Eibar boss Gaizka Garitano has insisted that his team have what it takes to overcome their recent struggles in La Liga.
The newly-promoted side impressed in the first half of the season, but Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Villarreal was their fifth loss in a row.
Garitano's side are still eight points clear of the bottom three, however, with 14 games of the season remaining.
"I look to the future with optimism. I see the team working with enthusiasm," Garitano has been quoted by AS. "We have our limitations but we have faced a lot of difficulties. Discouragement isn't a word in our dictionary. From tomorrow we prepare for the next game. Our struggle is daily and it doesn't stop."
Eibar will attempt to end their poor run of form when they welcome Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
