Tony Adams:”I don’t know what Emery’s been doing for six weeks!”

Unai Emery’s first game in charge of Arsenal in the Premier League ended in 2-0 defeat to Manchester City. The Spaniard has been blasted for making little impact at the Emirates, with former Arsenal player Tony Adams questioning what the boss has been doing in pre-season. "It was the same kind of performance. I was a little bit deflated and disappointed. "Coming from Arsene who always played open attacking football, I really wanted the new manager to come in there and tighten things up. "For the last 10 years now – [we’ve been] leaking goals, soft away from home. "I wanted him to put his new goalkeeper [Bernd Leno] in, work with his back four, have two screening central-midfield players, and keep a clean sheet. "It was crying out for it. But I didn’t see that. I thought he got a lot of selections wrong. "His three best players were his subs [Alexandre Lacazette, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Lucas Torreira]. I don’t know why he didn’t start with them." He added: "I can’t see it. I don’t know what he’s been doing for the last six weeks. "He’s been rotating all of his players and giving them all a game. They’ve got some good results but it’s pre-season. "From minute one, I would’ve picked my own goalkeeper, my back four and put the two lads in that I want to screen those, and get a firm base that’s been missing for the last ten years. "You’ve had six weeks of pre-season – go on, get on with it! "Arsenal fans up and down the country all want him to challenge for the title but at the moment we’re nowhere near."
