Arsenal striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 believes the Gunners can still finish in the top four and shouldn’t be counted out just yet.
The Gunners went on to lose to Manchester United this past weekend by two goals to one and that loss saw the team cement their spot in the fifth spot in the league table.
As it stands, Arsenal are now sitting five points behind Chelsea, who occupy the last Champions League spot in the league table.
Arsene Wenger and his team now have a lot of pressure on their hands to finish in the top four and the team knows that they have to try and finish in the top four, or they could be out of the Champions League this coming season.
Van Persie seems to be confident that Arsenal can finish in the top four, while indicating that the team is going to be looking to try and end their trophy drought this season.
The striker feels Arsenal can still win the FA Cup and try and contest for the Champions League as well and should the team be able to bring a trophy home at the end of the season, they could silence most of their critics.
Van Persie is quoted to have said: “We are all committed to doing the very best we can to bring success to The Emirates.”
“We are not giving up on a top-four finish, no way. Losing to Manchester United was a setback, but it is not a knockout blow.”
“We have the FA Cup to look forward to and the Champions League. We will all be giving 100 per cent to make sure we bring one of those trophies home, hopefully both of them.”
“Let's all stick together and fight.”
Despite Arsenal not doing too well in the Premier League, the team is doing more than decently in other competitions. Along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 are the only other English side to have survived in this seasons Champions League for so long.
At the same time, a series of good performances in the FA Cup, could easily see the team make it all the way to the finals.
It is now a wait to see just how Arsenal end their season and whether they pikc up a trophy or not.
