Champions League

Arsenal still stand a very good chance of lifting silverware this season

Arsenal is still very much in the Premier League title race, and they have also qualified for the Champions League round of 16. The Gunners have made significant progress this season, and their aspirations of ending the campaign with a trophy remain alive. At the moment, they are on track to achieve that goal, and supporters are hopeful that Mikel Arteta’s side can secure silverware this term.

However, Arteta knows that his team must perform better than they have in previous seasons if they are to lift a trophy this year. While Arsenal has shown much promise, they face considerable challenges along the way, particularly in the Carabao Cup. Having lost the first leg of the semi-final at home to Newcastle United, Arsenal now faces an uphill task to progress in that competition.

Arteta is well aware that winning a trophy would not only be a reward for the hard work and progress shown throughout the season but would also help justify his continued time at the helm of the club.

Currently, Arsenal is chasing Liverpool in the Premier League, with the Reds leading the race. As for the Champions League, several other teams are considered stronger contenders, and the Gunners are not viewed as one of the favourites to win the prestigious competition. Nevertheless, Arsenal has shown they are capable of competing at a high level, especially in Europe.

A major challenge for Arteta’s side has been the injuries to key players this season, which have hampered their ability to perform consistently and win games. Given the size and nature of their squad, it would be wise for Arsenal to focus on one competition to avoid overburdening their resources. Attempting to target both the Premier League and Champions League could stretch the team too thin, so a more focused approach could help them secure a better chance at one of those trophies.

  1. And you would think we are down and out depending on where you get your news.

    Arsenal needs to gather their mental strength as opposed to getting a striker, only then will our final rattle prove hard to withstand

  2. The probability is very low:
    – our history in CL is not that great and we are yet to play the usual Juggernaut of CL. Though we might get lucky with the seeding but I don’t see us past semi final
    – Liverpool has to loose 3 games, which means we have to be perfect in our remaining games. Don’t see that happening. We blew it everytime we had a chance to close the gap.
    – 2 goals down in Carabao cup and playing at st James part: we have to atleast score 3 more goals. Not impossible but hard task to do

  3. Prayersfully and hopefully, the Gunners will next Wednesday night spank the Magipies very well. And reach this season Carabao Cup final. And possibly play Spurs at Wembley in a NLD Carabao Cup final match ever. Interesting! Wouldn’t it be? And Arsenal of course lifting the Cup for the first time in over 2 decades
    that will a very sweet honey for us Arsenal to lick after us not licking it for years.

  5. Why leave everything to chance when there was all the time in the world to plan for things?

    And a 100% support and passion is required of fans without it sounding a little abusive?

  6. To think of it, and if us Arsenal think of it does matter and count.
    Which new later signings have us heard tha Liverpool, our main title in rival team have signed.,in just closed water transfer window? I’ve not heard of any new addition they added to their squad. Which could advantage them against Arsenal in the title are as things stand presently.
    I think of Arsenaldid not suffer anymore injuries top their key players. Or suspensions that will force Arteta changes will/may impact tthe Gunners perforce negatively. And the Gunners won’t newcomer too much overconfident after they recently at home routed Man City 5-1 om the Epl. But mark us, this is at home at the Emirates not at the Etihad that we did it.
    Therefore, us Arsenal should heed to not prematurely think we ate there. Whereas we are yet to be there. But we will bee there ultimately if us remain focus and humbled ourselves top be there.

  8. Anything can happen, but we have almost no pedigree in European competition. We’re miles off the likes of Sevilla, let alone trying to compete with European giants such as: Liverpool, Bayern, Real, etc.

    It would be one of the greatest shocks ever if we won the CL this season…or any season!

    We have one foot out of door in the league cup. I cannot see us over-turning a two goal deficit at St. James Park.

    The only chance we have of catching Liverpool is if they start picking up injuries, specifically to Salah. Even if that happens, we need to go on a winning run as well.

    Chances of silverware:
    30% chance in the EPL
    25% chance in the League Cup
    1% chance in Europe

  9. Dicey regarding the league. Players are coming back from injury and the teenagers are doing brilliantly so far. Liverpool got off to a great start, haven’t wobbled and Salah is yet again proving his status as currently just about the best player in the world. It is as they say, Liverpool’s to lose.

    Carabao cup first leg was a disaster and an uphill climb now. Not impossible though but unlikely to produce a win as Newcastle have the home advantage to add to their lead

    Regarding the CL, much will depend on who gets through the play offs. I agree with the sentiments surrounding most of our previous forays but I think we are getting stronger- but not necessarily winning this year.

    The top4 trophy is looking good though 😊
