Younes Kaboul insists Portsmouth's players are fully behind manager Tony Adams.
Since taking charge, the 42-year-old has earned only nine points from 30 in the Premier League and after a 4-1 home drubbing by West Ham on Boxing Day, Portsmouth are only three points clear of the relegation zone.
But Kaboul said: "We all think Tony is a great manager and we are all behind him.
"We have been unlucky and that is no reflection on Tony's skill as a manager. He is fantastic and I hate to see people criticising him.
"I want to help the boss out as much as I can. I even want to play against Arsenal even though I'm not fully fit."
