Declan Rice thinks Arsenal were the best team last year and have learned from that collapse

Arsenal’s winning the 2023–24 league title will serve as a redemption story after they failed last season. Declan Rice in the Mirror has disclosed that the Gunners are still perplexed about losing the 2022–23 league title. However, he concedes that, based on his firsthand observations at the Emirates, everyone at the club has learned from last season’s disappointments.

While at the London Football Awards, the record Gunner signing couldn’t help but indicate that the Gunners have advanced to the next level. He told the Mirror: “I think last year, Arsenal were the best team in the league. They slipped up at the end and obviously, City always come on so strong. I think the word that they said now is that they can’t believe they lost the league obviously eight points ahead.

“This year, I feel everyone including the manager and the staff, everyone’s learned from their mistakes

Unfortunately, as of Match Day 26 of the league season, Arsenal is not at the top of the table. They are currently two points behind Liverpool, who lead the title race by two points. Obviously, this time around Arsenal are ‘chasers’, and if they did learn from how City pursued them down last season to beat them to the title, Liverpool will be in for an unpleasant awakening.

It would appear that Arsenal can only win the league title if they stay focused on themselves and maintain their excellent goal-scoring record as they play each game as if it were a final.

Premier League glory after a 20 year gap will be amazing for Arsenal fans, won’t it?

  1. If, as I expect, we beat both Sheff utd anf Brentford and Liverpool then draw at home to City, we go to City on top of the table, albeit only on goal difference!

    It is so close that the title could well be won on goal diff. Watching HOW all three rivals are winning their games, it must be said that Liverpool are winning far more fortunately and less easily right now, than us and City.

    It could all come down to who wins in our game at City. And for almost the first game up there in quite some years now, we genuinely compete on equal terms.

    1. I’m in agreement Jon. Feels like the game away against city at etihad end of this month will dictate the outcome of the title race. This season is gonna be particularly close.

    2. Arsenal are currently only a point behind City and 2 points behind the Reds. Hence, if as you said we win against both Sheffield United and Brentford while Liverpool draw their game with City, I think we should be ahead of City by one point by then, and not only on goal difference as you mentioned.

      Moreso, we should be topping the league by then if we still maintain our superior goal difference over the 2 teams above us presently.

      Or am I missing something on the point calculations?

  2. Would be so special if we beat both City and Liverpool enroute to the League win and as worthy Champions!! Would be very, very special, isn’t it?!

    We can’t expect to be champions when we can be scared by other teams no matter how good they are whether home or way!!

  3. If we win our game in hand then we will be two points from the top I’m also hoping that City and Pool draw their game I think all Gooners are But if there is to be a winner then we hope for City as we’re closer to them And then hopefully we know what we have to do when we go to play City away First we need to win each game before the bigger ones start to come
