So here it is, after all this time. The first real sign of Arsenal's fragility.
Last week at Liverpool, where Premier League leaders Mikel Arteta were two goals behind, didn't feel the same way. That's Anfield. Anything can happen. But that's not Anfield. It is West Ham's London Stadium and an opponent who lacks confidence in front of a soft attack no longer believes in their team.
However, the same thing happened. Two men up and Cruise becomes 2-2 and narrowly loses. West Ham hit the bar late. There were bad goals and even a missed penalty. These are the things that can happen in flash.
Now the title is ready for Manchester City. It may not look like this when looking at the table, but the two sides meet in Manchester in ten days and the problem for Arsenal is that their form is going one way while City are going the other way.

So Arsenal will have to be better than that on this occasion. Really, they will. It's not just football being tested at this time of year but mindset and that's something Arsenal are starting to explore.
It is not a crisis. Not yet. But it was a bad day simply because West Ham were the team waiting to be beaten and should have been. We can take advantage of Bukayo Saka's missed penalty in the 50th minute as much as we like. The scoreline was 2-1 for Arsenal at the time and if Saka scores, it looks like his team won't be able to win the match. So it was a pivotal moment and the fact that Saka's penalty didn't even need to be saved, half a meter off the post, would certainly make him feel terrible.
But that's not why Arsenal didn't win. They did not win because they brought West Ham back to a position where they contributed nothing in the first half hour. West Ham's first goal should have been a disadvantage for Arsenal, because they had been far superior up to that point. But Arsenal let that moment change the tempo of the game and they never got it back. Even after West Ham equalized, Arsenal still had half an hour and a considerable amount of artillery on the bench. However, they never regained the lead and the last chance of the game went to West Ham, with MIchail Antonio's header going over the bar.
