The 2-0 loss to Swansea on Saturday saw the Gunners drop to 10th place in the Premier League standings.

But despite experiencing his worse start to a season since joining the Gunners, Wenger feels the spirit of his side will see them come good.

He said: "We are in this job to turn things around, and I am confident we will [because of] the quality of the players and the spirit we have in the team. It is a good moment to stick together.

"I am not so much worried about [league] places, even if that is not the place you want to be, but I believe what is important is we get the quality of our game back. Then the places change."

With the 63-year-old coming under increasing pressure to win some silverware, Wenger has to turn it around quickly for his side. He insists he has no intention of quitting, however, and wants to be judged for his efforts at the end of the season.

"I know that at the moment, you get some good news from everywhere because there is a lot of unrest everywhere.

"I believe it is a good opportunity to stick together and show we are a strong club," he added.

Swans boss Michael Laudrup, meanwhile, delighted his side followed up their defeat of West Brom with another victory.

"There have been three great performances, each better than the (previous) one. The team is playing with a lot of confidence," Laudrup said.

"They put us under pressure for 20 minutes in the second half and you know their players can make the difference at any moment, so you can never sit easy.

"We looked in quite good shape and were only defending deep a few times.

"For me, it is not more special than winning at QPR, or at Newcastle, it is an away game.

"Winning at the big clubs is more for people on the outside.

"For me, every away game is so difficult and now we have already won three away, plus in the cup against Liverpool, that is great for a club like us."
