Arsene Wenger admits the past week has been the lowest ebb of his Arsenal career, and has challenged his players to show that they have what it takes to become more than also-rans in the race for silverware.
The Gunners looked like a good shout for both The Premier League and Champions League for much of the season, but their double assault has gone up in smoke in recent weeks.
Wenger is still coming to terms with his side's exit from the Champions League against Liverpool and seeing the club's title hopes disappear with a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United last Sunday.
"It is the lowest week I have had here,” said the Frenchman. “We were so close to qualifying in the Champions League and if we had won at Manchester United we would have had a very strong chance to win the title.
"It's been a year of hard work - probably the hardest we have ever worked here. So to lose everything in four or five days is very hard to take.
"But it's also a good opportunity to show we have strength, commitment and that we care about this club. There are still 12 points to go for and if we can end up with 83 that would be a good tally and represent good progress.
"I feel we have made good progress this season but we stagnated when it mattered and that is down to different circumstances. Now we have to discover that little bit which turns losers into winners."
