The Gunners suffered their latest disappointment of the season on Monday night in the 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
Particularly troubling was the fact that Wayne Hennessey had one of his easier nights in the Palace goal as the Gunners failed to muster a single shot on target in the second half. I believe they can do it. We were very disappointed in that dressing room, like the fans are as well because we've let them down tonight. "It had an impact on us after the second goal". "When you are a big club you want to win every game, so that is normal". But I think Sanchez has been terrible the last couple of months. We had a lot of possession. Should they unexpectedly win that match, a final against Chelsea or Tottenham would await and an opportunity to end the season on the high of Wenger winning an all-time record seventh FA Cup.
"I don't think my players didn't want it, but we lost duels in decisive moments and that's how games are decided at this level", said Wenger.
The pressure continues to mount on Wenger however, with pundits and former players lining up to say it was time for him to go.
Vyas argued that if the 67-year-old confirmed that he would be leaving the Emirates, the fans could come together in the coming weeks to celebrate all that he had achieved at the club. "Top four proper struggling now".

Bilic continued to stress how essential three points is at the London Stadium this coming weekend, as the Hammers are now also on a seven-match winless run.
Arsenal now lie seven points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, making their return to Champions League football next season increasingly unlikely.
However, five teams are still in contingent for a place in the top four. On that front that is the most hard for us. A hard defeat but on top of that it has consequences on our chances to be in the top four.
"The fact that we've lost a few away games: it's really unusual. And of course it is a big worry".
Wenger has refused to explain what his plans are for the 2017/18 campaign, despite claiming he'd made his mind up on his decision.
"I am determined to put things right, the worry is not me, it is that we lost a big game and it is a big worry".
