Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal had a tough year-end. From Round 9 to Round 14 of the 2020-21 Premier League, he won seven consecutive games. There are even 3 consecutive losses. Fortunately, the mood is recovering with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea. After the Chelsea game, he also won 2 consecutive wins against Brighton with a 1-0 victory.
Still, the mountain to be crossed is high. Arsenal is currently in 13th place. It is far from fighting for the right to advance to the European counter-fight. It is a ranking closer to the relegation than the top. Thus, Legend Parlor, who had been with Arsenal from 1991 to 2004, appeared on world-class sports radio and said, “They will not be in fourth place. Too lagging behind There are too many mountains for them to cross.”
“There are currently four better teams than Arsenal. In my opinion, 6th is best for them,” said Arsenal’s realistic best ranking. There is a reason. “At the beginning of the season, after winning the FA Cup, there were positive signs. Thomas’s party isn’t making it into the current team.”
“He’s going to make a difference in the midfield area. There will also be flexibility. But look at the competing teams. Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham are doing well. Chelsea will also get better when the injured players return. Leicester City and Manchester United. So it’s a difficult situation for Arsenal.”

Arsenal will play an away game against West Bromwich Albion (19th place) on January 2. After that, they meet Crystal Palace and Newcastle in turn. They are currently ranked similar to Arsenal. Palace is in 15th place and Newcastle is in 14th place. It means that even in one game, if you are crooked, you can fall further down. On the last day of 2020, where everyone will be happy, Arteta seems to be having a headache thinking about a winning strategy.
