Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is unfazed by recent criticism and only concentrating on recovering from his side's current slump.
Things have changed quickly for the Portuguese as after winning his first three Premier League games in charge and being named August's manager of the month, three successive defeats have now seen him coming under early pressure.
The manner of performances in 3-0 losses to Crystal Palace and Chelsea were concerning, but the way they sank to a dismal 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday has had the alarm bells ringing.
"I'm not worried about the judgements," Nuno said ahead of Thursday night's Europa Conference League tie with FC Mura of Slovenia.
"What I'm worried about is how we can play better. How can we play better? The judgement, and the criticism, and the opinion and all of that is all part of it.
"And we have to deal with that, we have to deal with that. That doesn't interfere with the way we work, it can only distract us.
"I'm very simple, telling you my focus is how can we improve, how can we improve.
"The criticism is normal. You've been in football, I've been in football, everybody that is on screen knows how this industry works.
"When you don't play good, and you don't perform, and the results don't go along, criticism is something that you have to deal with. So we understand it, it's up to us to react and to change it."
Tottenham initially overlooked Nuno in their search for Jose Mourinho's successor due to his style of play, which is at odds with chairman Daniel Levy's pursuit of the 'Tottenham DNA' - something he defined as "free-flowing, attacking and entertaining" football.
Nuno's side have definitely not delivered on that front so far as they have had less shots than any other Premier League side, created less chances from open play and covered less distance.
The former Wolves boss insists he is aware of what is expected.
"I have been told. And everybody knows. It's football," he said. "Everybody wants to play good, everybody wants to play offensive, everybody wants to score. This is what we chase.
"Sometimes it's not possible but we're aware that this is what we want to do. But it takes a building process to achieve it. And we're trying."
