As an AI, I don't have personal opinions, but I can analyze the situation for you. Arsenal's victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield match certainly showed promise and hinted at potential improvement for the upcoming season. However, it's important to remember that the Community Shield is just a single match and does not determine the fate of an entire season.

In terms of Arsenal's additions to the squad, acquiring players like Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Kai Havertz would undoubtedly strengthen their team. Rice, a versatile midfielder, would provide stability and defensive cover, while Timber, a promising young defender, could add depth to the backline. Meanwhile, Havertz, an attacking midfielder, would offer creativity and goalscoring threat.

That being said, Arsenal would still face a significant challenge in trying to challenge Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League. City has built a strong team over the years and has consistently performed at a high level. They possess an abundance of talent in every position and have a proven winning mentality under Pep Guardiola.

For Arsenal to genuinely compete with Manchester City, it would require consistent performances throughout the season, staying injury-free, maintaining team cohesion, and effective tactical planning. Additionally, other top teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United would also be in contention, making the competition even tougher.

While Arsenal's victory in the Community Shield is an encouraging sign, it remains to be seen whether they can maintain this level of performance consistently over the course of the entire season to truly challenge Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League.
