Emery To Arsenal fans: Don't Get Carried Away

Arsenal supporters have had much to be excited about in recent weeks as they look forward to a 10th win a row in all competitions 

After the lows of the last two seasons under Arsene Wenger, Arsenal supporters have had their expectations exceeded by new manager Unai Emery. Despite losing their two opening fixtures of the season, the Gunners now find themselves just two points off top spot in the league and now look to stretch their winning run to 10 games in all competitions after going on a fantastic run showing glimpses of their old selves.

With a win on Monday night Arsenal  will mark the first time in 11 years where they've won 10 matches in a row. As expected Gunners fans are thrilled about how the season will unfold which has lead some fans to believe that the old Arsenal is back.

However, Emery insists its too early to come to that conclusion considering the nature of their recent results and insists the Gunners are still very much a work in progress.

“I am not agreeing totally with the response of the supporters. I think we need to improve a lot. I think we have to continue doing a lot of the things to get better.

“Our demands need to be very high. The supporters can enjoy it with us but also we’re speaking with our reality every day. We need to improve because for example the match against Fulham was a very good result and a very good game for 90 minutes. But in the first 45 minutes I thought we needed to do better.

“If we are remembering the last match at the Emirates [against Watford], we won but not playing like we want, with the control against the opposition. For me now, the most important thing is not to rush.

“The next game against Leicester is very big, very difficult. Leicester are a very good team and play with a clear identity under Claude Puel. They are very competitive, have very good players and we need every single player, and our mentality together to be stronger than in the last match.”
