We asked for your views on what might be slipping under the radar at the Emirates.
Here are some of your comments:
Sam: The fact that despite all the injuries, suspensions and problems faced we are still second - albeit 12 points back - in the Premier League and in the Champions League quarter-finals. Yet there is criticism from the media and even some Arsenal fans towards the club and Arteta when teams with similar situations are experiencing much worse struggles.
Mike: Simply that we are back where we should be, competing with the best. Not every team can win everything every year, but we are on the verge and it's being ruined by people having a go because we've lost a few games, are going through an injury crisis while another team is having an incredible season. Perspective is needed.
Nigel: We seem to be talking a lot about the need for a striker but this summer we could end up losing Jorginho and Thomas Partey - two highly experienced and reliable players that will seriously deplete the team as there are no natural replacements currently.
Denis: Would love to see Gabriel Martinelli in a striker role. He has the pace for long balls and moves well inside the box. Mikel Arteta has to try him in that position. Nothing to lose - everything to gain.
Jack: How impressive of a season Jurrien Timber is having. He has gone under the radar because of the sudden surge of Lewis-Skelly at left-back, but to have played 40 games coming off the injury he had and not once looking out of place is very impressive.
Fred: The number of quality youngsters coming through our academy is a positive. The fact we are still competing for big trophies with so many crucial injuries is positive. Competing for Premier League crown every season is the best performance for over a decade and it is a good sign. It has set us up nicely for bigger things. Just need patience.
