Former "Arsenal" player Paul Merson criticized the new club coach Unai Emery. According to the Englishman, this specialist has not yet been able to implement a new system among the players.
"I watched how the 'Gunners' played and if I didn't know, I would think that the team is still led by Arsene Wenger.
So far I don't see any changes in the game.
As far as I can see, "Arsenal" resembles performances in farewell or charity matches. The game is open, no one tries to aggressively take the ball, in reality everything happens like this: you attack my goal, and now I do.
I think "Arsenal" will finish in 6th place this season, if I speak completely honestly.
U. Emery is a good coach, but he needs time. He wants to implement a pressing game, but he doesn't have the right players. So, I think after a year we will see improvement," Merson said.
