"It is unfair to just blame the strikers. We are all in this together, and we feel responsibility as a team for the lack of goals. There is no point blaming individuals. Nobody is going out there to miss on purpose," said the man nicknamed 'God'.
"It is easy to drag up statistics saying how long it is since people have scored, but the most important statistic of all is that we are creating chances. Sure, things have gone against us, but they won't for much longer.
"If the linesmen had given me the two goals I think should have stood, then we would be in a very different position today. I can't speak for others, but I don't feel any pressure. If I get the chances I won't hide from my responsibility.
"I've been around long enough to know that it happens, and that you come through it. We have some incredible talent at this club, and it's nonsense to talk of a crisis.
"We felt we would have won at Highbury if Xabi Alonso hadn't been unfairly sent off, and that would have put it into perspective.
"I know I have got it in me, I feel confident and I feel as though if I can get in the right positions then I'll put the ball in the net - so long as the linesmen do their job properly! I am fit now, and I feel in decent nick."
