Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes Arsenal have plenty more to offer this season, insisting that Mikel Arteta’s side could become even more dangerous as the campaign progresses.
Murphy is particularly impressed by Arsenal’s impressive start to the Premier League season, having collected 27 points from their opening 10 matches, a points tally that he believes is usually associated with teams capable of winning the league title.
However, what makes Arsenal’s situation even more interesting, according to Murphy, is that they have managed to accumulate so many points without consistently producing their best football.
He believes the Gunners have often found ways to grind out victories even when their performances have not been particularly spectacular. While he singled out their performance against Chelsea as an outstanding display, he suggested that Arsenal have otherwise managed to get over the line without always hitting top gear.
Murphy said:
🗣️ “These numbers, 27 points after 10 games, that club normally wins the title. I think what’s worrying for everyone else is they’ve got this amount of wins, this amount of points, and Arsenal haven’t really played that well.
“Maybe in the Chelsea game they were outstanding, but they’ve just got over the line other than that. There’s more to come from this team, make no qualms about that. I think they’re in a wonderful position and a really great place.”
This is the message Arsenal’s title rivals might not want to hear. The Gunners are already collecting important points, and the expectation is that their performances could improve further as the players continue developing their understanding and consistency.
Arsenal are getting results without always being at their best. Imagine what happens when Arteta finally gets this team firing on all cylinders! 😭🔥
