Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims the Gunners are not being given the credit they deserve for their performances this season. Just a few weeks ago, The Gunners were still on course for a possible quadruple, but in the space of a fortnight they are left with only the Premier League as a possible source of silverware.
But Wenger insists that Arsenal can still be proud of their efforts to date.
"Nobody in England believed we could even fight for the top four," he admitted.
"The fact we are in the position we are in, I think, deserves a lot of credit.
"We still have it (steel and mental strength). I don't question that." Wenger, who has not seen his side lift a trophy for six-years admits he does look at himself.
"I question myself ¬always, but don't ¬worry about that if that is your worry," he continued.
"If I listened to ¬everybody, then it is a miracle that we are playing for the title with 10 games to go.
"It's been very ¬difficult for the ¬players, but they have never shown any sign of weakness mentally. Even on Saturday they have put -absolutely every effort in and I can only be proud of how much they did fight.
"The only thing I can say is that I'm ready to give absolutely -everything to win the title.
"Let's hope, and I'm ¬confident we will, but we need now to work to recover.
"I believe we can do it. It's a good test now for us to show we can regroup, show mental strength, togetherness and respond quickly.
"We will have this kind of questioning for the next two, three weeks and we have to show we have an ¬answer to that.
"We are used to being questioned - and we have to show we are strong enough to deal with that."
