Emery has now taken charge of 47 games since being appointed last summer and when compared to predecessor Arsene Wenger’s last 47 matches, the Spaniard actually has a slightly worse record.
“In my career, it’s normal to have difficult moments and criticism for our work and my job,” Emery said.
“We are at one point of view. The supporters’ point of view and their opinion, we need to accept that.
“We lost a very big opportunity in the Premier League to go third in the table. We are fifth and have chances on Sunday. We have to get better but it’s one process.
“The most important is the club and team. Our objective is clear on where we want to get. I am very confident in the players, in our job, in our work, in the club strategy, and in our way.”
The performance against Sheffield United prompted familiar criticism of Arsenal’s mentality, with former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra describing them as “babies”on Monday Night Football.
However, despite their recent league struggles, Arsenal has the chance to make a quick recovery when they host Vitoria de Guimaraes in the Europa League on Thursday.
The Gunners have taken maximum points from their opening two games so far, scoring seven goals and conceding none.
“We need to think about how we can, little by little, progress and achieve our targets. Immediately that is to win,” Emery added.
“Really we are at the beginning. In this competition, we won two matches and played very well.”
