Barcelona winger Pedro has pleaded with the club's supporters to back all members of the squad.
The likes of Jose Pinto, Dani Alves and Cesc Fabregas have been singled out for criticism in recent weeks following some disappointing performances.
However, Pedro has asked the supporters to "be with" those that are facing difficult spells.
"We feel bad because they are teammates and work every day, but it's the fans who will decide," he told reporters.
"They are important players for us and we encourage them, and we ask the fans to be with them."
Barcelona recorded a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday evening.
