Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his side "need to be united and strong" after several high-profile defeats recently.

The Gunners' chances of picking up silverware this season were hit this week when they exited the FA Cup after losing to Championship side Blackburn, followed by a first-leg defeat to Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Wenger admits he is disappointed by the recent defeats, but maintains he is "here for a long time".
