The Gunners eased to a 3-0 victory over Steve Bruce's out-of-form side on Monday night to condemn Newcastle to a fifth defeat in their last seven Premier League games.
Bruce made eight changes for the game at the Emirates Stadium but the visitors were undone in the second-half as a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace sandwiched a Bukayo Saka strike.
Another loss saw a 1,000-strong supporters group, 'Toon For Change', begin to actively campaign for Bruce to be sacked.
But Lascelles feels the club can turn things around, admitting the players are "annoyed" with their recent performances.
"I've been in a lot of tough situations over the years and it is just about how you deal with them," the Magpies skipper told NUFC TV.
"Every club goes through a spell, Arsenal I think went 10 without a win but have turned it around and we have the players to do that.
"So I think it is just important that we stick together, the managers, the staff and the players and keep trying to do the right things and hopefully it gets better.
"Of course, it is always tough. We are just annoyed at ourselves, disappointed with the situation we are in, we thought we would put in a better performance than that.
"First half was alright, second half was terrible so we really need to look at ourselves."
