Unai Emery is coming under fire from unhappy Arsenal fans
Some unhappy supporters turned on Spanish boss Emery after their 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.The result severely dented Arsenals top-four hopes as they slid down the Premier League table to sixth place, with Manchester United leapfrogging them into fifth.The Gunners looked well off the pace compared to the defending champions and fans are blaming boss Emery for their sides dip in form, having won just four games since their amazing 22-match unbeaten run was ended by Southampton in December.Twitter was awash with #EmeryOut following Sundays loss, and Parlour told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: Im amazed by that.Arsenal are where they are meant to be at the moment. Theyre not at the same level as Liverpool, Man City or even Spurs.Youve got to give this guy a chance, he needs to be backed by the club.You cant sack the manager already and Arsenal are not that sort of club anyway.Realistically I think youve got to give him a few transfer windows. I know he only brought in one player in January, but I think its going to take two or three windows to get the players he wants into the side. Certainly I think hes the man to take the club forward, and now hes got to be backed by the board.Any manager is going to struggle if they havent got players to bring in.You expect Man City, Man United and Chelsea to all spend and sign big players, so weve just got the stay in the hunt and try and compete with those clubs.What wins you trophies is better players, thats what Arsenal have to get if theyre going to do that, especially defensively.Realistically its going to take time. Youve got to give him a chance. To say Emery Out already, its harsh.
