Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has not ruled out the idea of the Gunners winning the Premier League this season.
The Spaniard remains optimistic about their chances despite their recent setback, a 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
The Gunners’ draw with Nottingham Forest puts them 13 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Arteta’s side dropped points for the second game in a row, as they continue to struggle with a dearth of offensive alternatives this season.
Bur Arteta does not want to lose up on the title fight with 11 games remaining in the season.
The former Liverpool assistant manager believes that all his squad needed to do was win all of their remaining games and see where that left them.
He stated in the post-match press conference (via ESPN): “It was the same a week ago, two weeks ago, three months ago. The only thing we can do is win our matches and see how many points we accumulate.
“We’ve lost two points in this game, which is unpleasant. It does not feel nice since we are here to win.
“We shown indisputable character in how much we desired and tried. We dominated the game. We tried several different approaches. We persisted, but lacked the spark, the last pass that unlocks a well-organized squad. “We need to get more shots on target.”
Arteta stuck with Mikel Merino as his striker despite the approach failing badly against West Ham United over the weekend.
Arsenal had only one effort on target during the game against Forest, with Mikel Merino wasting a good chance.
