4 Reasons why Unai Emery is suffering at Arsenal

#1 Inconsistent defenders

Fun fact: All of Manchester City's goal came from Arsenal's right flank, just where

Mustafi

and Lichteiner were deployed.

Unsurprisingly, Arsenal has conceded more goals than any other top 6 side in the Premier League (36), one less than Manchester United. They have suffered terribly at the back, due to injuries to their defenders.

To add a cherry at the top of the cake, their backup defenders have never been of top quality, getting thrashed against the top dogs and fighting their way against smaller sides. With no reinforcements in January, Unai Emery has been appointed with the job to take Arsenal to Champions League football with Lichsteiner and Mustafi at the back, which is probably not going to happen.

Unai Emery is a world-class coach, no doubt. He has won a hattrick of Europa Leagues with Sevilla and he has proved himself to be of top brass. But his time at Sevilla still had better defenders than Unai Emery has now, at Arsenal.

Arsenal rarely goes a game without scoring, as their attacking aspects are of top quality. The likes of Aubameyang and Lacazette have lit up the scoring charts. The problem remains in the defence, and now, Emery has to turn Mustafi into Maldini, as that is the only way Arsenal can hope to finish 4th.
