I'd say it has been a long time coming. You have the external factors: we were short of funds after our Emirates move (compared to other teams at least), and hadn't expected the likes of City to pump so much cash in their team. Then the explosion of transfer fees in ten-fifteen years time, and the uprising of what used to be pub teams (i.e. Wolves). I'm not a fan of excuses but we've had our fair share of injuries as well, imagine a VAR when Wilshere was nearly killed by that Man Utd ****.
Then the things we ****ed up ourselves, mainly recruitment. Our team was very good up until 2015-2016 I think. That was the time we shifted away from technical players, buying the likes of Xhaka who are still detrimental to our team now. And now we have a ****show on our hands and it will take a lot to get back. It will take time and luck on investments, like Salah for Liverpool. Because we aren't United or City who can replace half their starters in two windows.
