Arsene Wenger still believes Arsenal can win Premier League title
Anything is still possible according to 'Le Prof'...
By Zack Wilson
The Gunners have been beaten by both Manchester United and Chelsea in recent weeks and have drawn with Aston Villa, but the Frenchman still feels that anything is possible in such a tight race as this season's.
"I sit here in every single press conference and the situation of the moment is like it is forever. Sport is change, movement and we have to accept that," Wenger told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday.
"Of course it is realistic to still think we can catch Manchester United and Chelsea - why not?
"Everybody will drop points. We have already played all the big teams. We have a long way to go. We still have 13 games to play and 39 points to take."
His side face Liverpool on Wednesday, knowing anything less than a defeat will see the title slide out of view.
"At the moment, it [the deficit] is a disadvantage, but let's continue to believe in what we do and play our game against Liverpool with belief," Wenger added.
"It is our job not to let people think the situation is definite. I can understand people's conclusions, but our job is to fight and not to give up.
"We must fight to win the league - if we don't have that belief, it cannot happen.
"I am sure mathematically it [winning the league] can happen, and if you look at the fixtures it can really happen."But it is down to how much we believe and how much we refuse to give up and how much we can stick together despite all the conclusions."
Nevertheless, despite his faith in his players, Wenger will be working hard to analyse where things have gone wrong in recent weeks.
"It is important that I show support to my players and think collectively about how we cannot repeat the mistakes which happened to us in the last two games," he added."Having looked at the way we have conceded the last two goals, it looks to me quite easy to solve, and that is it.
"It is important that we support each other and show solidarity and that people who try to destroy that are not right.
"This is a team that really wants to win and you have seen that against Chelsea, until the last minute of the game."
