Unai Emery provides update on Mesut Ozil and Ramsey, sends message to the fans: Press Conference

After a 4-2 win over Tottenham, Hotspur Arsenal are ready for Wednesday night’s trip to Old Trafford, with Unai Emery set to take on under-pressure Jose Mourinho and his Manchester United side. Ahead of the game, Arsenal boss Unai Emery has faced the press. Still not finished looking over yesterday's win I haven’t finished my analysis of the game, I need more time because I started this morning but then we trained and after I’ve been with you, I will continue the analysis. The picture is better but we are very demanding of ourselves to find more things to improve. For example. we conceded two goals yesterday and we need to improve in these situations defensively. I think there were more positive things yesterday. On landing a big three points I enjoyed the big atmosphere for every supporter because I know it’s special for them. After I was calm and I knew it was three points. Emery on Torreira I think it’s amazing, all the performances of the players. Individually we want that they can recognise good matches with scoring, with getting better in each match. I think Torreira deserved this moment (the goal) to help us. Title contenders? At the moment, one thing is clear: some teams have an advantage [over] us. One is very clear, it’s Manchester City. The difference between their points and our points. But also for the goals and conceding goals, there’s a big difference to us. Another difference [is] between Liverpool and our moments [which are] not very big, but I think it’s an important difference also. With the performances, with the points, with the goals scored and conceded, we are the same as Chelsea and Tottenham - that’s the reality. Emery on Ramsey Two months ago we spoke together, both for his moment, his present and future. I think it was a very good conversation. I said to you also here in the press conference that I want his focus only on the team, on giving us his performances. His present is as I want, and his future is very important for him and his family. We need calm and to do the difference between his future and his present now. I think in the last matches his focus [is there]. We were speaking between us [the coaches] and I look at him in every match. His focus is positive for us, it helps us. He needs to think about his future, for his family and for him. If he plays like yesterday, it’s the best for him and the best for us. Emery on Ozil I said yesterday he’s had a backache since last Tuesday. He couldn’t play in Kiev or yesterday. At the moment, I don’t know if he can play in Manchester. Today he was working alone, I don’t know if he’s okay for Wednesday. Emery on the banana was thrown at Aubameyang I don’t accept this behaviour, and nobody accepts it. I think the [police] are doing their work. On heading to Manchester United It’s a new match, a new challenge, a big challenge. It’s away and we need to continue improving our minds away. We know we need to change to get more competitive away. I think the team is doing that, but it’s a new challenge because we’re going to play against Manchester United away, and the challenge is bigger than other matches. For us, it’s a very exciting match. The preparation for this match is also a big motivation for us. It gives me a big motivation for Wednesday. If we are stronger now, we need to [show that] on Wednesday. Emery calls on fans to keep singing 'We've got our Arsenal back" I can feel proud, but above all, I think we need not stop. To me, we need to improve things, because it’s very demanding in the Premier League, with big players, with big teams. I’m proud but want to continue with humility on our way. Emery explains how half-time went First, it was about being calm. We changed small details but what’s been most important for me at half-time is to be calm, to give them confidence, because maybe yesterday we were 1-0 up and then we finished the half 2-1 down. Give them confidence on the best moments in the first half, to repeat that in the second half. Change something special - I changed two players at half-time, but not because Iwobi and Mkhitaryan were doing badly, but because we needed to change and push with different players. I explained yesterday that Aaron has experience in derbies like yesterday, and the second was that I thought we could do better with players with the capacity to score against them.
