Although we have 'a lot of rocks in our way' Mikel Arteta is more convinced than ever that we can achieve our goals this season.
Wednesday's defeat at Manchester City leaves us in ninth place but with nine Premier League games still to play, our head coach is confident that we can put together a strong end to the season.
"I cannot deny that there have been some big challenges along the way but as well I feel so privileged," he said. "It's an honour to be in the position that I am.
"Every decision that I'm going to make is to defend the club in the best possible way, and then get the players on board, get their trust, get them behind me to believe in what I'm trying to do.
