On November 9, 2019, Arsenal suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester City, dealing a significant blow to their top-four ambitions.
Despite the setback, Unai Emery, the Spanish-born tactician, remained optimistic about the team's prospects, urging fans to exercise patience and understanding.
Emery acknowledged that the team had undergone significant changes, with many young players joining the squad, and that they needed time to gel and develop.
"We need time and patience. We have changed a lot of players and we have a lot of young players," Emery told Sky Sports in a post-match conference.
He also expressed confidence in the team's ability to achieve their goals, stating, "We are going to achieve. We have had a lot of circumstances that haven't helped but with consistency, we can do it."
Emery's comments came as a response to the criticism the team had faced following their recent slump, which has seen them winless in their last four Premier League matches.
