Unai Emery takes a sly dig at Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has asked the fans to be patient following their disappointing run of form. The Gunners are currently placed 5th in the table and 10 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Emery also reminded the fans about how he is trying to bring back the competitive mentality that lacked during Arsenal

“Sometimes we forget the memory and we need to remember,” he said in quotes reported by the Evening Standard.

“When I arrived here, this team needed to improve being more competitive.”

“This team in the history was winning 1-0 and being very competitive, but it wasn’t enough. Then one process being competitive and with improved creativity.”

“When I arrived here, creativity is more or less good, but being competitive was worse. It was not enough.”

“I think last year I started to improve being competitive, also more or less creativity with some very good matches playing with that creativity.”

“The supporters, there are a lot of supporters with different opinions. Some want more creativity, some want maybe more intensity, more energy. I want both and my way is both, both sometimes one player is less with than that another because this is the way.”

“We are playing for our supporters and my message is that we are going to carry on with patience, and tomorrow they will feel this team is playing as we want and also transmitting energy and playing good.”

“My idea is being competitive, creativity and getting here. We are in one process with some young players – patience!”
