Arsenal get bads result in the UCL after it was unable in winning the game against bayern munich. Arteta needs to work even harder in order to keep the team has a chance to avoid being trophyless this season.
We have to watch until the end of the season and in fact I think we have to follow until the last week of the Premier League to see who will be the champion. Arsenal have the opportunity to make up for their mistakes last season, where they failed to win the title because they declined towards the end of the competition which paved the way for Manchester City to retain the title.
This is what makes it difficult to play against weaker teams as the weaker teams know that the time of the big teams having all the patience in the world is over. They can't accept a draw and lose two points in the fight for the Premier League trophy.
So when the half time is approaching and the top team is not yet leading, nervousness will arise and become an issue during the second half. Everyone knows these games when ball possession is high, some shots hit the post or the cross bar and then you also get the message that the competitors took the lead in their games.
This is what makes the Premier League special this season. Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have about the same difficulty for the remaining schedule. This means it will be about focus and efficiency. No number of chances in the world will win them the title if they don't convert them into goals. Some exciting last weeks to look forward to in this league. It is not quite the same in the Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and even La Liga is pretty much over.
