Honestly I'm still wondering why is Chelsea putting in so much effort on their keepers, they are not going to have only keepers play the game on the pitch for them and they may not even get to use all of the keepers so it's really a thing of concern why the much investment in goal keepers this season, it makes them appear like they have got almost not enough plans that is supposed to get them the much they will be expecting from the new season expect they are looking forward to recruiting a host of keepers who will be sold out later.

Until now I am still thinking about the reason why Chelsea continues to look for a goalkeeper and I had thought that Chelsea most likely really wanted to build a strong defense this season. But if that's the case, Chelsea last season was actually not a problem about bad defense but a slightly weak attack line since the beginning of the season even though at the end of the season Pochettino managed to bring Chelsea up to the top 6 but this season should not need to spend too much just on defense.
A little strange but I'm sure everything Chelsea is doing right now must have something planned that we don't know yet but for now the right reason is just to strengthen and prepare a defense that is ready in every competition that will be pursued this season.

Speaking of teams to win the league title and you included Man UTD (very laughable), Chelsea and even Tottenham? What is the assurance that Chelsea can even make it to the top 4 position of the log come next season? I don't want to say much about Tottenham Hotspur because we hardly see much from them and is like the pre-season games doesn't concern them in any way to rate their performance but I can say they may finish outside the top 4 like 5th or 6th but not Chelsea who have been all over the news with their poor defense and their poor selection of players in the transfer market. [...]

I'm not saying that's my opinion, that's all i got from the odds data at the bookies. Even with Manchester City & Liverpool, should we underestimate other teams? that doesn't make sense. Therefore we are still looking at their opportunities in the bookies, in my post i sort them from most favorite to least.

Didn't you see how Bayer Leverkusen were able to get their first domestic league title, they actually did it. So let's not underestimate other teams, it could be that next season Manchester United or Chelsea win the title, who knows?

Let's say we want to give Chelsea the benefit of doubt like they can carry the responsible of going for the title, how can they manage with these inconsistency and lack of form? They are not anywhere near better in terms of playing and Bayer Leverkusen was ready right from the beginning of the season and you could see how they manage each game get all 3 point without minding who their opponent was and you can't say that to Chelsea, fine we shouldn't underestimate any team but not with Chelsea, they haven't given us something to say they can try and also with Manchester United, they haven't been able to keep their house together and you say is winning the league title? No it can't happen but they can fight for the top 4.

If not that a lot of people are dangrading arsenal to some extent they are actually trying their best even if we are not getting the kind of results we want. If we are to rate them even their attacks are impressive even that of Manchester city, just that when arsenal plays against other team I just feel like they need to work more on their confidence. Point are always drawing us back. Arteta should have made a lot of observation to make better decisions this new season. And if arsenal fail to change our ways we are still going to still find it difficult to compete with the city, and if Manchester city should succeed in getting Rodrigo then how effort have to be times two of what we have been playing before. They are trying to strengthen things up. Alvarez abesence wont affect that much compare to Rodrigo filling for him. And pep is smart, I just hope arsenal will Go far this season at least we should be able to win the premier everyone will be happy.

Arsenal so far in my opinion is one of the clubs that many people hope to be able to overthrow Man City's dominance in the EPL, for the past two seasons Arsenal has only been one step behind Man City in terms of productivity. Arteta always tries his best amidst the limitations of player purchases that are not as aggressive as other clubs in the transfer market this season. Apart from Arsenal, there is Liverpool, but now this club is entering a transition phase with its new coach, so it cannot guarantee that Liverpool in the first season with Arne Slot will be able to continue the trend that Jurgen Klopp left behind. For that, in the EPL there is only Arsenal as a source of hope where we want the trophy not always to be won by Man City.

Why not mention Man United? Come on, let's know the quality of this club in Ten Hag's hands and the players are still spoiled and unproductive in terms of health. So I put Man United aside because they still can't be on par with Man City and Arsenal in terms of quality and quantity.

Because no matter how good Arsenal's squad is in fact there are clubs whose squad is better and for the EPL now the answer is definitely Manchester City.
In addition, we must also be aware that sometimes not only players are the benchmark in this case because we must be aware that teamwork and management in setting a good plan from the coach is always an added value to make a club a champion.

It cannot be denied that the Arsenal squad to date is still above average, especially since most of them are dominated by young players who have extraordinary talent. But to get the trophy is not as simple as imagined because they must be able to create stability in terms of players and performance in order to become a good rhythm to get a trophy in a competition and Arsenal still can't do that.

I agree with what you said in this case where although Arsenal played well but Manchester City until now played better and we certainly see that with the record achievements that Manchester City currently has, it is very evident that they are still the best in the EPL.

This is suspected from the presence of Pep as a very good strategy setter at Manchester City but that does not mean Arsenal do not have a chance in this case because their chances are still very much there, it's just that there must be several possibilities that occur if Arsenal want to become champions in the EPL, namely they, especially Arteta, must be able to strategize better than Pep or another possibility is that Arsenal must hope Pep leaves Manchester City because it is the brain of the slick performance that Manchester City is currently showing for Pep's work as a good scheme setter behind the wheel of Manchester City.

Arsenal squad is strong; they always start the season with impressive performance every season; they always be at the top early season, but at the end they are still failing to get the trophy, which is very bad. It's just like maybe the manager (Arteta) is still unable to find out the main problem that is making his squad weak at the end of the season or what makes their performance decrease anytime the season gets tough and interesting.

Because with their current squad, I don't see any weak positions. I think Arteta needs to change his tactics and see how the result will change because Arsenal is really trying, but we don't see it since they failed to bring the trophy home.

Autumn is strange to say that about a team that went the whole season without defeat, this record is unrivalled and they had the last match of the season left, there were many factors overlapping, but that's not what we're talking about now. Arsenal really played with confidence and I'm looking forward to seeing how they play in the EPL tomorrow, plus they have a lot to show judging by the form they showed in the pre-season game

The level of players in the Arsenal squad is a bit stronger and better than the players in the Leverkusen squad, and we have seen how it all end in their preseason match against Arsenal because the 4-1 defeat to Arsenal shows that the Bundesliga is not as strong as the Premier League because the second position team defeated a team that went undefeated last season to win the Bundesliga title. Nevertheless, I will be expecting a good performance for Leverkusen in the Champions leagues and the Bundesliga next season.

There is nothing wrong with Arteta's tactics, nor is anything inherently wrong with the team. Arsenal have just one problem, and that is Manchester City, the serial winners. Look at Arsenal's stats last season, it was unbelievable, but if you want to take the title from City you have to be perfect, and that might be asking too much from Arsenal.

Pep is out of this world, his hunger to continue pushing his team is unprecedented, Arsenal are edging closer to win the league every season, they get better after every season and learn new lessons, if they are "perfect" this season, then they will be champions after a very long time.

The victory over Leverkusen seems to have made Arsenal fans quite happy, but I hope they don't forget that the squad that Alonso fielded was not the main squad that won unbeaten last season, in that match Alonso only fielded a few of his main players so I think they didn't have good unity in facing the match, and goalkeeper Leverkusen, isn't he just a backup goalkeeper?
The game of both teams looked very good in that match and we admit that Arsenal were able to escape from the pressure that continued to be exerted by Leverkusen, Arsenal's attackers were able to destroy Leverkusen quite badly in the match.
In the Match, Jesus and Kai Havertz were able to score goals, but I hope that Arsenal will still they have to look for another striker now to support their goal productivity next season.
The friendly match can be a reference to see some weaknesses to be corrected, so Arteta should not be proud of this victory and instead focus on seeing their weaknesses before the league starts, in last season Arsenal had a pretty good team balance in defense, midfield and both wings, however In fact, they are not supported by a capable main striker and that it should be important note for arteta .

While I do agree that it was unbelievable what they did and I think it shows great potential for them, we need to keep remembering that we are talking about just a friendly game and that doesn't mean that they are going to end up being too great. I feel like we are going to probably see them do very well, and should not be considering the situation changing too much, it should be something that could make some profit if we are lucky, but that's about it and nothing more.

Even though it was a friendly match, I think I can still say that Leverkusen probably should have performed better. I have seen some people say that this might be an indication of Leverkusen not being able to perform as well as that date in the last season throughout this season. But I don’t think that is going to be the case. I think friendly match should not be taken as an indication of how a team is going to perform throughout the season. But yes the defense probably should have been better from Leverkusen. Or maybe they need to improve the defending lineup. Another reason could be that the other clubs are actually catching up to the tactics of Leverkusen. But these are some wild assumptions to make just after watching a friendly match.

I don’t think anyone is saying Arsenal is not trying their best. Everyone knows that arsenal has been playing well in the past few seasons, but what everyone needs is the result which they are not getting. What everyone is expecting from Arsenal is for them to win the Premier League title, not for them to keep on ending the season in second place. Arsenal are always playing well, but towards the end of the season, their performance is always dropping a little bit. They are always finding it difficult to maintain consistency from the beginning of the season until the season ends, which is the main problem they are having, and we all know that Manchester City is good at doing that.

Apparently Liverkusen wanted to start their new winning streak, but it didn't work out. In general, nothing terrible happened, both teams learnt some lesson from it. EPL matches will start tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow Arsenal will play their first match and I think it is very important to start the season with a win, not so much for the position in the standings, but for the morale-booster

Leverkusen almost broke history but on a norm, Arsenal is their mate. They had last season quite boldly in Bundesliga but they couldn't hold Atalanta down and lost the winning streak in the Europa League final and it was then I knew they are not as good as they are, if they should have won the final match and take out Atalanta that wasn't even having a good Place in their domestic league but this is a new season, let's see what they can play this time.

Arsenal has shown no sign of weakness, Arteta seems not to have cool down but the task ahead of this season might look hotter than last time because Guardiola lost FA cup and Champions League, the dominance to maintain the lead might come back to his head and who knows if there is going to be surprises later when the season begins.

Autumn is strange to say that about a team that went the whole season without defeat, this record is unrivalled and they had the last match of the season left, there were many factors overlapping, but that's not what we're talking about now.

City planned to get Rodrigo from Real to replace Alvarez, but I think that Alvarez's absence is not critical, he was not a key player in Guardiola's team, and by the way, this was one of the main reasons for his departure.

Currently both teams deserve to be favorites as challengers for the title next season, even though Arsenal performance has improved drastically in the last few years, we have to admit that Manchester City is still much better and more complex in every line compared to the squad that Arsenal have today, Arsenal last season could be said to be a team that had very high goal productivity but we cannot deny that they are still below Manchester City and we can see that Manchester City has 5 more goals than Arsenal, apart from that the main factor that makes Manchester City attack What's better is the presence of Haalaand in their squad who can continue to be a mainstay in the front line, in contrast to Arsenal who don't have a center striker they can rely on all this time, so to be able to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal should now be able to recruit a center striker who can Become a competitor for Haalaand next season.

Arsenal actually has a pure striker, but unfortunately Nketiah is not always consistent in scoring goals in every match. several other strikers, their job is not only to score goals, but also to create space for their teammates. that's why, the productivity of goals created by Arsenal does not only depend on one player. but the need for a goal-hungry striker is Arsenal's priority at this time, as we discussed, that Arsenal does not have a striker who is capable of scoring at least 20 goals in one season. as a comparison, Haaland can be the benchmark. this season Arteta and Edu are trying to bring in the striker they need, unfortunately until now there have been no concrete steps to bring in the striker that Arsenal needs. instead of deepening the defense line, the need to bring in priority players has not been realized. I do not deny that City still deserves to be mentioned above Arsenal, after all they have ensured four consecutive seasons at the top of the standings. I hope Arsenal can be better than the previous season, Arteta must strive so that Arsenal can compete more closely with its rivals, including Manchester City.

Manchester City's success in maintaining its dominance is not only due to players, but Manchester City is successful because of its coach.
Pep Guardiola and Arteta are very different, but the two worked together at Manchester City before Arteta coached Arsenal. Guardiola is much more experienced and better than Arteta, but that doesn't mean Artata always fails to provide competition and win titles for Arsenal.

Arsenal and several other teams are expected to be able to stop Manchester City's dominance next season. It is absolutely impossible to let Manchester City make a long history by winning 5 titles in 5 consecutive seasons, so Arsenal must try harder next season.

Arsenal's attack isn't quite as sharp as City's - Pep's years of tactical genius show. Arteta's getting there, but he's not at Guardiola's level yet. You're spot on about Nketiah and Vieira - they're not stepping up when it matters. Arsenal's solid at the back and in midfield, but they're missing that killer instinct up front. We need those clinical finishers who can change the game in a heartbeat

But listen, a 20-goal striker isn't the only solution. Saka's our top scorer, but look how many of those goals are penalties. Arsenal has a problem creating chances from open play. We need to tell Edu and Arteta to build a system that consistently produces goal scorers, not just buy one off the shelf

As for City, losing Alvarez is a blow, but Guardiola's a master adapter. He'll find a way to make it work. This season is going to be a tactical battle between the managers

I believe that was why Alvarez also left City because he is a second choice player and due to his quality and potentials he deserves to be among the first eleven of any club he is playing in. His departure will not affect City and since a replacement would be made that will not be any problem. Alvarez in Atletico will have the chance and opportunity to score as many goals as he likes since he is a starter there and that is what he wants and not being a sub-player.

Man, not again, and this is crazy. Could someone tell me how much money Chelsea spent on goalkeepers now? It's very obvious this team is not even working to be a title contender, and this is what Todd wanted. I guess Chelsea is having a plan to flip talents for profit. It's risky. But, it makes sense since they spent $100 million. They got 5 talents, compared to when they only bought 1 talent for the same amount. The ratio for Chelsea to lose money can be minimized, but this is crazy, you know. But this seems to me that if i think Chelsea is becoming a football talent management agency.

It's totally different from when Abramovich was still there. Chelsea had the ambition to be a top European football team then. But, it's all vanished under a new owner.

Rodrygo may realize that Manchester City is not his dream team, but that doesn't mean he won't do well at Manchester City. Pep Guardiola certainly has players he wants to bring in to replace Alvarez, but he will not force players who don't want to play for them. Rodrygo is not suitable for Manchester City, so Pep Guardiola will likely find an alternative.

There are many alternatives available on the market if Pep Guardiola wants to bring in a replacement for Alvarez, but in my opinion Manchester City actually needs a good midfielder to anticipate the injury-prone De Bruyne. Bernardo Silva is also not as good as he was a few seasons ago, so Pep must anticipate that as soon as possible.

Currently both teams deserve to be favorites as challengers for the title next season, even though Arsenal performance has improved drastically in the last few years, we have to admit that Manchester City is still much better and more complex in every line compared to the squad that Arsenal have today, Arsenal last season could be said to be a team that had very high goal productivity but we cannot deny that they are still below Manchester City and we can see that Manchester City has 5 more goals than Arsenal, apart from that the main factor that makes Manchester City attack What's better is the presence of Haalaand in their squad who can continue to be a mainstay in the front line, in contrast to Arsenal who don't have a center striker they can rely on all this time, so to be able to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal should now be able to recruit a center striker who can Become a competitor for Haalaand next season.

Manchester City having a player like Haaland is one of the reasons why Manchester City is more superior than arsenal because Haalaand is a player that scores goals for Manchester City consistently. Arsenal struggle to meet up with the standard of Manchester City because they do not have a player like Haaland. I know Arsenal have done very well in their performance in two seasons now, but for me i don't think the quality they have can be matched with what Manchester City have.

I just hope with the experience from the previous season it can make a good difference this season. One of the advantage of Manchester City is the experience they have in both players and the coach.

I cannot conclude that Manchester City's greatness is only about Haaland although indeed, I also admit that Haaland is very productive even though Haaland's productivity only occurs in the Premier League. But at least, the main factor Manchester City still managed to be consistent with good performance so far because of a great coach. Because anyway, when Pep Guardiola gets full support from the board and the team as a whole, then of course Pep Guardiola will really succeed in making the team impressive too.

Therefore, I can only assume that the factor of Pep Guardiola is still the most important factor about the success of Manchester City so far. After all, if for example Pep Guardiola leaves then I am sure, Manchester City will not always have a good chance like in the Pep Guardiola era. Thus, because Manchester City also still managed to keep Pep Guardiola, then whatever the composition of the squad Manchester City has, then I will still believe Manchester City will remain fine.
