⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Arsenal's defensive prowess deserves a balanced attacking effort to make the team more formidable to opposing teams, playing one famous tactic that every team expects on every game they're to embark with the gunner doesn't add a new meaning to the club's strength. Growing strong, the team will make more wins with a strong attacking formation than an all defensive tactic.

I think that what gave the English premier league title to arsenal this season was their solid defense, because their attack wasn't as productive like that of Manchester City. Historically it's been proven that good attack wins you games, but a solid defense wins you titles, which was the main reason arsenal won the title this season, because having the ability to win ugly, when they are not in their best form is their biggest flex over Manchester City this past season .

That's just it. Bad forward, lack of force and creativity, goal opportunities were also not always showing up, but somehow, they managed to do it till the end of the season and won the trophy. I just say that Arteta has surely created something very formidable at the backline. It has become so difficult for clubs to break through easily and score goals. I believed in Arsenal defense credibility the more after I watched them against PSG at the champions league finals. They are good there.

But then, one thing is very much needed. The fire in the forward. The have got players up front, but the creativity to do it right is really needed. Am sure it Mikel Arteta can sort that out before next season, they would be great contenders of more trophies again

[BitBakerr1]

I assume Arteta wouldn't like to make any significant change in his system. I don't even see the reason why he would do that. 

He has a great defense line which is helping him a lot on fighting for titles. However I would still expect him to make some moves to have a better attacking line.

Until when will he continue with players like Trossard, Martinelli? They should sign a winger who can make Gyökeres more fruitful for the team too.

Change is constant. Since the haram system gave them what they want last season, this will be time to increase the volume. Instead pf pure haram football. Arteta will include a touch of free flowing style which will be done with the recent signing for the club this summer. His defense is perfect, it can withstand any attack in Europe football. The wingers he need should be 1v1 wingers, especially a winger that will be a threat in that left side.

It is obvious Trossard or Martinelli will leave. One will remain who will be a back up winger for the main man that will be signed.

Arsenal will surely play a more interesting and beautiful football next season because their mind is now at rest since they have succeeded in winning the Premier League trophy and also went to the Champions League final even though they didn’t win it going to the Champions league final is a plus to them all this will boost their confidence for next season, I believe that Arsenal is going to lift the premier league trophy next season and possibly lift the champions league if they should sign important players, they already have good and solid defenders and a good striker.
Yeah what Arsenal needs right now is a very good winger so if they can get 1 good winger it will really help them a lot so he can replace Trossard and Martinelli but as for me Trossard should stay because his better than Martinelli.

[GiftedMAN]

I don't know why people also bothered about Mikel Arteta's playing style in the just concluded season, I think he played a style that really worked for him and he was able to win the premier league that the club had not won for 22 years and he also got to the final of the champions league and only lost on penalties.  We all know that Arteta can ball a very beautiful football, but it did not win him any major trophy,, so he played a style that won him trophy and people are complain and expecting him to change it, anyways I don't think he will change much from that style of play, he might just add some attacking players to make his team better when attacking.

the coach should maintain the tactics that is working for his team and not listening those complaining about his style,  he won the league and finished as runners up in the champions League with the same pattern and his players are comfortable with him and how they are playing. the thing is to Arsenal to strengthen their attack and continue their defensive approach if that will keep them from winning and not conceding goals carelessly, nobody should disturb him because he has won the heart of Arsenal fans.

Only if they don't slack down. Common sense should tell them that they are now going to be the ruler of the Premier League for long as they like until another manager master how the Premier League works. Even Arteta used to work with Guardiola, he copied his concept to win him and take the first place as the Champions of the English league. Now any team that will be coming to the top of the league have to do their home work on Guardiola else nothing for them.

I am having this skeptism that Xabi will do well, the guy had a good place in the Bundesliga before going to Real Madrid and even that place wasn't that worse as compared to Bundesliga this finished season. The problem he has was the players management. It was difficult trying to deal with them but I don't think Chelsea players are that complicated like that of the Real Madrid. So it's possible things will turn out well for him in the Premier League.

Arsenal’s morale will be high in the new season’s start due to their performance in this season. They won the prem and reached the champions league final and lost by penalties which isn’t considered a big loss. They will also have to adjust their squad more for the upcoming season and will try to not repeat mistakes they made this season and will try to perform better in the next season. I must say it is very overconfident of you to say they will win the premier league again though they have a good chance but i dont think so they will win it. They can perform well in the champions league but the premier league might be a bit tougher.

Past performance cannot be used to guarantee the future. Arsenal played pretty well this season doesn't mean that they will be in the same form next season to the point of winning both EPL and UCL that they couldn't achieve this season. It seems you think that Arsenal is the only club that's in EPL.

I feel the god of soccer decided to compensate them this past season due to how long they have strive to win a big trophy. I don't think that will happen next season. Next season will be different.

I don't actually doubt you but the kind of form and potential Arsenal was playing with, I thought they will bring home a lot of trophies but seeing them winning the premier league doesn't really make any sense to me anyways it is better they won at least the premier league and much is expected from them next season, all Arsenal fan were saying that Arteta will be sacked if he doesn't win the premier league and I'm sure Arsenal would have sacked him but fortunately for him, he won the premier league.

It might not make any sense to you but it made lots of sense to lots of Arsenal fans in their numbers around the world, they had Premier League trophy drought for two decades plus so it's something worth being happy for them, that's why their parade is one of the biggest so far in England, even though they couldn't win other trophies breaking that ill luck in the Premier League is very important.

 Well it never happened for us to know if sacking Arteta would be possible but it's good they did cause I believe lots of Arsenal fans would've pressured the board into sacking him. Arteta remains the best person to manage the team and sacking him if they didn't win the EPL trophy would've destroy what Arteta took years to build.

Arsenal had a very good season, and you can judge the quality of their performances not only by the Premier League. You could argue that Liverpool had a poor season and that Manchester City were unable to compete with Arsenal because they also went through difficult periods. But in addition to winning the Premier League, Arsenal also reached the Champions League final, which is a clear indication that Arteta has built a very strong team. I think Arsenal will try to defend their title again next season.

[tygeade]

Arsenal making moves this summer will be very tough, because selling anyone or even waiving anyone that won the league with you, would be very hard, and replacing them win someone will be even harder. So it is not going to end up with anything that would be that easy, we should be looking at this as something that would not be easy to handle and we should ignore all of this, and need to reach something much easier and better.

I personally believe Arsenal has to be careful, and make very low amount of moves. If I were them, I would not sell any good players I have, keep as many of the players as I possibly could, and only get a few players and not that many. One or two stars would be enough, nothing more is needed.

Arsenal have good players so arteta don't need to buy additional players,he only need to manage the players he already has to win the premier league in the upcoming season.. The players are well in form so they can still win the premier league and also do well in the champions league so everything depends on if arteta can manage them as he did last season. Yes I also believe they can win the champions league because they have learn from their previous mistake so they will play from experienced  to avoid losing in the final next season.

According to the form and potential that Arsenal played with this season, I thought that they would bring home many trophies, so in this context it can be said that if they play with such form and potential in the upcoming season, maybe this team can defend the PL title and it seems that they will make that effort because they have become the PL champion after 22 years. We see some weakness in the Arsenal team this season, maybe they will not repeat it in the upcoming season, as a result of which they will have to worry about the attack department the most, if the current EPL champions are balanced in this one department, then we believe that they will compete as favorites from other teams to win the title in the upcoming season.

Your suggestion is a nice move that Arsenal should listen to, otherwise they will end up like Bayer Leverkusen, as an ordinary team.
Arteta built over the years a decent team. Surely it lacks to perform even more and score more goals so they have to bring more options when things aren't working in a game or another. I agree that they should keep the team as it is and improve it. Arsenal still needs a player that show the difference between them and the other teams when needed.

Arsenal winning the premier League trophy this season actually is a thing of joy for Arsenal fans after staying for decades without winning the premier League. This season is like a kind of open door, homely by next season the team will perform more than this.
Arteta is a good coach and he has really done a great job in Arsenal, it would have been a great mistake if he was sacked from the club at end of the season. Lucky enough he was able to win a trophy this season unlike previous season.

One piece of hope that Arsenal fans can actually hold on to is that Arteta ever since he took the Arsenal job has always better his next season that is he has been gradually improving ever since and with that evolution I think it’s not bad for them to actually be thinking that they can go again next season to defend their title and possibly add some other domestic cups and also probably the champions league which will be Arteta biggest priority next season. For me he has actually done hard job of bringing trophy to the club but the hardest part is on how to make the team a consistent winners because that’s the real change that the club needs.

The winning mentality should be instill because if they fall next season then it could take them another years journey again, the league is no longer one sided again like when Pep Guardiola was around but now open for any new manager to dominate. Arsenal are currently the most balanced team among the others but Arteta needs to sign new players for better reinforcement this summer.

It's true that Arsenal should maintain this their premier League winning team, but you have to also know that you don't expect a winning team to enter the new season without bringing in any player to strengthen their team. Because there are factors such as injuries, fatigue and loss of form when it comes to a new season. It's not every player that perform at the highest level the previous season that you expect to maintain that form. Some of these Arsenal players will likely lose form and may not be in the best of form come next season.


I am of the opinion that, Arsenal should look into the market and bring in some good players in every department of the team so that they can still stay favourably because, there are allot of competition that Arsenal will be playing next season. Relying only on this winning team is going to be dangerous for Arsenal.

Arsenal is a big side compared to leverkusen, they won’t sell if they don’t want to. They currently the champions of England and making it to the champions league final is a big one for them too, so I think they will only attract players rather than selling. For sure some big side in Europe might as well want to take some players from them, it will only be the players desire if he wants to go.
Arsenal are planning to make big signings this summer, they have the likes of Osimehn and other big names too, so personally I believe they will be better next season.
Big expectations comes with big responsibilities, so now they will have to do better than next season if they want to be considered serious.

The truth is that there is never the perfect team so that's why arsenal will to improve their squad even if they are the current champions,the proven proven they would have is for the manager or the club management to feel relaxed just because they had won the premier League and I doubt after going through all those past years of struggle they would just leave the team be. They have won the premier League no doubt but the harder task now is to prove to everyone that they can actually defend it against all odds because next season won't be easy.

Good players will be kept, because they will not waste money in the transfer market. The only positions that I think need replacement are attacking midfielders, and left wingers, apart from these positions, any signing is just to increase squad depth because they already have players that can start in almost every team in these respective positions.

But if Arsenal strengthen more this summer, they might go again to win the premier league again.

[RockBell]

Arsenal will surely play a more interesting and beautiful football next season because their mind is now at rest since they have succeeded in winning the Premier League trophy and also went to the Champions League final even though they didn’t win it going to the Champions league final is a plus to them all this will boost their confidence for next season, I believe that Arsenal is going to lift the premier league trophy next season and possibly lift the champions league if they should sign important players, they already have good and solid defenders and a good striker.

How sure are you about arsenal because they can decide to surprise any one they can ot be trusted at all because they almost gave us an heart attack during the champions league and since we the city decided to allow them get away with the premier League pep just decided to do give away for arteta because I know that no matter what his job is going to be at stake and and after a long time then they were able to win and a lot of things happened and at this point I don't even think we should be given them credit because they have done nothing, and all this started when city closed in I expected more.

Yeah what Arsenal needs right now is a very good winger so if they can get 1 good winger it will really help them a lot so he can replace Trossard and Martinelli but as for me Trossard should stay because his better than Martinelli.

And they need a lot of changes in that club, because who would have expected arsenal to even come this far because they did not expect them because of how they were managing this whole club when they had a lot of looo holes as a club and they need players especially winger has you mentioned, and probably in addition they will need to bring in a new coach and this will help the club but the question now is who are they going to be bringing in.
