Arsenal attacker Ebere Eze says he is not paying attention to any of the outside noise about his side.
Eze joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace last summer, playing 42 times under Mikel Arteta in all competitions and scoring nine goals so far this season.
He and his Arsenal team-mates, along with boss Mikel Arteta, have come in for criticism of late following a run of three defeats in four games.
And asked about his feelings towards people who enjoy Arsenal struggling, he said: “I don’t care. To be honest I’m not interested in what people think and how they feel about us winning.
“I just know we’ve got a team that is more than capable and we’ve proven that we’re of the highest level and when we do win, it will be down to everyone else to deal with that I guess.
“I’ve experienced football for long enough now to know how to carry myself, how to operate, and how to be the best version of myself on the pitch.
“A lot of that is, to be honest, not caring about what you guys (the media) talk about and just doing what I do. I’m a professional and the one that plays and everyone has an opinion, everyone thinks they know what’s right.
“For me, and also my team-mates, I can see we’ve got the mentality of just letting go and doing what we do best.”

Eze also insists that this Arsenal squad has the belief and confidence to get over the line this season.
“I think this team is full of leaders, and whether you’re in the leadership group or not, you’re still able to have a voice, to speak and to say what you think,” he said.
“We all know the position that we’re in, the opportunity that we have, and what’s at stake.
“Loads of confidence, loads of belief in the group and it’s special to be around.
“But the focus is on the opportunity that we have and taking it with both hands.”
