Arsenal manager, Unai Emery is not having a good time with the club because of mismanagement and poor recruitment decisions, according to Matthew Upson.
According to Matthew, Emery is slowly losing the support of the players and he might be one bad result away from getting the sack.
He believes that the former PSG coach actually had a decent first season in London but this season has not gone according to plan.
His words, “[A loss to Southampton] leaves [Emery] in real limbo because I think he’s struggling.
“I was at Leicester and I saw a really poor performance from Arsenal [in the 2-0 defeat].
“It was almost like they tried to cater to not get beat at Leicester who were on top form, and this is Arsenal, and never really got any kind of grip of the game.”
“Maybe, maybe that’s the case, maybe there’s already a loss of belief or whatever it may be in the manager.
“He came to the club Emery and he tried to change things, he tried to be more disciplined.
“Again you have to look at the recruitment don’t you. To spend what they have spent on an attacking wide player, with the other issues that need to be addressed in the team.
“I thought he had a decent first season. At the end of last season, you thought ‘[You’ve got] this summer now but you have to make progress this season’ and I don’t think they have.”
