Gunners ready to reload on the run

Arsene Wenger praised the mental strength of his forwards after Arsenal saw off QPR to make the ideal start to a demanding schedule of five matches in 17 days. A 2-1 victory at Loftus Road on Wednesday left the Gunners' manager relieved, with his side's position in the Premier League's top four cemented before focusing on overturning a 3-1 deficit in Monaco in two weeks' time in the Champions League last-16, second-leg. Olivier Giroud missed chances in Arsenal's home loss to Monaco which would have given the tie a different complexion at its half-way stage. And Alexis Sanchez had been on a run of seven matches without a goal, but he and Giroud scored within five second-half minutes to clinch Arsenal's seventh victory in eight matches, as it maintained its push to qualify for Europe's elite club competition for an 18th consecutive season. "We were all down after the Monaco game and we responded well against Everton and again today. I think the confidence that we got against Everton paid today," Wenger said. "He's strong mentally, Olivier. He can take some criticism and he's shown that but I feel it was a bit harsh for him. OK, he missed some chances... but that can happen." Arsenal had barely threatened the Rangers' goal before Giroud pounced on Kieran Gibbs' deflected cross to notch his eighth goal in his past 10 Premier League starts. Arsenal could have been two goals clear moments later when Sanchez opted to pass when one-on-one with Robert Green, before a more selfless moment allowed him to beat the Rangers keeper at his near post to end his barren run. "It's good because when you don't score for seven or eight games it is on your mind even if you say it's not," Wenger said. "But he took his chance well and he's tricky and has a short back lift and scored a good goal. He never gives up and that's the strength of a good striker as well. "He's resilient and I don't know what happened before. The fact that he still scored showed he has the mental strength to respond." The Rangers belied their lowly league position until Giroud made the breakthrough, with there being no discernible difference between the side battling for honors and the one fighting for survival. Rangers manager Chris Ramsey is a boyhood Arsenal fan but could find little satisfaction from his evening. "I'm just sick for the players today, sick for the way that we've not got anything out of the game," he said. "The players know that we are in the situation now because we haven't maximized our abilities, and they know that and are trying to address it." Reflecting on images of his friend and former Tottenham colleague Tim Sherwood rejoicing after a crucial win as manager of relegation rival Aston Villa last night, Ramsey said: "There's nothing worse than seeing your rivals celebrating. "Hopefully it will be us celebrating at the weekend but we really can't focus on the other teams."   Arsenal's Olivier Giroud and teammate Tomas Rosicky celebrate the former's goal against Queen's Park Rangers at Loftus Road in London on Wednesday.
