After being sacked for leading Arsenal through a clueless half-season, he has now come out and blamed the club and the fans for his multiple pointless decisions.
“There were several problems: four captains; the [Mesut] Ozil – [Sead] Kolasinac case; [Nicolas] Pepe’s signing, which needs time to be that of France … We didn’t play well, that’s for sure,” Emery told Spanish daily newspaper Marca.
“That brought us bad results, there was no improvement, the fans focused on me and they threw me out,” he continued. “But I keep the positive things, there were many.”
“I had the funeral and mourning,” Emery added. “After my cessation, I dreamed a month of things about Arsenal. It was a natural process. And I overcame that duel.
“When I no longer dreamed them, I already knew that I had overcome it. Now I am already feeding myself.
“Mikel has a lot of experience as a footballer and has worked alongside Pep [Guardiola], who is the best,” he said.
“He fits perfectly as an Arsenal manager. He is playing a 4-2-3-1, like ours. Ozil is still his No 10, and bit by bit he is finding his identity. But after my exit, the hostile atmosphere calmed down.
“The results have not been the best, but you have to allow time for that to happen.”
