If it's not costing us then maybe it's not really a problem?
Late goals which see a team drop points are going to happen. They happen to every team in every season. The question is how often. Is it something which is happening to us too often? If so can we correct that?

We did have a problem with conceeding late too often in games, often being too keen to go forward in tight games and getting caught. Maybe this tactic of going defensive at the end of games is a reaction to that. And actually since we started doing that we have very rarely dropped points late in games. So is it really a big problem? Wenger has been repeatedly criticised for doing it but very rarely has it seen us drop points.
Silly logic because the season isn't over. You often mention the frailties of our rivals and how odd this season has been so far so maybe we just haven't been punished as much or found ourselves in a position where we were under pressure like that late in the game.

We may never see this sort of scenario again in the league but say we were to go far in the Champions League? Champs League final maybe (let me dream)? Same scenario occurs and we repeat the same mistake and it costs us the cup? Is it still not a problem? Also, you need to stop talking in isolation of this season. It's something we've seen in past seasons and I'd have hoped we'd have learned by now.
