Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has criticized his club players for lacking a "winning mentality."
Fabregas has been out of action for almost a month after picking up a hamstring injury in the 1-1 draw with Sunderland.
Since then, Arsenal has lost back-to-back Premier League games, going down 3-2 to West Brom at home before losing 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, The Sun reports.
Fabregas has now asked his players to raise their game.
"A winning mentality is missing. I'm very comfortable here, I like the club, lead the team and play football but we need to start winning titles because we have a wealth of quality," he said.
Fabregas came close to joining Barcelona in the summer only for Arsenal to turn down a 29 million pounds offer for their striker.
Fabregas reiterated his desire to one-day play in Barcelona's shirt.
He told Spanish radio station Cadena Cope: "I maintain that I was right because [to play for Barcelona] is a dream I've had since childhood. But the truth is that Arsene Wenger is like a second father to me. I told him what I thought.
"There were difficult moments. In the end, when I spoke to Wenger he told me no he was very emphatic, that the transfer was impossible. I'm satisfied for all parties. It wasn't to be and that's that, though in my head I keep thinking it could have been a good opportunity."
