Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is wary of keeping Nicklas Bendtner's confidence up.
Bendtner missed several chances in their 1-1 draw with FA Cup opponents Leeds United.
Wenger admitted: "The longer it doesn't go for them, the more the confidence [issue] kicks in but, even when you're a regular, it affects you as a striker.
"We try to analyse our games in an objective way and I'm lucky because our players are self critical. They analyse themselves and they want to do well."
