Emery asks for patience at Arsenal

Unai Emery has asked the fans and the board at Arsenal to show patience in the face of yet another defeat versus Leicester City.

The Gunners were comprehensively outplayed by the Foxes at Leicester last night. However, the struggling boss remained defiant despite being on a 5 match winless streak in all competitions.

“We need time and patience. We have changed a lot of players and we have a lot of young players,” the Arsenal boss told Sky Sports. “We are going to achieve. We have had a lot of circumstances that haven’t helped but with consistency, we can do it.”

When asked what could be the outcome of his meeting with the club’s board, Emery added: “The most important thing is to be calm but step up in our intensity and our work.

Emery also said that: “I accept all the criticism. It is normal. I am speaking with the club to stay strong and recover. “I know we are receiving criticism but I have done before and I have recovered.”

“We need to recover our confidence. We need to be patient with some circumstances and we are going to do that.”
