Henrikh Mkhitaryan has echoed Gary Neville's claim that Unai Emery's philosophy must be given time to flourish at Arsenal.
The Armenia international has jumped to the defence of his new head coach, who drew criticism for his expansive approach in the Gunners' defeats against Manchester City and Chelsea.
Speaking on Monday Night Football, Neville disagreed with Jamie Carragher's suggestion that Emery needed to adapt his style to suit Premier League football.
And, in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News, Mkhitaryan said: "Everyone has their own opinion. We know very well what we are playing for and how we have to play.
"If we are just going to kick the ball up front and wait for God to give us a chance to score, it's not necessary.
"The only thing we have to do is to work hard, believe in ourselves and use the chances we create to score goals."
Mkhitaryan, who scored Arsenal's first goal in Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge - the first league goal of Emery's tenure - added: "It was pleasure to score and assist in a game against Chelsea.
