After defeat at West Brom, Arsene Wenger says job speculation is not influencing Arsenal's form.

The Arsenal boss, who insisted that he had not informed anyone at the club of his decision, does not necessarily think the uncertainty surrounding his future is impacting on his players.

"I don't know about that," said Wenger.

"In this job it is like having a problem with your engine, there are problems but you have to find the most important one.

"The most important one today was that we had 77 per cent of possession and didn't create many chances. We have to focus on that."

Wenger feels a lack of confidence rather than an attitude problem is at the root of Arsenal's current issues.

"I don't see any of the signs of a lack of attitude," he said.

"You can always use that criticism when you lose a game but I think we took the responsibility to take the game to them, although it didn't work today.

"I think we are short of confidence but I don't think it's an attitude problem.

"We have a big fight and it will be very difficult now (to finish in the top four) but there is no other way than fighting and going down to the last game of the season and then if it is not good enough we have to take the consequences."
