Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made an impassioned rallying call following Saturday's 3-2 defeat by Tottenham.
The Gunners let a 2-0 lead slip as Spurs sealed their first league win at Arsenal since 1993, prompting Wenger to hurl a bottle of water in frustration.
"I want this team to win so much that I am giving every drop of my blood to make sure," he said, ahead of Tuesday's Champions League trip to Braga.
"I want them to be successful because they deserve it so of course it hurts."
Wenger's team, without a major trophy since a penalty shoot-out triumph over Manchester United in the 2005 FA Cup final, could have gone to the top of the Premier League with victory against Tottenham, and looked set to do so after goals from Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh put them two up inside 27 minutes.
But Spurs hit back with three goals after the break, culminating in Younes Kaboul's 85th-minute winner.

"The way we conceded the goals, that leaves us with many regrets," admitted Wenger.
"It is certainly down to something. Sometimes we are easing up in games because maybe subconsciously we feel we need to go through the motions and sometimes there is a more subtle subconscious feeling that we have not won yet and we get a bit nervous when we have to really concrete.
