Unai Emery’s Nightmare Intensifies As Arsenal Face EUROPA Crash Out

Arsenal manager Unai Emery is under pressure as Daichi Kamada’s double earned Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Spaniard came into this Europa League match having failed to lead his team to victory in their previous six outings, and this latest defeat is Arsenal’s longest winless run since February 1992.

At full-time the Spaniard appeared to make a gesture to the sparse home support as they jeered him, with some holding ‘Emery Out’ posters having watched their side surrender control against a team who were a clear second best in the first period.

However, Arsenal can still qualify for the last 32 if they avoid a heavy defeat at Standard Liege in their final Group F game.  

Emery’s nightmare also extends to the Premier League where they are 19 points behind League leaders Liverpool. 

His side have only won four of their 13 games and are eight points adrift of the top four.

The 48-year-old, was given the task of moulding a new Arsenal after succeeding Arsene Wenger in 2018, and just shortly he is at odds-on with some bookmakers to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job.

With the rumours of Emery’s possible sack, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is a front runner to likely replace the Arsenal boss at the Emirates. Tottenham former boss Mauricio Pochettino is also a likely replacement.
