Capi, 1-0 to the Arsenal is a great result.
The league probably only favors higher goals scored in the standings just for consistency in the ranking methodology. More points, more goals. Easier to understand.
I still believe in the 1-0 or other low scoreline. We talk about the confidence boost from not conceding, but on the other hand, the misery from conceding as much as we are is painful across the team. If you're an Arsenal striker, and the attack has labored to score 3 goals, imagine how it feels to see the defense give away 2 more goals in the 2nd half instead of protect the lead you worked so hard for. The strikers feel cheated, they blame the defenders. The defenders know they have failed the attackers. Psychologically, the cost of what we are doing right now is enormous.
I would not be surprised if it is adding to the nerves. Notice how defense seemed fine for 100 minutes against Liverpool, then we scored, and the defenders just fell to pieces. Perhaps they felt like the spotlgith was on them
