Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reminded his players that the club are still fighting on three fronts this season despite losing in the League Cup final on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Gunners lost 2-1 to Birmingham at Wembley with Obafemi Martins\u2019 winner coming in the 89th minute from a huge mistake between goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny.<\/p>\n
Wenger told his players that they can\u2019t afford a \u2018Cup hangover\u2019 and he expects the team to bounce back in their FA Cup Fifth Round replay against Leyton Orient on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
Speaking to a branch of the club\u2019s media, Arsenal TV Online, Wenger said: \u201cOf course, there is disappointment in the dressing room but the players are united, have a strong bond and are determined to go for the massive challenges we have in front of us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot let our motivation level or our confidence level drop because of that because of the massive targets we have in front of us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have much higher targets than the Carling Cup, even though we would have loved to have won it. We all agree about that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are in a massive race in the championship, we have an opportunity to qualify in the FA Cup and we have won the first leg in the Champions League [against Barcelona].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
