Former Liverpool legend turned pundit Graeme Souness believes that Arsenal squandered the opportunity to win the Premier League title last season, but he commends them for overcoming that setback and using it as motivation for improvement.
Souness highlights that at this stage of the previous campaign, Arsenal began dropping points against teams they were expected to defeat, allowing Manchester City to mount a successful title challenge.
The collapse came as a surprise to many, given Arsenal’s strong start to the season and consistent form throughout much of the campaign. Souness attributes this setback to a lack of experience on Arsenal’s part.
However, in the current season, Arsenal has shown significant improvement compared to the same stage of the previous campaign. Souness is impressed by their progress and how they have addressed the issues that plagued them last season.
He writes in the Daily Mail:
“I am a closet fan of Arsenal. In my professional time they are always a club that oozed class.
“They did bottle the title race last year, there’s no other way of putting it, but they look richer for the experience now. They’re showing no nerves even if they are not on top in a game, they’re playing with freedom and they have quality all over the pitch.”

Whatever could be the belief that is being believed. Let it be believed.
But what I personally have believed and is still believing. Is Arsenal will reach stardom this season. And be there as winners of both the Epl and Ucl titles.
Why dony you SPEAK ONLY FOR YOURSELF Gunsmoke and not for me!!
I told you on another thread earlier today that I like SAMUELS enthusiasm and I fully support his many posts even though many of then are extremely optimistic.
But far better that, than being relentlessly negative, like some on here are.
SO NOW PLEASE STOP trying to predict what I will say as you have not the faintest idea how I THINK .
I do, by the way,,think YOU among all fans are an oddity in NOT using our players actual names but identifying them only through nationality and their size!!.
So as we are poles apart, stop and right now too, from using my name in your posts to other fans. Especially to SAMUEL, who has Arsenal close to his heart all the time , to my approval too.
Yes we’ve learnt from last season, and i believe we are winning the PL tittle.
