I have to say there is something that will get a lot of attention next year, which is Arsenal. They had two seasons in a row where they almost won and yet still lost and finished second, this season they are going to end up with something that is much better and people are expecting them to win. Of course it is not going to end up with anything crazy, we are going to end up with something smaller, and we should consider something much bigger in the end.

I hope that we are going to end up with something much better, because seeing Arsenal end up winning would be superb fun and I do not think that it is going to be very good to see that competition. We need to see other teams win, look how the world cheered as Leverkusen won.

Yes indeed, I also expect Arsenal to getbetter results from the great efforts they have made over the past two seasons. After all, previously Arsenal were only good in the first half of the season, but near the end of the season tha tArsenal experienced a decline in performance and got badresults. But after that and starting a new season again, in fact Arteta managed to keep Arsenal good until theseason ended but unfortunately, Manchester City managed to thwart Arsenal to get the trophy. It is clear that Arteta really did a great job and effort for Arsenal and with the great effort he made, I hope Arsenal will be able to get the trophy next season.

Arsenal must put in more effort next season to win a trophy because they did not win a trophy previous season and attempted to finish second in the league; next season may provide them with a possibility to win the league if they perform better than they did last season. Artete is doing his best and is a nice coach; he will continue with them next season. I think if Arsenal can do something next season and buy players again to help them win a title, because two seasons now, Arsenal has not had the chance to win a title, and both seasons they have done well and thought they would win the league, but Manchester City doesn't want them to win. know space for them since man-city are better then them every season. Let's see if they can do their best next time and defeat Manchester City to win the title because it's only them standing in their way. However, I'm seeing that Chelsea will compete in the new season because before the league season ends, they try to win and get the opportunity to qualify for the Europa League, and now that they have a new coach, he'll want to show off his talent and win matches.

if Arsenal can't win the premier league next season, other clubs to try and win aside from Manchester City because if Manchester City win next season again, I don't think the league will be encouraging to watch again, and we won't get competitive in the league since every season people know that man-city will still win because know club that can defeat them in the league and win the tittle, am just hoping that Arsenal, chelsea, liverpool or manchester united to put more effort to get the premier league next season. but i know he won't be easy since manchester city are in the competition. Cool

Arsenal fans should just stop thinking that Arsenal will be at another level next season, I don’t see arsenal winning the league title next season, first of all, I want to ask, did Manchester City lose any of their players? Or did Manchester City sell out some players? I don’t see Manchester City selling out any of their key players and if Manchester City players are complete and no one was injured before the beginning of the season Manchester City will still win the premier league title, Manchester City squad is complete and no position that The team lacks and that is the first thing we should be thinking of before assuming that arsenal will win the title next season.

Arsenal has a good squad also but the squad doesn’t know how to get a well work done when it comes to winning the league, Arsenal has been making the same mistakes for more than 2 years now by allowing a small team to defeat them and give Manchester City a chance of winning the league, I don’t expect arsenal to win premier league title next season, they can win another trophy but you see the champion league and premier league title arsenal can not win it with that squad they have currently.

Arsenal have been at the top of the points table for two seasons in a row but at the end of the season they have not been able to hold on to that top position and in two seasons they have lost the title in a way that is hard for them to accept. Last season they lost the title to the same team and they also had a tough competition with Manchester City so they should work on the mistakes they made last season.  Last season they may have had injuries towards the end which prevented them from winning the title but this season they have had some poor performances in the middle of the season which has only managed to recover two points towards the end.

Arsenal made the same mistake twice, hopefully they won't make the same mistake a third time and the third time they will definitely be able to take the result in their favour.

So, what Arsenal experienced must be able to be overcome by Arteta so that it is easy to lose points in a match that could have been won. This season, Arsenal almost broke Manchester City dominance, but due to mistakes made in several matches, they were unable to surpass the points accumulated by Manchester City.
Arsenal biggest mistake was losing points to Aston Villa in two meetings. If Arteta were able to win one of these matches, Arsenal would have succeeded in lifting the EPL trophy. Arsenal's habit of often being inconsistent towards the end of the season must be addressed immediately. Arteta needs to maintain Arsenal performance so that they can appear consistent to win the title which has been postponed for the last two seasons.

Manchester City have get a lucky chance and dominate the premier league with peace of mind, and with that they received so much pressure from with their opponents, is just because of the opportunity that arsenal loses against one of their opponents that's what gives the Man City chances to have directly winning this season. But to be honest they'll be changes next coming season because Man City is going to face much challenges. Because I'm very sure that many of the teams will team up to stop Manchester city from winning the premier league they will competition between them and it will be tough.
Manchester City managed to extend their championship status in a row this season, with Arsenal defeat to Aston Villa at that time of course making Manchester City so free to win the championship this season, Manchester City managed to overtake Arsenal and Liverpool when the season began to enter the final stage and we can say that Arsenal defeat to Aston Villa was a great fortune for Manchester City at that time,this season, Manchester City is still able to maintain their consistency in winning even though they have continued to receive pressure from Liverpool and Arsenal throughout the season.

I am personally quite curious about the title competition next season whether Manchester City will continue to be able to maintain their championship status or even another team that will be able to break their dominance, because indeed currently several teams have made quite significant improvements to their squad and we can see that next season there will be a new coach's face who will handle rival teams.

It's difficult to say that considering how arsenal was always a flop in any season. It's boring to see how many people keep talking the same thing about Arsenal winning the EPL, yet it's been two decades and Arsenal has yet to win anything from the EPL and this is the truth. As long as Pep Guardiola is at city, nothing will change for sure considering how strong city under pep guardiola.

Pep is going to be Arenal's biggest challenge to winning the EPL these season but let's expect the minimum result from arsenal. It is better for us to achieve a minimal result rather than continually focusing on winning the trophy for the upcoming season.
I hope that people have lower expectations about the arsenal and they should have learned what happened last season. It gave them very important reason to expect nothing from arsena.. I'm still perplexed as to why everyone had such high expectations. They were never bored with this. The competition is just getting even tougher soon.

It's not only arsenal who is gonna strengthening their squad. So, a better preparation is totally needed by arsenal at this moment. Expect more competitive league to happen soon.

Now Enzo Maresca is the new hope for Chelsea, but if it recurs and doesn't work out according to Todd Boehly's expectations, so it is not surprising that Enzo Maresca will have the same fate as Mauricio Pochettino.

Yes, he is taking the helm at Chelsea from now on. It was an unexpected kind of move for most people as far as I can see. Because Chelsea has been mostly going for coaches with an impressive career.

We have seen big names managing this team very often. But in the recent years they also joined the current trend. They want to try different coaches than the usual. They tried Potter and Lampard but they couldn't get the result they expected. After Pochettino they want to rejoin this trend. However Boehly should know that it is better to be patient to get results. The first season might not be great, everyone isn't Xabi Alonso.  Tongue
Chelsea officially introduced Enzo Maresca as their new head coach. He replaces the position previously filled by the Argentinian coach, Mauricio Pochettino. Enzo Maresca's arrival from Leicester was also followed by a move in his coaching staff. Chelsea's decision to choose Maresca is thought to be because he emphasizes ball control and player positioning in his game. The next factor is that Chelsea signed Maresca as head coach, because last year he succeeded in bringing Leicester City promotion back to the EPL for the 2024/2025 season.
Can this guy really do something at Chelsea, we have seen mid coach doing so well with their team but when they come to Chelsea, then it becomes a story like Potter and Lampard, notably Lampard who did well with Derby County in the lower division but when he came to Chelsea he failed though his first season was great but after signing in the next season, he failed.
Quote
Maresca is expected to be able to suppress the players' egos, as we now know that Chelsea is full of young players. A tough task awaits Maresca, he is assigned to revive Chelsea so that they can compete at the top of the Premier League standings and of course can also compete in the Champions League. Maresca certainly knows that there are big demands on him to bring Chelsea back to glory. In the last two seasons Chelsea only finished in 12th and sixth positions in the Premier League.

Though like you said if he can actually suppress the players ego it will be good but he still has to try not to show any favoritism and try not to act big against them in other for him to have majority on his side because earning the team trust is the first sign of success and Potter failed in this .

Actually I don't get entirely get the essence of going for a mid coach though Chelsea is not the only team that went for a mid coach big names like Bayern Munich and Liverpool did just that.

While I still think maybe one or more of them may succeed, I think there will also be some that will fail especially if they fail to earn respect from their players and this maybe through showing favoritism to some players or trying to act big against them because thus has been among the key factor affecting mid coach when they are given opportunity to coach a bigger team While also the pressure to do well from fans still is another key thing.
Chelsea chose Maresca because they think Maresca has the ability to work and develop young players, including their star Cole Palmer. Meanwhile, to make Chelsea's wishes come true, Maresca brought his coaching team with him. Maresca has had quite good achievements in the Premier League. He managed Leicester City and succeeded in bringing his team to win the Championship Division or the second caste of the English League. Thanks to this achievement, Leicester will return to compete in the Premier League next season. In fact, The Foxes have only been relegated to the Championship for a season, and Maresca is making his first career in England. Enzo Maresca's performance with Leicester City made Chelsea interested in recruiting him. Chelsea needs a new manager to replace Mauricio Pochettino whose contract was terminated by the club.

I have a slightly different idea, Haaland is not the key factor that helped Man City win the championship. Erling Haaland is a small player in a big match, he always fails in the final.
EPL is tough because the elite and average club are competitive. Manchester City won the EPL title because Erling Haaland made good use of his goal scoring opportunities and also his teammates played a major role in game victories. Pep Guardiola arrange his strategy and every player played a role in accomplishing their targets, no one was left out. Erling Haaland is a top player and goal machine for Manchester City.
The Premier League is a league that is difficult to track who will stay at the top, because everyone plays very competitively, not only elite teams but mediocre teams also try hard to give the best to their fans, as happened yesterday with Manchester City being quite overwhelmed by facing Arsenal, they had to compete on the last point, even though in the end Man City managed to win the trophy, this proves that the EPL is very difficult to beat.

It cannot be denied that Haaland has a very important role in the Man City squad, he has managed to collect 27 goals this season and also 5 assists, as well as making himself the Premier League's top scorer and making himself a very difficult straiker for opposing defenders and the squad to block Man City also has good potential so it is easy for Pep to target the league trophy, because they have a good squad, and of course the club's good finances make everything feel safe at the moment.

Haaland is just a striker whose task is to receive the ball from his teammates and put the ball into the net. he was stuck when closely followed by opposing defenders. Haaland really won't become a legend. As we have seen it wants to become 'GOAT' like Messi and Ronaldo. Then there won't be any reason that can stop them from scoring. Even nearly half of the opposing players surrounded him. They all found a way to escape the siege and put the ball into the net. That is a key player of the team.

This season we have seen Foden do even better than Haaland, And without Haaland, Manchester City still has many other players who can score like him.

The gunners has got just two key areas to  invest in so they can win the Premier League Competition next season, possibly three key areas.

A killer striker who is ready to bang in goals for them, too many people say Victor Oshime but that would be a dead end for the Nigerian, I don't want him to end is career with a club like Arsenal but we'll see. They need a goal scorer who can give them 25 Premier League Competition goals in a season.

They'll also be needing a player to compete with Saka just if he is Injured again same way it was in the last two seasons when they should have won the Premier League. His absence really affected them.
Also a new midfielder for balancing just if Thomas Partey leaves Arsenal or gets Injured. No news right over his exit and that's great ahead of a new season. But maybe they should cash out from the sale to this Saudi Arabian Premier League Sides?

They do have enough depth in defense, and they was the best last season also as they had a good relationship with David Raya in that eighteen yard box. Jurim Timber back from Injury would also get his chance this new season.

However, next season, that will definitely change again because Man City is still a big club, with Pep as the coach, who of course there is no doubt about. However, the competition is getting tighter, even in the EPL the competition is currently very fierce, and even more so next season, there will definitely be many challenges they have to face. And not only that, it's the same in the UCL, because the toughest opponent, Real Madrid, also has Mbappe at the moment, so that will also have an impact on a much higher level of difficulty.

Mikel Arteta will not give up, he will keep striving for every season that comes his way and looking forward to surpass Manchester City. Gunners have gathered a whole lot of strength and we've watched them become favorites but end up not accomplishing their main goal. Arsenal are competitive and they're proving themselves worthy of winning the English Premier League but it all comes with shocking results.

Haaland his an excellent player and I will actually say that we are lucky to have a goal machine to be part of our squad, when Haaland came to the club is was unstoppable, he as gone cold this past few weeks, am sure we are coming back stronger next season. The best thing that have happened to haaland was the fact that he came to Manchester city and most of this clubs knows how to bread good players  who would have expected a beautiful player from dortmund.
Yes, it cannot be denied that Haaland is one of the best players in the world at the moment. And we know very well that the quality of his playing is no longer in doubt. But football is a club matter and will still depend on the condition of the other players. IN this season, Man City has had many weaknesses in the early part of the season and even in the middle of the season because many of their main players or their key players have suffered from quite long injuries. So, the squad doesn't seem that complete. This also influenced Haaland as a super goal scorer last season. because after all, he also has to get the best support from his back line.

However, next season, that will definitely change again because Man City is still a big club, with Pep as the coach, who of course there is no doubt about. However, the competition is getting tighter, even in the EPL the competition is currently very fierce, and even more so next season, there will definitely be many challenges they have to face. And not only that, it's the same in the UCL, because the toughest opponent, Real Madrid, also has Mbappe at the moment, so that will also have an impact on a much higher level of difficulty.

I disagree with you, Haaland is the key player who helped Manchester City to win the Championship for both seasons, Haaland contributed to the club last season that helped Manchester City to win their treble, I think we could have seen Arsenal win the Premier League title since last season if weren't for the contribution Haaland made to Manchester City. However, Haaland has won the Premier League top scorer for his two seasons at the club, we believe that he couldn't have won it without the support of his teammates.

It's very bad to think that Haaland was responsible for Manchester City losing the FA Cup final against Manchester City, Haaland is the striker and he was meant to score goals, if you complain about Haaland, what are you going to say about Nunez? Who missed numerous chances for Liverpool to win their games. Haaland is the best striker in the Premier League at this point, last season Manchester City won a treble, they eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League and nobody praised him for his hard work, and this season they failed to beat Manchester United in the FA Cup and got eliminated by Real Madrid, I don't have to hold anyone responsible for it because football is unpredictable.

If Haaland decides to leave Manchester City, I don't think they will be able to top the Premier League table, he has contributed to the club since last season, and I believe that Guardiola appreciates his hard work.
Of course Haaland is a key player in the Man City squad as you can see what he was able to achieve with the squad especially in his first season which was when they won the treble, like their first UCL. The fact that he’s been able to remain the league’s highest goal scorer after 2 seasons is one key indication of how important he is to the Man City team. I don’t understand why they majorly criticize players because they’re not able to help their team get success, like do you want him to kill himself.

 He does quite some work whilst at the opponent’s half and yes you can also credit the midfielders whi brings the pass for him. The FA Cup loss can’t be placed solely on him because it’s absurd as you can see the goals conceded were from defensive blunders and nothing more. ⁠The big name players on some days will sure be having bad days and you can see that with Nunez of Liverpool who’s heavily criticized.

 It’s not okay to compare Haaland to Nunez because Haaland is way above him in terms of performance and you can see that with the way they play in their various teams. Haaland does pretty much for Man City and I think his departure from the club will leave a very big gap there and for that reason you will see how much Pep appreciates him in the club and don’t want to lose him.

If we talk about this season, Haaland has experienced a slight decline in goal productivity. But that still doesn't make Haaland lose his place in the Premier League's top scorers. In the 2023/24 season, Haaland managed to contribute 27 fewer goals because last season he managed to collect 36 goals. So for next season Haaland has to improve his abilities, not only his goal scoring skills, he also needs to improve his dribbling skills because so far Haaland ball control is not very effective and you could say he is not very good at it. I know he is a specialist goal machine, but if he can add one more ability then his statistics could be much higher than this season and last season.
Haaland is a pretty good finisher when he is in front of the opponent goal, the ball that touches his feet and also his head seems to be looking for a goal to enter, after getting Haaland from Dortmund last season, Manchester City immediately charged Haalaand with the target of winning the Premier League and Haaland was able to answer it with the Premier League trophy and also the status of top scorer at the end of the season,  Haalaand's performance this season is certainly not as good as last season, although he managed to maintain his status as the top scorer, but many people now consider it a Flop of the Match when facing a big team in an important and crucial match this season.

What you said is true, because as a main striker, of course Haalaand must have quite complete abilities at the moment like Ronaldo and also Messi, but I think seeing his physique that is too long of course it is difficult for him to dribble like a player with a small and agile posture, I think you must know that Ibrahimovich also has difficulty in dribbling but he is still a dangerous striker with his physique Strong and the ability to get out of tight guarding, if you notice that all this time Haalaand has lost competition with strong defenders and even he has difficulty opening up space when being tightly tackled by reliable defenders such as Saliba and Rudiger, in my opinion Haalaand must be able to improve his ability to open up space and also break away from defenders who do have a strong physique and are also capable of guarding players one-on-one.

Erling Haaland is in the right team because Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola, was a team that was almost perfect in all games.
In the last two seasons, Haaland has been a goal machine but in the following seasons this will not necessarily continue when changes occur in the Manchester City squad. Haaland has not been proven as a top player when Pep is no longer the coach and KDB is experiencing a decline in his performance.
Proven to be a top player when he can help the team when everything changes.
Haaland his an excellent player and I will actually say that we are lucky to have a goal machine to be part of our squad, when Haaland came to the club is was unstoppable, he as gone cold this past few weeks, am sure we are coming back stronger next season. The best thing that have happened to haaland was the fact that he came to Manchester city and most of this clubs knows how to bread good players  who would have expected a beautiful player from dortmund. With how good and talented he his made everything easy. Change is constant so we can guarantee of his staying next season.  And the challenge is you can not always be the best  and Haaland still needs to work hard to mentor that position and the young man as a target and for him to accomplish it he has to work very hard. And see that sometimes Harland is a dependent play needs assist to deliver. But if you look at it that was the main purpose he was purchased to score more goals.

Now Enzo Maresca is the new hope for Chelsea, but if it recurs and doesn't work out according to Todd Boehly's expectations, so it is not surprising that Enzo Maresca will have the same fate as Mauricio Pochettino.

Yes, he is taking the helm at Chelsea from now on. It was an unexpected kind of move for most people as far as I can see. Because Chelsea has been mostly going for coaches with an impressive career.

We have seen big names managing this team very often. But in the recent years they also joined the current trend. They want to try different coaches than the usual. They tried Potter and Lampard but they couldn't get the result they expected. After Pochettino they want to rejoin this trend. However Boehly should know that it is better to be patient to get results. The first season might not be great, everyone isn't Xabi Alonso.  Tongue
Chelsea officially introduced Enzo Maresca as their new head coach. He replaces the position previously filled by the Argentinian coach, Mauricio Pochettino. Enzo Maresca's arrival from Leicester was also followed by a move in his coaching staff. Chelsea's decision to choose Maresca is thought to be because he emphasizes ball control and player positioning in his game. The next factor is that Chelsea signed Maresca as head coach, because last year he succeeded in bringing Leicester City promotion back to the EPL for the 2024/2025 season.

Maresca is expected to be able to suppress the players' egos, as we now know that Chelsea is full of young players. A tough task awaits Maresca, he is assigned to revive Chelsea so that they can compete at the top of the Premier League standings and of course can also compete in the Champions League. Maresca certainly knows that there are big demands on him to bring Chelsea back to glory. In the last two seasons Chelsea only finished in 12th and sixth positions in the Premier League.

I have a slightly different idea, Haaland is not the key factor that helped Man City win the championship. Erling Haaland is a small player in a big match, he always fails in the final.
EPL is tough because the elite and average club are competitive. Manchester City won the EPL title because Erling Haaland made good use of his goal scoring opportunities and also his teammates played a major role in game victories. Pep Guardiola arrange his strategy and every player played a role in accomplishing their targets, no one was left out. Erling Haaland is a top player and goal machine for Manchester City.
If we talk about this season, Haaland has experienced a slight decline in goal productivity. But that still doesn't make Haaland lose his place in the Premier League's top scorers. In the 2023/24 season, Haaland managed to contribute 27 fewer goals because last season he managed to collect 36 goals. So for next season Haaland has to improve his abilities, not only his goal scoring skills, he also needs to improve his dribbling skills because so far Haaland ball control is not very effective and you could say he is not very good at it. I know he is a specialist goal machine, but if he can add one more ability then his statistics could be much higher than this season and last season.
