5 things that could define Unai Emery's era at Arsenal

#4 'No’ to tenderness

Arsenal Training Session

Wenger has always protected his players in front of the media. It does shield the team against the pressure from the media and fans, but it also hinders the players to push for more. Unai Emery must be ruthless about discipline and shouldn't hesitate to drop players from the squad, whoever it may be, something Wenger was accused of not doing.

Patrick Vieira once told “Believing in players is one of Arsene’s greatest quality, but it is also his greatest weakness’.’ We have witnessed the underperforming players of the squad listed in the starting 11 time after time, drawing huge criticism even from the Arsenal fans. Unai Emery must not inherit this unwanted virtue from departing Frenchman.

Emery has evidently shown that tenderness is not a part of his professionalism, as he let the ‘Arsenal kid’ Jack Wilshere leave the North London outfit and join city rivals West Ham.
