Emery will face challenges on and off the pitch going into his first year There has been plenty of discussion since last month’s slightly surprising appointment of Unai Emery as to whether he will be able to unite the fans and finally help the Gunners find that extra two percent to rise from perennial also […]
Top ten points Unai Emery needs to address….. It’s good to have a manager who is geared towards solving our key issues. But then what should he do exactly, as our new head coach? This is a take on what I’d like to see him achieve: Europe should be an Emery aim […]
