If you’ve watched Arsenal this season, you can feel it: the squad doesn’t just have options it has weapons everywhere.
David Raya put it best: the depth is “incredible,” and it’s powering a charge for trophies on multiple fronts. After smashing Atlético 4 – 0, that’s six straight wins and 10 from the first 12. Title-winning rhythm, Champions League swagger both boxes ticked.
The defensive numbers are outrageous. Three goals conceded all season, only one from open play. In the last three wins, Raya has faced a single shot on target.
That isn’t luck it’s structure, pressing, and ridiculous concentration from front to back. Intercept high, spring short counters, suffocate teams before they even breathe. That’s elite, modern football.
And the rotation? It’s Arteta football at graduate level. Over £250m invested and not just on names on versatility. Players flipping roles mid-game like it’s nothing: Mikel Merino finishing as a striker after running the midfield.
The message is ruthless: train like a starter, play like a starter, or someone takes your shirt tomorrow. That competitive fire is why the standards keep rising.
This is the Arsenal we’ve been waiting for depth with teeth, ideas with execution, a keeper who barely needs to make a save because the whole team defends like maniacs.
If they keep this tempo, don’t talk about “a” trophy. Talk about trophies.
