Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal has suggested that the commitment level of the squad has been below what it should be after a disappointing couple of weeks.
The club's Premier League title hopes have faded since the New Year and they crashed out of the Champions League in the round of 16, 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich.
The Gunners have lost four of their seven fixtures since February, but Monreal insists the players can turn it around.
"We have had difficult games, but maybe our commitment hasn't been enough [lately]," the 31-year-old told Arsenal Player.
"In the past few games we haven't played our game and maybe that's why we've lost too many times.
"When you lose one, two or three games in a short time, it's obviously difficult because your confidence goes down. We have to win a couple of games and then I'm completely sure that the team will go up again."
Arsenal take on West Brom on Saturday sitting fifth in the standings, five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
