The Gunners are now five points behind leaders Leicester City and have even dropped below north London rivals Tottenham, but the Frenchman is relaxed about his side's prospects
Manager Arsene Wenger has called for Arsenal to keep their belief after dropping five points behind Premier league leaders Leicester City following their 0-0 draw with Southampton.
A four-game winless streak in the league has seen Wenger's men slip to fourth in the table after Tottenham's 3-0 victory over Norwich City, with Mauricio Pochettino's men ahead of the Gunners on goal difference.
Frustration was evident around the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday as the home side created chance after chance, only to be denied by the superb Fraser Forster.
Wenger, though, is remaining calm despite seeing his side's title challenge stutter.
We put the energy level in, we created chances but our finishing was poor and at the end of the day we paid for that," he said. "We dropped two points.
"I cannot fault our focus, desire and energy levels but when you create the quality of chances we created you want to win the game, and that's what we couldn't do.
"At the moment we have played three [league] games without scoring goals but not creating chances. You go through patches like that, you have to keep the belief and solidarity and not drop our confidence.
"Of course we dropped points in the [title] race but we have to focus on winning games and not too much on what the opponents do."
