Should I say, I’ve lost faith? or Its too mainstream now? – Well, despite of what you’d call it – fact remains that Unai Emery is struggling at the moment and that needs to change soon or probably we’d have to change him soon!
Last couple of weeks have been full of negativity and controversies at London Colney, So WHAT NOW?
Last week Lucas Torreira’s agent made claims that the Uruguayan isn’t happy with his role up ahead and in-fact it is something Arsenal supporters have even shown frustration about. But Unai stays on his claims to play Lucas in a forward role and has asked him to improve rather than tell him over what his best position is.
When Emery was quizzed about the recent conflict about Torreira’s best role, the Spaniard told Football London: “But what is a defensive midfielder? We need that position for the capacity to build up, it’s a big responsibility.
“He can play as a defensive midfielder but we need a defensive midfielder [to be] offensive because the build up for us is very important. At the moment he is in that process. He can learn and improve but needs time, and at the moment to give him that responsibility as a defensive midfielder but building up and creating a lot of combinations with our team, he needs more time.
“At the moment for his position on the pitch he’s helping us with two midfielders because the pressure he deposits was the best of our midfielders and his capacity to get in the box, to get opportunities to score, is very good for the team.”
