Under-fire Ulster boss Les Kiss has vowed to put things right at the Belfast club following last weekend's 44-16 hammering at Connacht.
Kiss's charges leaked six tries as they sunk to a morale-sapping defeat in Galway but will have to lift themselves for Saturday's inter-provincial home derby clash with Munster.
"There is criticism and that's fine but my job is to not be sucked into that vortex," the 53-year-old Australian told the Belfast Telegraph.
"My job is to stay on this and I believe what we're doing is the right thing and we've got to respond on Monday (against Munster).
"That noise is out there. It's been out there for a while and I understand it," he added of criticism that has come his way over Ulster's already unconvincing performances before Connacht beat them last weekend.
"We always feel pressure. It's not something you escape. It's something you revel in as well, you want to be able to stand up to it and fight against it.
"But ultimately it isn't about me. I haven't read one thing on social media.
"It is about the team and my job along with the coaches is to get it together and crystallise what this means to us and do the job on Monday. That's my focus."
For Munster, Kiss will have South African Jean Deysel back for the first time since October while Charles Piutau, Christian Leali'ifano, Stuart McCloskey and Rob Herring should also return.
But Sean Reidy is out along with Chris Henry, Tommy Bowe and Rory Best.
