Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw says they must stick together after a difficult week.
Arsenal swept aside an injury-hit Leeds side at Elland Road, piling more misery on a fanbase which watched their side lose 7-0 to Manchester City in midweek.
Speaking to LUTV, Forshaw said: "It's a tough one to take again. We weren't great again (in the) first-half unfortunately and we rallied at half-time, and I felt like we put a performance in second-half. There was a slight sniff after the goal went in for 3-1 but the fourth goal was a sucker punch.
"It's hard to analyse now, we'll have to look back on the game and go from there but they had quality players in the final third and they punished us unfortunately."
He continued: "Times are tough for us at the moment, there's no denying it. Without making too many excuses, we've got covid cases this morning, we've got illness in the group, nine fit first-team players unfortunately so we're stretched, we're counting on young lads and hopefully it'll be good experience for them in the future.
"It's been hard but I don't want to complain about it too much, unfortunately we haven't got the help from anyone, the games go ahead and we just have to prepare for Liverpool as well for the next game and keep working hard as we do."
