Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has denied any unrest in the dressing room.
Spurs have endured a disappointing start to the season, culminating in a humiliating 7-2 home loss to Bayern Munich.
The Champions League group stage defeat has prompted much soul searching among the playing staff.
But Alderweireld denies any unrest among the players that could have led to a drop in performance.
"Sometimes you're up there and sometimes you're in the corner where you get slapped," the Belgian said to reporters.
"But you have to fight a way out of the corner. And that's the moment we're in now.
"Everybody cares, and we've been in difficult situations before and every time we come out, and this is very difficult, but like I said, we will come out of it.
"It's important to know what is the reality and how everybody's committed to the club and it's a shame sometimes people don't see how much effort we as players put in this club. We are having our commitment questioned. But it is nothing to do with this. You know, nothing, nothing.
"I think sometimes it's a shame that nobody can see the work ethic everybody brings to this club. Everybody's hungry and wants to work hard."
