JOIN USA 2-1 defeat at Bolton Wanderers on Sunday left their hopes hanging by the thinnest of threads as the London side trail leaders Manchester United by nine points with four games to go.
Wenger's side have won admirers for their neat passing game and fluid attacking play but with the trophy cabinet lacking any new silverware since 2005, some former players have questioned the approach.
“If you ask most Arsenal fans they'd maybe forgo the easy-on-the-eye free-flowing football to be able to grind out results and have a different way of playing to win trophies,” ex-Arsenal winger Perry Groves told Sky Sports.
“I am convinced we are a very good footballing side,” Wenger said on the club's website.
“We have not been stable enough defensively. We have conceded six goals this week at a moment where you cannot afford to concede six goals in three games and win the championship. If you can convince me that the principles are wrong, then I am ready. But I feel we try to play football the proper way ... I think if something is wrong in our team, it is not the principle of playing our football.”
Local media have reported that prospective new owner Stan Kroenke will make 40 million pounds ($63.75 million) available for transfers.
Pictures of Wenger crouching on the touchline with his head in his hands dominated the British newspapers on Monday after the last-minute defeat in Bolton and the Frenchman was quick to shoulder the blame for the collapse in the season.
“If somebody is to blame, it's me. I pick the team. I choose the players,” Wenger said. “I feel the players had an outstanding attitude this season. They are not to blame.
“The (title) chances are very minimal now, that is for sure, but we have to continue to fight.”
