Arsenal fans have been blasting Unai Emery after his pre-match press conference ahead of the Europa League tie against Vitoria S.C.
[freshpress-poll id=”250124″]
Emery said that the team wants to be ‘offensive’ and that their ‘mentality is offensive’ as he attempted to guarantee the fans that the right balance will be found (via Twitter).
Arsenal’s starting line ups have not been sitting right with some fans in recent games. In the most recent home clash against Bournemouth, Emery went with a midfield three of Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka and Dani Ceballos, a line up some thought wasn’t offensive enough (via Caught Offside).
Concerns over Emery’s line ups come amid the ‘shocking’ treatment of playmaker Mesut Ozil, who has started just two of the 12 games in all competitions this season (via Transfermarkt).
Fans continued the theme of blasting the former PSG manager as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from Gooners:

Let him first field players in their right positions

He should be defending himself and not the team. His team selection has been horrible to say the least!

He has got one of the best frontlines in Europe but still Aston Villa have more goals in the league than Arsenal. Absolutely pathetic.

Still “finding the right balance” after 18 months incharge. What a joke.
