Arsenal played really good football there is no doubt about that but is this sustainable. I mean it looked like they were playing like a team that would be fighting for the title, and let's be honest with each other , they haven't been a club that tried to get the league title for many years now, I do not know when was the last time they were there but it looks like they haven't been there for a long long time and I feel like it would be a difficult thing.
I am not going to lie, Arsenal look really strong, it doesn't matter if it was just pre-season games, but they moved the ball really well in all the games they played, they controlled possession, and most importantly they scored goals. The monopoly in the EPL is between Liverpool and City, and i don't think any team is prepared/ready/strong enough to break it just yet, but Arsenal might just take themselves above United, Spurs and Chelsea to become the third team amongst the big six, it is very possible, it can happen.
Having said that, some weeks back, i thought Chelsea was going to be the only team that would come close to City and Liverpool when the season starts, i know the transfer window isn't shut yet, but i am far from impressed with their transfer business thus far, they have acquired two brilliant players, but they aren't enough, Tuchel said the same thing i have been thinking in my head in his press conference after the Arsenal loss, they need to buy more players, they can stand City and Liverpool with their current squad, and there is Arsenal who have done so well in this summer window, they are buzzing and i am pretty sure Arteta can't wait for two weeks so the season kicks-off, they might just finish third, we also have to look out for them in the cup competitions, an FA cup and Carabao triumph wouldn't be bad for Arsenal.
