Arsenal playing football as we know they can and actually managed to do against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday can be a thing of beauty. We have also shown some real spirit and defensive strength at times this season, but the question is how Arsene Wenger can make sure that his players produce these performances on a regular basis to give Arsenal any chance pf competing for the Premier League title?
When it clicks and you have the likes of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez in full flow but also functioning as parts of a well oiled machine, the Gunners have the ability to breach any defence and with a strong defensive line and midfield players who can control a game, there are the ingredients in north London to make a title winning team.
The squad also has strength in depth but you could say all this has been the case for years without Arsenal ever really getting close to being crowned champions, because there have always been games or even long periods when the Gunners have not produced anything like their best.
It seems to me that complacency and lack of focus regularly creep in and the boss must find a way to combat it. Perhaps strong competition for places in the first team will help and if it was me I would every now and then pull out a video of a game like Watford to remind the players what can happen if they slack off and make them recall how bad those times feel.
Do you think Arsenal can find the consistency we need to go with our current form?
