David James: ‘Monster’ Petr Cech not enough for Arsenal to win title

Sometimes their attacking mentality has also been their downfall, such as in the Champions League last season against Monaco – where they went all-guns-blazing and were caught out at the Emirates.

“Arsenal looked a lot better prepared for the Community Shield, and had a great pre-season”, Parlour is quoted as saying by the Telegraph.

However, Szczesny is still remaining upbeat over his future in north London and feels that the loan move could, in fact, stand him in good stead in order to forge a successful career with Arsene Wenger’s side in the years to come. Everyone has to adjust a bit now.

It should help Arsenal’s cause that they finally seem to have solved their problems in matches against their fellow title contenders. They repeated the triumph this May after trouncing Tim Sherwood’s Aston Villa 4-0 in the summit clash.

Szczesny, 25, sealed his season-long switch to the Serie A side last month following the arrival of Petr Cech at Arsenal, and the Poland goalkeeper is relishing his opportunity to play for the Giallorossi.

Arsenal are well equipped to beat any team with the abundance of talent and alternating playing pattern.

“And I just think that Schneiderlin would have offered Arsenal a massive physical presence – like Nemanja Matic for Chelsea and Yaya Toure for Manchester City – and you look over the last few years and Schneiderlin has been exactly that type of player“.

With Cech delivering a typically solid display against his old club, fans and players are queueing up to claim Arsenal at last have the steely spine needed to wrestle the title away from Stamford Bridge.

“The title race is decided by details and which team can maintain a good spirit, that level of focus which is vital throughout the season”, he said.

“You can see that on the pitch”.

“Francis Coquelin was a revelation in the second half of last season, but we do not know if he can quite continue that over the coming years”.
