What a season this is turning into for the Gunners! From losing their first two games, Arsenal has gone on to win 11 out of the next 11 games they have played across all competitions. They are having a dream run this season, and it's only getting better and better.
The mastermind Unai Emery is already a fan-favourite. He has managed to pick up an uninspired Arsenal and turn them into a beast of a team!
Though it's yet to be seen how they perform against the top 6, it is certain that they won't disappoint. The Gunners have come out big in occasions they suffered, and this tells us the immense dedication and determination the side reflects, this term. Unai and co certainly plan to win some silverware this season.
Arsenal under Arsene Wenger played beautiful football, indeed. But in the later parts of his term, they lacked efficiency and were largely inconsistent.
The Gunners had not won a single away game last season in the Premier League, whereas they have already managed to win four away games this season. This tells us that Unai Emery means business and we are yet to see what this side can achieve.
There are certain players who have impacted the team tremendously, and Arsenal's season ahead depends upon their consistency. Here are 4 players who Arsenal would want to be at their best.
#4 Lucas Torreira
One of the most impactful players for the London side, Lucas Torreira is clearly a blessing for Arsenal. The 22-year-old transpires positivity on the pitch, and he is a kind of midfielder Arsenal lacked in the recent decade.
Unai Emery has helped him unleash the beast inside him, as the Urugyuan does not feel any kind of pressure whatsoever, for which the coaching staff must be praised.
Torreira is an explosive midfielder, who has the calibre to break apart defences with his passes and is filled with talent. At just the age of 22, he looks as confident than any 30-year-old player.
Certainly the one for the future.
#3 Hector Bellerin
Hector Bellerin, one of the fastest fullbacks in the world, is improving pretty well under Unai Emery. The Spanish player was a vital player for Wenger's side as well; low crosses and dribbling on the wings is a few of his qualities.
However, his lacklustre performances in the defending aspects of the game saw him receive immense hate and criticism from his fanbase.
But Hector has not given up. Despite the criticisms, he has drastically improved his game under Unai Emery, the gaffer being a keen supporter of his right back.
Bellerin bursts down the flanks pretty often in a game, and his high work rate helps the Gunners to continuously attack from the right.
His crosses often tend to disturb the defenders, and the chemistry he shares with Ozil often pays off on the pitch. Hector Bellerin, from a want-away player last term, has transformed himself into an indisputable figure.
He has been a consistent performer this year, and Emery certainly expects a lot from his player.
#2 Mesut Ozil
The German maestro never fails to impress, does he? Once again proving his worth, Mesut Ozil became the highest German scorer ever to play in the Premier League with 40 goals to his name.
It's not really about the goals he scores, but the way he creates it for his teammates. Arguably, Ozil's vision is second to none. Though his consistency is a bit of a concern, he, on his day, walks over his opponents with ease.
Arsenal's season rests on Ozil as there is not a player as creative as him in the centre of the pitch. Mkhitaryan plays wide, and therefore, Ozil is the man assigned with the duty to create, much deservingly.
Ozil starts attacks comfortably through the middle, and he is the main man for Arsenal's efficiency in the final third.
The gaffer has placed trust in Mesut Ozil for controlling the midfield, and though Ozil has shown signs of inconsistency, Unai believes in him to come back stronger for the upcoming games. Arsenal would need their main man when the business end of the season arrives.
#1 Pierre Emerick Aubameyang & Alexandre Lacazette
Aubameyang, since his first few games for the Gunners, was named 'The Next Thierry Henry' for his world-class displays after coming in the winter transfer market last season.
Lacazette was expected to be benched for Aubameyang but Unai had different plans. He deploys them both together in games and it's all too good for Arsenal when they both start together.
Words struggle to describe the abilities these both possess. Their understanding on the pitch has helped them improve each other's game, and together, they never leave the pitch without scoring.
Aubameyang is certainly a world-class player, and that is exactly what his tenure at Dortmund describes. However, his start to the Premier League this season was a bit of a concern but it's all good now after 9 games.
The 27-year-old has drastically improved under Unai Emery, and he is only getting better and better with time. I would not be surprised if he finishes in the top 5 for the Premier League Golden Boot this season.
