Premier League Matchday One: Who’s hot and who’s not

Arsenal FC v Manchester City - Premier League
Man City outclassed Arsenal at the Emirates

Not- Unai Emery (Arsenal)

Arsenal FC v Manchester City - Premier League
Emery's first game in charge of Arsenal ended in defeat

Nobody expected it to be an easy transition for Arsenal as Arsene Wenger was replaced by Unai Emery at the helm. Things were made even tougher when the fixture list produced a nightmare pair of opening fixtures- champions Manchester City at home, and Chelsea away.

In his first match in charge of the Gunners, he was shown just how great a task he has at hand, as he saw his side brushed aside by Man City,

It would have been a massive surprise if his side had been as good as City, but the fact that they were outclassed in such a fashion should be a worry for him. His side struggled to keep possession, consistently lost the ball in dangerous areas, and particularly in the first half, struggled to create chances.

As the transfer window ended before the season got underway, Emery is stuck with this group of players, so will hope he can find a way to make them better in the coming weeks.
