And the strain is starting to show as Wenger opted to deflect the heat on the Gunners in his pre-match press conference bby taking a pop at rivals Tottenham.
“Yeah, everything is a negative at the moment," Wenger said.
"Basically the teams that have gone out in the group stage, they are happy you know.
"But we have gone through and we are in crisis.”
Spurs are second in the Premier League, six points clear of Arsenal, but are out of both European competitions.
Mauricio Pochettino's side were knocked out of the Champions League at the group stages and were dumped out of the Europa League last month by Belgian side Gent.
