Arsenal 2013-14

Arsenal

Transfers:

Mesut Ozil is one of the best transfers this transfer window. Time will tell how it turns out for Arsenal and Wenger. Wenger transfer history has been one of the key factors in his success and carrying on in UEFA Champions League. Mesut Ozil only weak point which was seen on numerous occasions last season was his finishing ability in one to one situations. Mesut Ozil will be key to Arsenal season and most importantly Giroud should be focal point of Arsenal goals. Mathieu Flamini also returns to Arsenal. Ability wise he might be lacking or be slow but he is surely one who never gets tired so he might prove to be valuable to Arsenal this season. 

Goal Getting:

Giroud started of quite well this season by getting goals. He is Arsenal best striker by far. Wenger like to play Walcott and Podolski on wing which gives versatility to Arsenal attack as well as gives Giroud some sense of security at his position. Arsenal Mid also contributes a lot in goal getting so as usual Arsenal will not face any problem in getting goals this season.

Depth:

Arsenal in previous seasons struggled due to lack of depth in squad. Remember 8-2 vs United? Arsenal had many injuries and it turned out to be some task for young guns to fire. Maybe Arsenal Squad looks strong and deep but Arsenal still is weak in depth of there squad. They do not have enough defenders to coup up with injuries. But great thing for Arsenal is they have great Mid. Wilshere is improving everyday. With Carzola alongside new signing Ozil will be a treat to watch. Giroud being main and sole attacker, as season goes on Arsenal might feel difficult in replacing or resting him in any match.

 Weak Point:

As mentioned by a alot of experts and pundits Arsenal is vulnerable at defense. But basically its not their defense problem. Errors might cost you one or two matches but their main problem is lack of defensive mentality specially in mid. Arsenal most preferable back 4 are one of better players in the league but still they concede a lot of goals. Because they lack a player like Gilberto Silva or Veira. Diaby is fairly a good player but his injuries means Arsenal cant relay on him in any sense.

Predicted Finish:

They still might get the 4th spot again but it is hugely dependent on how Spurs perform throughout the season with so many new players in Spurs. So again its between Spurs and Arsenal for 4th spot.
