After winning the FA Cup last season, Arsenal didn’t expect to be in the middle of the Premier League table for much of this campaign.
They wanted to build upon the FA Cup win and strengthened their team with the likes of Gabriel Magalhaes and Thomas Partey.
However, this has turned out to be a poor campaign for them and they now risk ending up outside the European places.
They have been eliminated from the domestic cup competitions and remain 12 points behind the top four.
Finishing this season with European football might only be achieved if they win the Europa League.
The Athletic computed the Premier League table for the rest of the season and it does look bleak for the Gunners.
Using metrics like the xG for and against, the report arrives at a final table that sees Mikel Arteta’s side finish the campaign in 9th position.
This is not what the fans would have imagined at the start of the season.
They will face Olympiacos next in the Europa League. The Greeks eliminated them from the competition last season and they will be keen to avoid another shocking outcome.
Yes, not what we had imagined at the start of the season but truth be told, this is our reality now… We are at best a middle table team for now.
Arsenal is PROGRAMMED BY CORRUPT FA they alwaws know where are arsenal will finish every season.Because the computers are the referees and VAR.
What a childish post!
What do mean by saying a childish post
We wouldnt be in the mess we are in if Arteta was a mature manager. Early in the season we were struggling upfront and he completely refused to play arguably the best playmaker in the premier league (Ozil). (Still waiting to hear why). He has a solid defender (Saliba) in his ranks and sends him out on loan. No player has a bigger engine than Guendouzi and he sends him away. Nketiah vs Balogun (no contest). We dont know our first 11. Every game has a different line up. Etc etc
Am glad to offer a comment here about Arsenal FC.
The key issue is the performance level of the midfielders such as lacazzetes, William let one starts and the other one could be as substitute.
The 2nd issue is about the line up that does not match by other players creativity and sharpens.
Arsenal problem lies on board buy timing and squad that dosen’t last for than a season.SMMZIE
