Martin Keown blasts Unai Emery for what he did during Arsenal's loss to Rennes

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has questioned Unai Emery's decision-making, after Arsenal fell to a 3-1 defeat in France in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 clash on Thursday night. "It was a total disappointment," remarked Keown. "Arsenal were ill-disciplined and it's cost them. There were several decisions for the manager to make and he got them all wrong really. "There was a real lack of urgency and that ill-discipline has really cost Arsenal tonight. "I know Emery has got an incredible record in this competition and it's not over yet but they are going to have to show some real spirit and they really did make it hard for themselves. "It seemed to me that the decisions Emery made just didn't work. I don't know why he took off Aubameyang and tried to play without a striker. As the team with 10 men I thought he would be the man you would want to have on the counter. "The ill-discipline seems to be creeping into the team and it needs to be sorted. It's costing them at the moment."
