No matter how good a football team is, and after shipping three goals to Leicester City despite claiming all three points on Friday I am not sure we can say that Arsenal are all that good just yet, the Premier League is one of the toughest trophies in the world to win and if there are teams and squads better than you then it is almost certain you will not win it.
That is why a lot of Arsenal fans and pundits in the football media were so hard on Arsene Wenger and the Gunner s a couple of years ago, because with all the big clubs like Man City, Chelsea and Man United having a nightmare season in transition it was arguably the best chance Arsenal will get for years but it was Leicester that took advantage to be crowned shock EPL champions.
This season the big boys already look like being strong and especially Jose Mourinho’s Red Devils, who totally blew away West Ham on Sunday. Not only did they carry on their defensive solidity from last season, keeping a clean sheet against the Hammers, they answered the doubts about the other side of their game by netting four times, with summer signing Romelu Lukaku getting a brace on his EPL debut as a United player.
Surely this will have sent a big warning shot across the bows of their Premier League rivals, but will it persuade Arsene Wenger that he needs to improve his options at Arsenal before the transfer window closes?
