Granit Xhaka insists no-one at Arsenal are hiding from their dismal start to the season.
The Gunners compounded a 2-0 defeat by Brentford on the opening weekend of the season by losing Sunday's London derby by the same scoreline against a Romelu Lukaku-inspired Chelsea.
"Of course," Xhaka replied when asked if the team are motivated by criticism.
"A lot of people try to speak and to kill a little bit the players and the team but the strongest thing to do at the moment is to be together, and only together will we be stronger and give the results on the pitch after.
"We want to achieve something big, of course. After two games a lot of people are speaking about this team and about this club but I will say, no season finishes after two or three games.
"We still have games in front of us, we know we have to improve a lot of things and I'm sure we will do that."
