Arsenal lack midfield inspiration, drop crucial points in shock Watford defeat

LONDON -- Three thoughts from Arsenal's 2-1 loss to Watford at the Emirates.

1. Arsenal suffer shock Watford defeat

Arsene Wenger famously used to claim "he hadn't seen the incident" when his players found themselves in trouble, but he'll have witnessed this shock defeat to Watford very clearly indeed.

In his programme notes, Wenger noted that his enforced elevated position afforded him a better view of the overall picture. The picture here? Watford dominance. While Wenger has experienced half-time and full-time boos from around the Emirates many times before, it must have sounded particularly daunting from his position in the crowd.
