Arsenal boss makes huge demands

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has demanded the Gunners’ entire squad to improve defensively.

The north London club is without a clean sheet this season and ahead of weekend’s clash against Everton, Emery has called on his every player to improve defensively. The Gunners welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, having won their last four matches in all competitions.

A 4-2 Europa League victory over Vorskla Poltava on Thursday added to Premier League successes against West Ham, Cardiff and Newcastle.

“First, the confidence with our defensive players. Second, working tactically to be more compact. But not only for the defensive players but for the whole team, the whole 11. With this process, I think we also need time, but it’s our first disappointment from the first games of the season. We need to improve this,” he said.

Emery made eight changes for the first European match of his tenure as the likes of Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette dropped out of the starting line-up.
