You said “hard to see where a goal would come from”Shoulda, woulda, coulda but didn’t.
Barcon replied “ Haaland had chances, Grealish had chances and Alverez had a chance”
“So a goal should, could, would and did. Come from one of those three”

Not hard for me to see where a goal is coming from. I tell the neighbours in CBL3 every time we go on the attack that I can smell a goal. A good number of times we get one, so it's not wholly wishful thinking.You said “hard to see where a goal would come from”

Not strictly true.....after we took the lead there were a couple of occasions they put us under the cosh and could have gotten an equaliser.It got quite nervy towards the end and i was very happy to hear that whistle.Big win in a high tempo game. Unlike vs Forest we didn’t give them a sniff.
There’s always some possession or a cross from an opponent in any game. At Forest it was different. At least for me. No nerves whatsoever. The Haaland penalty was a relief. Not perse the final whistle.Not strictly true.....after we took the lead there were a couple of occasions they put us under the cosh and could have gotten an equaliser.It got quite nervy towards the end and i was very happy to hear that whistle.
They definitely are not. It's been noticeable that frequently teams are playing Arsenal as if they're in the same class as them and fancy getting a result. I watched the first half against Fulham yesterday and Fulham were shockingly open. Their manager appeared to have set them up as if he thought Fulham were on Arsenal's level. That misconception was rewarded by them conceding three in the first half. I'm assuming they were reorganised and shut up shop in the second half because they stopped the bleeding. (I was so bored by Fulham's utter incompetence I'd stopped watching.)Arsenal seem to be coping without that. Maybe teams are not lying as deep against them.
I agree with you re Fulham they were abject.They definitely are not. It's been noticeable that frequently teams are playing Arsenal as if they're in the same class as them and fancy getting a result.

Teams are mostly playing Arsenal with far too little respect for how they're playing this season, giving them space they'd never give us in a million years.
Obviously it would have been preferable to be more clinical in front of goal, but many posters have already explained why taking an overly-negative POV on this performance isn't necessarily warranted. But each to their own, of course.because we won 1-0 everyone is ok with that display. That performance explains why the likes of Nottingham forest escaped with a point.
