Gilberto believes the next two
games are crucial in ensuring Arsenal's season does not peter out
into insignificance.
After losing in both the FA Cup and Carling Cup in the past week,
Arsene Wenger's side get back to Premiership action against Reading
on Saturday.
The Gunners then have a crucial UEFA Champions League second leg
tie against PSV Eindhoven, needing a win after a 1-0 defeat in
Holland.
Having lost three games in a row, Gilberto is hoping for a
confidence-boosting victory when The Royals visit Emirates Stadium
this weekend.
"The last few games have been disappointing and the coming days
won't be easy," Gilberto said in The Sun.
"We have to carry on, we have huge games coming up but it's hard
because we have only a few days to save the rest of our
season.
"I will speak to the young players and try to lift them because,
for them, it is even more difficult.
"It's frustrating for them and hard because they are carrying all
the responsibility for losing big games.
"But we need to stick together at this important time - and that
applies to everyone, the young guys and also the older
players.
"That is the only way that we can change our position."
