A very lucid analysis might reveal the factors that why Arsenal can
finish as the Premier League Champions,
trouncing Manchester City,
United, Liverpool and Chelsea in the process.
5) IN-FORM DEFENSE
After 16 matches in the league, Arsenal have conceded only 13 goals,
the second least after the Red Devils. Not only should Petr Cech be
appreciated but rather the whole back-line should be given credit.
Youngsters like Hector Bellerin are not only defending superbly but also
assisting players in the front line, thereby underlining his importance
once more. Koscielny and Monreal are also nursing the defense very well
just as you would expect from seasoned pros.
4) IN-FORM ATTACK
After eliminating all the big names from the team list, only Theo
Walcott and Olivier Giroud are the two eminent forwards left out, and so
far both of them have been absolutely stunning! Olivier Giroud has
already popped up with 9 goals in the Premier League and much more is
still awaiting for him if he can continue in this rich vein of form.
The duo is performing well enough to uplift their team in the absence
of the Chilean playmaker, Alexis Sanchez. On the other hand, Mesut Ozil
is performing as if he is a one-man-army. He fits perfectly in any
midfield position and is busy establishing himself as one the future
legends at Arsenal.
He has already assisted 13 times, holding the topmost position in the
assist table. He is doing well to hold the midfield in the absence of
Santi Carzola. He is being facilitated by Aaron Ramsey, another in-form
player.
3) THE GUNNERS HAVE SIGNED VERY FEW
However, United and Manchester City have signed too many. This might
be one of the crucial reasons that might lead to Arsenal winning it all
this season. LVG had signed Bastian Schweinsteiger, Anthoy Martial,
Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin and 3 others in the summer transfer
window, but none of them could shine properly.
Definitely, they will lack the willingness and budget to sign any
other player in the winter transfer window given we are all doubtful of
LVG’s long term future at United.
This will surely pave a way for the Gunners to sign the best in-form
players from all around the globe (cue all the jokes of how I have not
been following football since 2005).
2) SIGNING PETR CECH
Arsene Wenger did not sign a single outfield player in the summer
transfer window, infact their only signing was Petr Cech, the
33-year-old shot stopper.
Many Arsenal fans recognized it as a gamble, but it seems as if the gamble has really paid off.
Petr Cech has kept 7 league clean sheets this far, evenly matched with Jack Butland, Joe Hart and Heurelho Gomes.
1) THE ARCH RIVAL: SURRENDERING
It is pretty much clear that Chelsea, who were sure to defend their
title this season, are now recognizing the title defense as a dream.
They have already put their hands up. Manchester United are still coming
to terms with the madness of LVG and City are simply too inconsistent
without Aguero and Kompany. There simply cannot be a better chance for
Arsenal to put the marker in the Premier League this time around.
A FAN’S HOPE
I am not an ardent Arsenal fan but being a sincere follower of the
Premier League, I really want Arsenal to break their 11-year-drought and
lift off the league cup once more.
They might not be the favorites for the Champions League after
drawing Barcelona, but at least, they can manage to win the Premier
League.
