It has been a mixed bag of results in the Premier League for Arsenal but in recent weeks they look to be improving. With so many players at the club wanting to move, the start of the campaign was always going to be hard to get the players to focus until the transfer window was shut. The 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool was a bitter pill to take but they have since recovered. The Gunners latest win against West Brom have given a glimmer of hope to the fans but they will need momentum on their side if they have any chance of mending the broken relationship.
The problems at the Emirates are not going to go away anytime soon. They are a big outsider to win the EPL and Free Bets UK sites are not seeing many punters take the plunge by backing them to win the title. The club has handled the player’s contract dreadfully and too many star men are been allowed to run into their final year of their contracts. The reason why Spurs are managing to close the gap is due to the excellent contract negotiations tieing their young star players down on new long-term deals. Both Sanchez and Ozil will be leaving at the end of the campaign or possibly sooner if a club comes in with a stupid offer during the January window. With players like Oxlade Chamberlain and Kieran Gibbs both moving in the summer it is one of the weakest squads in Wenger era.
The confidence of the player is extremely vulnerable and as we saw last season that playing at the Emirates can be a hostile place not just for the away teams. The fans are the most frustrated they have been in many years and if the Gunners suffer a couple of losses on the bounce it can make it an extremely difficult task to get the fans back onside.
Arsenal is now into 7th place in the EPL and if they do not find the momentum to go on an unbeaten run, it will not take them long to be out of the title race. If they drift too far off the top four places the pressure is going to get to a boiling point and something at the top will need to change. The Gunners are in a vulnerable place and will need to maintain along with improving their current form to compete with the others who are fighting to qualify for the Champions League.
Summer signing Alexandre Lacazette has made a great start to his Arsenal career and the club are going to find a number of others who can help fill the voids of all the players wanting out. The rebuilding process has only just begun and next season transfer window is going to be pivotal that they get it right. They were a mess during this summer’s window and missed a great opportunity to get the players they need. They can not afford to slip up a second time around and if they do not achieve Champions League qualification this time around it is going to make that task even more difficult.
