Published on November 27, 2019, Arsenal manager Unai Emery is under increasing pressure in his second season in charge.
Emery, who took over after Arsene Wenger's nearly three-decade reign ended, has seen the team go six games without a win.
The 48-year-old Spaniard hopes a win in Thursday's Europa League match over Eintracht Frankfurt will begin the process of reconnecting with the Gunners' disgruntled supporters.
"As a coach each moment in my career is difficult," Emery said at his eve of match press conference.
"This is a very good but very hard job. My job is to prepare for the match, to show the best performance in front of our supporters," he added.
Emery's focus is on the match at hand, but the pressure is mounting as the team struggles to find form.
"We know our supporters were disappointed by the draw against Southampton, but we have the perfect chance to reconnect with our supporters," Emery said.
Victory may buy Emery a little time, but the players are getting restless, with striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang reportedly aborting talks over a new contract.
"We are working our socks off," said German defender Shkodran Mustafi.
"It is a day to day job to keep fighting, to keep improving," Mustafi added.
