Despite winning their last three games in all competitions, there is apparently an air of uncertainty at Arsenal behind the scenes.

Unai Emery is now into his second season as Gunners boss and the fan opinion appears to be divided about the Spaniard.

At times the team have played some fine stuff – the kind of stuff Arsenal are supposed to be associated with.

But there have been instances, particularly from a defensive point of view, where the football has not been so great.

Interestingly, The Mirror report that some Arsenal players have had some concerns about the former Paris Saint-Germain boss’ tactics – against Liverpool there was some confusion about the narrow setup against the Reds, who have two of the most attacking full-backs in Europe.

The Mirror also claim that Emery’s ‘poor’ grasp of the English language sees him become ‘a bit of joke’ on the training ground.

TBR’s view

Arsenal fans will hope there is little truth to The Mirror’s claims.

Emery is a likeable character and it is clear how hardworking and passionate he is about the Arsenal project.

On a few occasions this season his tactics have been questionable, with the Liverpool game obviously the most puzzling.

The 47-year-old has actually managed to avoid defeat since the Anfield humbling and it is the Gunners’ only defeat of the season so far, so perhaps these ‘worried’ individuals just need to trust the process and accept the Liverpool game as a mere blip from the manager.
