Moreover, a group of young youth players have also successfully played at a good level, such as the left-wing Bukayo Saka, who is already the main force of the team and the Three Lions, and his breakthrough, simple and direct play has been successful. Smith Rowe is also a midfielder of the team, and his running momentum and ability to press sweeps in front of the field are also the first points of Arsenal's counterattack; if his offensive skills can be refined, the future should be bright.
The center issue remains to be resolved
However, the centre-forward issue is the most important thing for Arsenal to solve, because "former captain" Aubameyang will almost certainly be forced away by Arsenal after being stripped of his captaincy in public. The big brother, who earns £375,000 a week, has been worse off in recent seasons, and there have been frequent empty shots. However, Arsenal seems to be reluctant to renew the contract with the well-behaved Alexander Lacazette, which has delayed the resolution of the center problem. I believe that Arteta's wishful thinking was to sign Tammy Abraham in the summer, but Chelsea eventually sold Tammy Abraham to Rome; but there are still centre-forwards such as Lewin and Ollie Watkins on the market (Vlahović is Arsenal's favorite, but this transfer should be "Xiang Wang has dreams, goddesses have no heart"), it seems that Arsenal will make a reinforcement in this position.
Arsenal's big problem this season is that their performance against strong teams is not convincing; whether they face Chelsea, Manchester City or Liverpool this season, their scores and game scenes are completely compared, and the team's "strong is soft" characteristics are fully displayed this season. Arsenal have a certain gap between the competition and the great powers in midfield, which is also what Arteta must improve if he wants to win the top four this season.
