Arsenal's recent victory over Newcastle suggests they are likely to finish second in the Premier League for the third consecutive year. This ongoing pattern of near success raises concerns about what it takes to finally secure a major trophy. Reflecting on his own experiences, the author draws parallels between the current team's struggles and past challenges faced by Arsenal. He emphasizes that overcoming the psychological barriers of repeated disappointment is crucial, referencing a psychologist hired by Arsène Wenger to unlock the hidden potential within the players.
