Published on November 29, 2019, Arsenal's defeat to an unnamed opponent has left the team winless in their last seven games. The pressure on manager Unai Emery continues to mount, with reports linking potential replacement candidates to the post.
Despite the adversity, Emery remained optimistic, highlighting the team's improvement in their performance. He stated, “I think we improved.”
Emery pointed out the team's control in the first half, where they were winning 1-0, and created chances to score a second goal. However, the team lost control in the second half, allowing the opponent to score two goals and ultimately seal the win.
