Bernd Leno has called on his Arsenal team-mates to stick together after yet another poor result.
Arsenal lost 2-1 to Everton on Saturday and sit 15th in the Premier League, with just 14 points from 14 games this season.
Mikel Arteta's side are also without a win since November 1, when they beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Despite his solid start to life at Arsenal, Arteta is presently struggling at the helm.
Reports of dressing room unrest have come to light in recent weeks, including the players' rumoured unhappiness with Arteta's public dressing down of Pepe.

Despite the dire situation the club are in, Leno is backing his side to turn it round.
"Of course, there's big disappointment, it hurts a lot," the Arsenal keeper said.
"It's not the time to feel sorry for ourselves.
"We have to stick together, we have to stay positive and this is the only way because on Tuesday we have another big game.

"We have to win games to come out of this situation and have a positive mood again.
"I think the second goal was probably the key because when you concede a goal right before half time it's always very difficult, especially in our situation," added Leno.
"I think in the second half we showed good body language, good attitude, so you can see this team is alive and we want to turn the situation around.
"Now the confidence is not on the top level but the only thing that can be said is we should stick together and come out of this situation.
"A lot of things are going wrong for us but we don't have time to feel sorry for ourselves, we have to fight for every ball, for our teammates."
