Arsenal defender Johan Djourou is happy to see the pressure ease on manager Arsene Wenger.
The Swiss was shocked by the backlash against Wenger during their form problems earlier in the season.
He told the Mirror: "The manager is a great servant for the club, he's been here for so long, is a great manager and of course you feel for him. He doesn't deserve defeats like that.
"He puts so much effort into the team, gave the chance to young players, he really trusts the players and the blows were difficult to take for us and for him as well.
"He doesn't deserve it and we're a lot better than that.
"We have to climb the table now, because we're not in our right place at the moment.
"The top four is the minimum for us. We've been in it for a lot of years now. We want to be even higher but with the position we're in now we want to be realistic, take it game by game and show our quality."
