According to the end of this season, Arsenal is undoubtedly the most frustrated team. They were originally placed with high expectations, but failed to get what they wanted on the league and Champions League, and ended up empty-handed. Such an ending is undoubtedly regrettable and regretful.

1. The league's failure

Arsenal originally had an excellent chance to win the championship in the Premier League this season. Manchester City has been in a state of ups and downs this season, while Arsenal has previously won the second place in the league for two consecutive seasons, and the team's strength and stability have been fully proven. At the beginning of the season, they were full of momentum and once occupied the lead in the standings, giving fans hope to win the championship.

However, as the season deepens, Arsenal has repeatedly dropped in the league. In the crucial game, they missed opportunities many times. Especially in direct conversations with the championship rivals, Arsenal's performance is always unsatisfactory. They also lost points many times when facing some mid- and lower-level teams. These seemingly inconspicuous mistakes eventually led them to lose in the league championship.

2. Regrettable elimination in the Champions League semi-finals

In the Champions League, Arsenal's performance this season is improving. They easily qualified in the group stage, and also passed the knockout stage and successfully reached the semi-finals. Facing a strong opponent, Arsenal performed well in the first leg and once saw hope of advancing to the final. However, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal failed to continue his good form in the first leg and was eventually eliminated.

In the second league with Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, who had no hope of winning the championship, could have used substitutes to deal with the opponent's challenges. After all, Arsenal lost one goal in the first leg, and it takes better physical fitness and player status to equalize or overtake, but Arteta is very funny and still uses all the main players to fight in the league. The lack of physical fitness made them do their best in the second match with Paris Saint-Germain, but they were finally eliminated. Arteta's previous arrangement of troops is suspicious.

3. Odegao's disappointing performance

In the journey of Arsenal this season, captain Odegao's performance has also aroused a lot of attention and controversy. As the team's midfield core and captain, Odgao failed to perform as well in many key games, and even showed a sluggish state at critical moments. In the environment of high-pressure pressing, his ability to handle the ball is particularly insufficient, which often causes the team's offensive rhythm to be interrupted and even the opponent seizes the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Odegao's overly conservative style of play limits the team's offensive firepower to a certain extent, and also makes Odegao's position in the team questioned. His performance seems to be difficult to match the responsibility and commitment represented by the captain's armband, and there are even voices who believe that he does not have the absolute strength to be the captain of the team.

Arteta has been the head coach for more than five years and has spent more than 800 million euros on transfers. The team won 1 FA Cup and 2 Community Shield Cups, but never won the league championship trophy that they thought of. Of course, Arteta's arrival also reversed Arsenal's decline, but the loss at a critical moment also made the outside world doubt Arteta's coaching ability.

If Arteta still cannot make a breakthrough in key events next season and cannot bring a more substantial championship trophy to the team, then the patience of the fans may be completely exhausted. At that time, calls for Arteta to be dismissed may sound again, and his future in this team will become precarious. After all, fans’ desire for championships has never changed and they want to see the team shine on a higher stage.
