Currently, what I think about Arsenal is that they do have a winning mentality, because if Arsenal did have a winning mentality like other big clubs in the Premier League competition, seriously, I'm very sure Arsenal would have won the league title because many seasons have come and gone and Arsenal always shows some sign of getting the title, but at the end of the day, they always disappoint their fans for the match that they lost to Aston Villa. I’m very sure if I were to say they are keeping up with their performance and their quality is always accurate, they would have won the match and probably would have won the title this season, but Arsenal lost to Aston Villa by 6 points straight, which is too bad for them.

Not just Mikel Arteta, the fans, the staff's and management who trusted and backed him up last season even previous season when he couldn't win the Premier League they still went on to back him up solidly.
Though, Mikel Arteta was responsible for the squad selection ahead of every game they played. They couldn't have done it better all alone.

Shout out to David Raya and the rest of those defenders, I'm not a fan but I watched good football week in week out whenever I saw them games. Who/What is Shakti? 

They have weakness, they need to get a backup player for Saka same way they had for Gabriel Martinelli and they need another hungry goal scoring player who can give them 20+ Premier League Competition goals and more. The defense has done great, they also have Jurim Timber kicking and itching to play after returning back from Injury. They seriously needs a midfielder and attacker.

Yes, it's true that improving that mentality is very important in every team, especially at the moment at the end of the season when the opportunity to become champions is right in front of your eyes, but instead they fail because of a lack of belief and self-confidence so that in the end they fail. In fact, Arsenal could have become champions if only they had not lost to Aston Villa could have gotten the full three points from that match but instead lost points, Arsenal always experienced defeat at the end of every season because the players' mentality was not very strong so they did not look consistent and ready to become champions.

But I believe that Arteta will get it next season, why is that, because I believe he will learn from previous failures which he must improve on, the match at the end of the season is much more important because it always determines the final result, Arsenal must focus more on the end of the season if next season they play consistently, apart from that Arsenal also need several new, more productive players to be able to compete next season which will of course be much tougher than this season.

The first leg defeat was even understandable because Aston Villa was on form and are yet to lose any match at home for long, since Arsenal defeated them at home 4-2 a season before this one, they always win their home matches, and we were expecting Arsenal to the same in the firs leg, but as Arsenal was defeated, I understand but never expected the second leg defeat at Emirate stadium, and that was the match that gave Manchester City the hope of winning the league because they knew Arsenal are also capable of winning their last matches because of what happened to them last season.

Arteta is still learning because he caused the team some points due to his selflessness during substitution; he like playing Harvertz even if he i tired instead of bringing in a natural striker to support the team. Nevertheless, they had another wonderful season I must say, they just need to step up and win the League next season.

I always believe that a team should give its coach a good amount of chances and time. One season is never enough to tell the truth. 

Because there have been important examples proving my point. Klopp didn't have a good placement for a few years after joining Liverpool. But the board still continued to give him time. What happened later? He started with a Champions League trophy and later we saw more titles including a Premier League one.    You just need to trust your coach as much as possible.

From here we are going back to Boehly's decision on Pochettino. Only one year and sacking after... I'm afraid this is a poor way of situation management.

This season of the English Premier League has already ended and Manchester City has become the champion of this season. Arsenal came very close to winning the title but luck didn't favor them at the end as they finished the season in second place. Last season we saw Arsenal lose the English Premier League title to Manchester City and this season we also see Arsenal lose the title to Manchester City very close. Next season maybe Arsenal will start the season afresh with the hope of winning the title again but they have to be serious from the beginning because if they lose points in the first few matches then the difference of points that is created later this gap cannot be recovered by the end of the season. Good luck for next season, hope Arsenal do well next season.

Arsenal are having a very tough season. After they experienced failure in the previous season and City became champions, the same thing also happened again this season. I agree with you that Arsenal has a good defence. But if you look at the number of goals scored, I think Arsenal's attack is also very good. They have been very productive this season with 91 goals. I think Arsenal was really unlucky to lose some important games. Arteta should not have many changes next season. I haven't heard any news about the transfers that Arsenal will make in this transfer market.

What the hell are you talking about? Arsenal has lost the title race against manchester city. They can try that again next season. were you even watching football before? it seems like you never watch it then try to post here with your assumption if arsenal is still in the race to get EPL trophy.

This is gonna be a bad news for Manchester United considering the fact that bruno has been  an important player player owned by manchester united. He would be leaving from the club after this season according to this report but we are all aware of how precarious the club's future is. INEOS had not even decided whether to keep or fire Ten Hag from Manchester United.
According to report that came from 90min Bruno's agency is in talks with various teams about a potential move away from Manchester United and this may be surprising a lot of people considering how loyal bruno to the manchester united. It's going to be real, and how sad all of the United fans are. I consider Bruno Fernandes to be a iconic player of Manchester United player this time and there will be no player who can be as good as him in united.

It feels like something will be missing if he isn't on the squad and this is what im thinking if he is gonna leave from manchester united. Do you believe he will quit Manchester United? Personally, I am concerned that his situation at Manchester United is not improving considering bruno needs to improve his career as well.
Bruno must have departed Manchester United to improve his future prospects in the new team but i hope he can do U turn to stay in manchester united far longer than this time. I still hope he stays with the club for a longer period of time but given how bad INEOS is, I doubt it will happen to him even for ten hag as a coach which was always favoring him as his important player in the squad.

If everyone could understand what was the cause of Arsenal failure to compete in the EPL, they would definitely say that the strategy for maintaining consistency was very bad and this happened in every EPL match when they also had to compete in the UCL or in other competitions and worse, Arsenal always appeared impressive at the start. season and at the end of the season only.
anyone realizes that Arsenal already has quality players and also has a reliable coach, but why does Arsenal always lose consistency when it comes to dividing the schedule with UCL matches? and I will answer that Arsenal needs a coach who can really rotate players well and maintain consistency so as not to lose points in EPL matches and focus more on the UCL.

from what I see actually if Arsenal does not lose points in several EPL matches or more precisely to hold a draw in every match that they are unable to win, it would be better to get 1 point which looks more stable than having to lose points in several matches.
we'll see, whatever time Arsenal succeed in winning the EPL title, they will definitely look more consistent from the start of the season to the end of the season.
Arsenal only weakness is that they don't want to learn from other teams how to get the EPL title and all the teams that have managed to get the title have always been able to maintain consistency since the start of the season.

Pochettino committed to the deal when he signed his contract to lead Chelsea for several years but bad things happened at the middle of his journey in the blues. Things changed after Pochettino became aware that there was something wrong with his team considering that he was only developing any players that given by the management and owner. This is why he told the management to recruit players according on his preferences, but Todd Boehly as chelsea's chairman, refused his suggestion.
This is why Pochettino decided to cut ways with Chelsea, citing the chairman's difficult aim for him to deal with. I'm even dubious that Maresca will stay for a few years. He may be departing the team in the middle of this season. Todd has engaged in pure gambling. Maresca will be only used as a way to develop the yung talent to be sold for a high price. Todd is a very stupid owner.
He assumed that pressuring the coach to meet that aim with the players chosen by the management and him would be extremely beneficial to the club, but he was completely mistaken. This is another setback for Chelsea. Todd sounds like a dictator.

Mikel Arteta's mastermind is why Arsenal team has been able to perform so well this season. Arsenal's players continued to compete for the title until the last match of the season. Arsenal's defense and attack were both very strong. Shakti scored 91 goals in 38 matches. And conceded only 29 goals. Arsenal had the strongest defense in the Premier League.

I can't find any weakness in the Arsenal team. However, Mikel Arteta will certainly look to strengthen his squad. I'll be happy if Arsenal keep their defense intact. Because the defenders have performed very well this season. Arsenal management could make some changes in their midfield and attack and strengthen the attack a bit more. But I don't think we'll see too many changes to Arsenal's squad this season.

Arsenal in the last two seasons turned into serious title contenders for Manchester City and even the two teams compete quite fiercely with only a narrow difference in points, Arsenal have transformed into a fairly strong team after in the last two seasons they spent a lot of money in strengthening their squad and the combination of senior and young players actually makes every Arsenal line quite even,  But when Arsenal were able to perform quite well, unfortunately they also experienced a little inconsistency in the game, especially when facing teams that were actually below the Arsenal level, when Arsenal managed to destroy Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and hold Manchester City, but Aston Villa and Fulham became stumbling blocks for Arsenal.

Seeing Arsenal performance this season certainly gives great hope for Arsenal to be able to compete next season in the race for the title, but Arteta still has to slightly improve their squad for the better, especially building and strengthening the mentality and consistency possessed by Arsenal in winning every game next season.

Arsenal were one of the best performed teams in this season, unfortunately they were unable to lift the trophy due to a few mistakes they made but nevertheless I believe what should have to be their concern now is how to do better this coming season. If they are smart enough just at the start of this season were most clubs are trying to stabilise their team as a result from signing of new coaches and players which they will need more time to blend and settle for a better performance, Arsenal should make use of that opportunity to accumulate more points. If Arsenal is unable to carry the Premier League this coming season then probably in the next 4 years they might not get the opportunity to compete for it.

If the conflict is like that, it will be very difficult for all expectations to become champions to be achieved easily, because the owner has one of the powers in managing his club while the coach has a way and how to make a strong and solid team in making his strategy.

Until whenever it will be a very difficult plan if the coach is not given more power in carrying out his strategy to bring in the players he wants, for the plan, this becomes difficult because the coach needs to adapt again and again then the coach must be able to take advantage of the abilities provided by the club owner, of course it is not an easy thing, I can imagine if I have the players I want and plan a certain strategy because of course I know that the squad I built is based on calculations of abilities that I can be responsible for, Pochettino and Tuchel are victims in cases like this, it's quite sad for me.

The club owner should let the coach choose the players he wants to be in line with the hopes of becoming a champion, this difference in thinking will make a club turn and decline, it appears that Pochettino has the ability even though only at the end of last season he could show it at the end of the season by improving Chelsea's position in the standings.

Arsenal need to prepare well. If Arsenal can win one of these matches, then maybe they will succeed in winning the EPL this season. Arsenal's title race has presented hugely exciting competition over the last two seasons. And Manchester City forced to hold it. Next season the players must improve their mentality

It's pretty much the same as what happened to Tuchel caused by tuchel faced the same fate like pochettino in chelsea. Chelsea opted to fire him once Todd acquired the club caused by the disagremeent between todd and tuchel. I've heard that the main issue is a philosophical disagreement between the owner and the coach. AFAIK, Tuchel did not want his club to be controlled by the owner.

He has demanded access to the players' transfers and other club-related information. Todd denied it, prompting his dismissal. This is also similar to what happened with Pochettino caused by i was always seeing chelsea manager was always requesting the club to give premission to choose the players to be bought. I've heard that if Pochettino became irritated because the owner was dictating the players' transfers and it makes him feel no confidence with it.

Todd Boehly did not give the coach permission to choose which players to buy and pochettino was getting upset with him. This is also causing a conflict between him and Pochettin. That is why Todd chose to fire Pochettino and replace him with someone capable of following his orders for the club.

There's no surprise here.

The defeat to Aston Villa in two legs made Arsenal minus six points in those two matches. If Arsenal can take advantage of one of these matches by winning, maybe they will be successful in winning the EPL this season. Arsenal has presented very exciting competition in the last two seasons in the race for the title, Manchester City is forced to work hard to maintain its dominance in the EPL. Arteta must learn more from their two consecutive failures, next season he must improve the players' mentality and consistently maintain their performance to make up for the failures of the last two seasons.

This season we see that Arsenal's strikers have contributed less in scoring goals. To face next season, Arsenal must be active in the transfer market to look for a new striker. As reported, Arsenal are interested in bringing Benjamin Sesko to the Emirates Stadium. Sesko's sharpness attracted the attention of two Premier League clubs. Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly interested in the striker's services. But it seems Sesko has already decided which club he wants to play for next season. He is interested in joining Arsenal.

 The reason Sesko decided to join Arsenal was because the Gunners project was considered more attractive than MU. This is because in the last two years, Arsenal has begun to develop into a serious title contender. In the 2023/2024 season, the Gunners almost came out as champions. Sesko wants to help Arsenal win the Premier League next season. So he thinks Arsenal is the right club for him. Moreover, next season Arsenal will still be competing in the European Champions League. An elite league in Europe that can attract players to want to join clubs that participate in the elite European League.

Chelsea management have been very poor with most of their decisions since their current owner Todd Boehly took over the ownership of the club and I don't even expect the club to get better anytime soon with the way the club's management make obvious mistakes with the most vital decisions. At first, when Boehly took over the club's ownership after the former owner Roman Abramovic was forced out of the club by the British government, he sacked Thomas Tuchel few months after he helped the club win the UEFA Champions League title. Though Chelsea were struggling at that moment, but I think the German manager deserved more time to rebuild the club. After that, Graham Potter was appointed as the club's manager when other experienced managers were out of job at that moment but the club owner opted for the former Brighton manager. The decision to appoint Potter didn't end well for the club because his performance with the club was very poor.
Last summer, Mauricio Pochentino was appointed as the club manager of which he did his best to finish in the 7th position of the league table. I was expecting Chelsea owner to allow him remain at the club beyond the end of the current season so he can continue his progressive rebuilding of the club but surprisingly, he was sacked again. Let's keep our fingers crossed and see if the club will allow the newly appointed manager to succeed

Honestly I would like to sound just like that.    Because I wasn't supporting the idea of sacking Pochettino. In general of the season, I agree that he wasn't successful. But if you noticed, there was a significant betterment in the results in the last part of the season. Chelsea collected many points which helped them qualify for the Conference League at least.

While your manager is strengthening the bond with the players and getting better results, why would you decide to sack him? It was so meaningless in my opinion and I hope they become patient with Maresca at least.
