Alexandre Lacazette has suggested that the Arsenal players are not working hard enough.
Head coach Unai Emery is under immense pressure at the Emirates with the Gunners eight points adrift of the top four.
The Gunners have not won in their last four Premier League matches, with defeat against Leicester the latest in a string of results that has piled the pressure on the Spaniard in charge at the club.
Emery has been criticised for his tactics on numerous occasions, with Arsenal struggling at both ends of the pitch.
And what Lacazette has had to say about the situation will not go down well with the supporters.
The French striker, who will have a two-week break having not been called up for international duty, said after the defeat to Leicester: "We miss confidence and we need the international break.
"I hope we are going to come back well. We need to work more than we do now to find confidence."
The "work more than we do now" line is an interesting one, hinting that he and his team-mates are not putting in the required effort to get results currently.
Lacazette added: "We have to work again and keep working everyday. But I think we didn’t play so bad, we just missed our chances in the first half.
"We want to be top four of course. Now we are nine points behind Chelsea and Leicester and it is going to be hard but everything is possible in football.
"We still have time until the end of the season. We are going to work to come back."
