Former Arsenal player, Martin Keown laid out the two reasons why Arsenal won’t fire Unai Emery right away.

When asked whether the Spaniard will face the sack ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Norwich City, Keown said, “I sincerely hope not. He is a good man and I sincerely hope he can turn it around.

“He’s lost his way but I think he will get the time because I don’t believe there’s a ready-made replacement for him and the club don’t want to be seen to be panicking.”

“Maybe he has taken the team as far as he can,” the former Arsenal and England defender added.

“We just witnessed an absolute shambles of a performance. The team motivation, the team selection, the performance, the subs, it was dreadful. He seems to have lost the players. The desire has ebbed away. The subs he made – you’ve got Pepe and Lacazette sitting on the bench when you’re trying to get back into the game.

“Emery might even feel he needs to step aside now. Change was needed under Wenger but now it looks like the club need to go in another direction again. This is relegation form.

“Do the club really realise how tricky this is going to be? Decisions have to be made otherwise they are going to plunge even further down the table. ‘It’s a sad day because we still love the club. It’s sad watching it.”
