Emery Demands Improvement from Arsenal

By Daily Sports on August 16, 2019

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has demanded an improved performance from his players against Burnley, despite kicking off their Premier League campaign with a 1-0 win at Newcastle United last weekend.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang settled the contest with his goal just before the hour mark at St James’ Park to get the Gunners off to a winning start.

Next up for Arsenal is the home match with Burnley on Saturday, and Emery has called for a better all-round display if his side are to make it two wins from two.

“We need to improve. We were happy with the three points and we played seriously, but I want to improve on each position for us,” Emery said at Thursday’s news conference.

“We need to and can improve with the same players and other players who were out of that match. My idea is to be more competitive in each position.

“We worked very well that match, above all defensively we worked very compact. The balance, we must improve.”

Arsenal matched their Premier League away clean sheet tally for the whole of last season with their shutout against Newcastle, but they struggled to create much going forward.

“The build-up needs to be better,” Emery said. “We need better progress with our combinations and need to be safer each moment when we pass the ball between us.

“When we progress with the ball like a team we can find better positions and solutions in the attacking third.

“The clean sheet is important but the most important thing is to win. If we can win scoring a lot of goals, good. If we can have a clean sheet each match, it’s perfect.” (Goal)
