Rosicky urges Arsenal not to turn on eachother

Tomas Rosicky has urged Arsenal not to turn on eachother.

Rosicky can understand the frustrations of Arsenal fans at their slump in form, but insists if everyone pulls together the Gunners can turn things around.

"I can understand the frustrations, I am an Arsenal fan as well when I was not playing," said Rosicky, who has just returned to action after being sidelined since aggravating his Achilles problem ahead of the European Championships.

"It is understandable, but also on the other side we have some young guys as well and this is definitely not helping them. We have to all stick together, which is what we did last season when everyone was writing us off and we came back stronger.

"You could feel the great atmosphere we created at the Emirates with performances against Tottenham and AC Milan [in last season's Champions League].

"I have been in professional football for a very long time and that was without any doubt the best atmosphere I have ever played in. Of course we have to win the people again, that is the challenge.

"It will be difficult, there is no doubt about that, we are capable of doing it again.

"If we are all on board, Arsenal is a great place to play football, but we have to stick together and fight."
