Because beating Watford away has nothing to do with winning the league.

At least when we lost to Liverpool we could blame Alex Oxlade Chamberlaine and various transfer window jitters.

Oh, that's alright then; this time we could blame the ref. Happier now?
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Blaming the ref is the go-to solution when defending the players and the manager. When one is pissed-off with them the ref tends to get a pass. It also depends on the opposition. When Bayern keep cheating penalties off us it drives me mad because they're better than us anyway, and it just adds humiliation to the outcome. When we have enough to comfortably beat Watford even if a big decision goes against us, the team have to take responsibility.
I agree with each word of that. I would merely add that the fact that Bayern keep cheating penalties off us, despite being better than us anyway, is actually part of the reason they're better than us. I suppose now Watford think they're better than us too

Troy Deeney certainly seems to.I suppose now Watford think they're better than us too
No, all blame on said occasion lay firmly at the feet of Arsene Wenger who selected AOC and who was single-handedly responsible for the transfer window jitters (shambles) you refer to.
Yes, I wasn't blaming AOC himself, but his selection, as you say.
