#5 Another false dawn?
Arsenal have been the perennial underachievers in the eyes of many over the course of the last decade or so. They have played fluid, expansive football in bouts and have even managed to be considered title contenders only to falter when it matters the most.
The Gunners have been accused of performing well for only half-a-season and fizzling out in the other half. Following their opening day defeat against Liverpool, The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 8 matches, but the situation reminds many of their fans of a false dawn – which has deceived them one too many times.
They were in the mix for the title until March of last season, before fizzling out and eventually finishing 3rd. It is expected to be Arsene Wenger’s last season at the helm of The Gunners and the Frenchman will be hoping to bow out on a high, but for that, his side will need to keep up this intensity and hunger for the entire duration of the season and not just for one-half of it. Here’s hoping Wenger and Arsenal prove me and the doubters wrong come the end of the season.
