#4 Arsenal still have some defensive work to do

Arsenal v Vorskla Poltava - UEFA Europa League - Group E

Unai Emery admitted that they have a lot of work to do defensively in his post-match press conference. "It’s one thing. We are speaking before each match to take a mentality of ‘don’t concede chances easily’. I think today is a good opportunity for not accepting goals, but the last 30 minutes, we needed to be better on this competitive aspect," Emery said.

Apparently, the team seems to be lacking concentration in the final minutes of games. It was evident at Cardiff and Newcastle, and again yesterday as well. Emery thus needs to work on the mentality of his players.
