Mikel Arteta was warned he is now under enormous pressure after Arsenal crashed out of Europe against Villarreal.
Arteta insisted he still has faith in his ability to manage Arsenal, but is braced for the focus on his future to ramp up following his side's woeful exit.
Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Arsenal produced a lacklustre response in the return leg at the Emirates against former manager Unai Emery's side.
They hit the post twice through captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but managed just two shots on target.
