Arsenal coach, Arsene Wenger, wants his Gunners side to fight which will be a perfect response to a bad week and a catalyst for a better week.
Wenger watched his charge suffer back-to-back defeats to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League and Manchester United five days later in the Barclays Premier League.
Their last defeat sees the North London side lose a grip on the title – with leaders Leicester City and Tottenham five and three points superior.
And Wenger, who says “the odds are against them at the moment”, wants a fight from his lads who face Swansea and Spurs in their next league fixtures.
“What we want to do is defy all the odds that are against us at the moment,” he told the club official website on Tuesday.
“The best way to do it is to fight together for that. We have come out of a bad week so we want to have a good week now.
“It’s as simple as that and that’s why you love competition. A bad week is not permanent; it’s what you make of it and how you respond. That’s the beauty of sport. Things change quickly one way or the other. That’s beautiful as well.
“We are professional and we want to focus on how we respond to the defeat. It can happen. We lost 3-2 at Manchester United, we are not happy with the result but if you analyse the game we had two lapses of focus that we paid for. That made the game difficult for us after.
“We gave a lot against Barcelona and the disappointing outcome certainly had an impact on our belief against Manchester United, but we want to focus on the positives and recover from it. We want to give our best from now until the end of the season.”
