Arsenal's recent performances have raised some eyebrows. They've had a couple of draws in a row, first against Liverpool and then against Nottingham Forest. This is a bit surprising because they've been doing so well lately. The thing is, they had a great chance to pull away from the pack when Manchester City lost earlier that day. But they didn't take it.
Against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal had plenty of chances. They controlled the game, but they couldn't score. Forest, who are struggling this season, put up a strong fight. This shows that Arsenal might need to work on finishing their chances, especially in tight games.
Consistency is key in a title race. Dropping points against teams that are lower in the table can let other teams catch up. Arsenal knows this, and they must be feeling the pressure right now. They need to start winning again to keep their lead.
There's also a question about Arsenal's mentality. They've shown they can handle top teams, but in games where they're expected to win, they seem to be lacking something. They need to find that killer instinct again. If they don't, it could cost them the title.
This draw against Forest is a wake-up call. Even the best teams can't afford to take games lightly. Arsenal needs to bounce back quickly if they want to stay on top and keep chasing that league crown.
