Liverpool in the 2013/14 season: first time?

[Felix]

Arsenal is having an excellent season. Finishing 2nd is an excellent achievement for a young team which is IMO still 2/3 years away from hitting their peak. But they have bottled the league too. They sacrificed every cup competition and they were playing one game per week. Jesus, saka, zinchenko, odegard every one of them lost their form in crunch time.

[BrasilianFury]

So uh...a Top 4 finish is STILL really great for Arsenal altogether. But also, they did bottle arguably their best shot at winning the Prem for the next few years as I feel City is only gonna get stronger (if allegations don't get them), Newcastle's on the rise, Man U seems to be getting its collective shit together...

It's a shame, too. I like the make-up of their team currently for the most part.

German spin-off now available featuring Dortmund

As a Gooner, I'll sit here and take our lashings to say we bottled it. Every other top team in the league since Peps reign would've ripped your arm off to have that lead against City that deep into a title race. Not to mention, everyone is kind of cleaning up the mess for us in not mentioning how we didn't have an eight plus point gap on them once, but twice. And if this will be our last chance is largely contingent on our owners and how they interpret this season. They would've looked at this is good enough to go on in seasons gone past which only made the gap between us and the top larger. If they look at this as stepping stone to inprove and go again then we should be ok. But this summer is crucial crossroads in the history of our club, they have to do what's effective to get us back to this position.

They led for 93% of the season, you know how crazy that is? The highest a Premier League team had led the league without winning it previous to this was 78% (Arsenal in 02/03) and the maximum points they can now finish on is 87, that's just 1 more than Tottenham in 2017. If we can all agree that TOTTENHAM bottled it that season, how can we then even entertain the idea that ARSENAL haven't bottled it? Did I fall asleep and wake up in a universe where Arsenal aren't 13 time league title winners?? What is with this attempt to infantilise and coddle this great club into dismissing success as something that could never have been in their hands? Let them take their licks or forever relegate them to being the kind of team that is never expected to win things

Another great video, mate. Your unbiased approach is very refreshing.
Arsenal have produced some of the best football to watch this season, without a doubt. Though, some of those games you quite rightly pointed out that Arsenal put themselves in some sticky situations to begin with. Most Arsenal fans knew from the start of this season that they needed serious depth to compete with City or Liverpool, when people say 'City have two first teams' its not a joke... They could put their subs into a B team and probably finish top 4. They didn't sign enough in January and inevitably a couple of injuries weakened them too much in terms of the way they play. All this bottle banter is only a good thing for the Arsenal squad, they're young, they'll learn and you'll bet Arteta will have a bottle show reel for the players next season so they don't forget where they've come from.

I think they overperformed a little in the begining ( they were on course to 100 point season), and couldn't keep that amazing form for the entirety of it ( injuries didn't help). Few upgrades in the squad (especially on the bench), and they can easily challange for Prem again. Their progress from last season is great, and defo we could see more of that side in the future.

[branaldinho]

Everyone talks about the pool game but I think that’s typical ignorance from football fans. If you want to win the league taking 4 points from Liverpool is absolutely superb and nothing wrong with that, the media and all rival fans mocked them and made it seem like it was a failure not to win at anfield when a draw is a massive improvement considering they usually get pumped there. If you want to win the league you have to do the double over teams like Southampton, West Ham for example. Not Liverpool.

[kingfwogger]

At least they didn't bottle a 4 goal lead in a League One playoff match.

[thekeccles]

Been a City fan all my life (it's a blood thing, not a convenience thing) and you just have to tip your hat to Arsenal this season for how well they've competed and the strides they've made in playing the way they want to play. Yes, you can argue they haven't quite had the squad depth, or the killer, experienced mentality needed to finish the season as strongly as they've been playing, but the advances Arsenal has made over the course of a year cannot be denied.

Keep in mind that over the course of 4 years, City have beaten out Liverpool to the title by 1 point TWICE -- both times with both teams finishing above the 90-point mark. When City get into a groove and start looking at their best, any slip-up can get punished. I don't like people poking fun at Arsenal this season because they have so much more to be proud of than to be ashamed of. Any team that pushes this current City side to their brink deserves massive credit.

Slightly off topic but really loved your history of the premier league video top tier 👌

[unilife]

Bottling is defined as losing a lead (Often a big one) in some spectacular way.
Dortmund this season and Spurs in 2016 are called bottlers despite Dortmund constantly switching rankings with Bayern in the table and Spurs not actually holding 1st before they collapsed.

I don't have anything against Arsenal, but they held 1st for more than 90% of the season. If that isn't bottling, I don't know what is.

[HFMCE-HFRSSEIA]

the thing also is, they beat Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham and suddenly their fans and the players thought they are really the deal. Forgetting conveniently these teams were in a bad rut most of the season. Fittingly it was Liverpool, whom many Arsenal fans declared that they were taking over, who decided to put a spanner into the works with an improved second half in the 2-2 game that exposed Arteta as a clueless coach and the team cannot cope with pressure.

[ebk]

Saliba isn't a key player because he is a really solid defender, he is a key player because his speed allows the team to push higher up the pitch. That's something holding or kiwior couldn't do.

[reverseclouds]

It seems the only defence against them not bottling it, is people just tip toeing around the word ‘bottle’

[reeceh]

First place most of the season just to drop to 2nd in the final stages of the season, that's a bottle job in my opinion. They have done amazing though and if they add to the young core they could be a force!

[micahcshoemaker]

Arsenal’s tactics after injuries and lack of squad depth caused the capitulation. Artetas lack of adaption to adversity and player management played a pivotal role as well. As a arsenal fan it’s comforting to know things may change but inevitably stay the same.

[mohamedosama]

Finishing runner up with that squad will probably be the most impressive thing arteta have ever done

[ilidot]

They did bottle it and no one is convincing me otherwise. “No one expected them to be there”. Well they were there and 8 points clear and even if we take the Man City game out, they win the rest of their games (which they should), they win the league! But they didn’t and dropped 12 points in 7 games.
