Arsenal are often described as a team that can pop up with a goal in the last ten minutes of games. However, in recent times, they have shown that they are simply a team capable of displaying a twenty minute blitz that, if survived by the opposition, seems to leave Arsenal without the confidence or creativity to damage their opponents.
The Gunners are not in a situation in which they can stand back and hope that their opponents in the title race start dropping points, they need to start showing that they are capable of picking up victories against teams that are prepared to sit back and absorb the pressure that Arsenal put on them in the way that Manchester City, Leeds United and Ipswich Town have done in recent games. Most people made Arsenal football betting tips to win the Carling Cup, but their poor performance this week has left them facing elimination.
Although the season is reaching a crucial point and the football betting reflects this. The Gunners seem to have suddenly fallen out of form at exactly the wrong time of year. However, with this slump occurring largely in cup competitions, rather than in the Premier League, the Gunners know that their match against West Ham United at the weekend can provide them with the sort of self-belief required to take a team from the level of contenders to that of champions.
If the Gunners fail to secure an early breakthrough against West Ham, they will have the perfect opportunity to show that they are a ninety minute side, rather than a side which needs to make an immediate impression or else lose their belief.
