Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has urged supporters to be patient with Unai Emery.
Some fans want the Spaniard sacked with the Gunners in the midst of a five-game winless run.
Henry said: "Challenging for the league…listen, it's going to be very difficult because even Manchester City look like they are struggling to follow Liverpool.
"Let's think about, first and foremost, getting back into the Champions League, which is going to be very difficult, and then from that, see where we can go.
"But all we can do right now as fans is try to support and give people time. It's not easy to come in after Arsene Wenger and perform straight away."
