Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery has criticised the attitude of some of his players during his time with the Gunners and said the club were on a "downward slope" when he arrived in 2018.
The Spaniard spoke to France Football (h/t Get French Football News) about his 18 months in charge of the club and the difficulties he faced replacing Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium:
"Arsenal was a club on a downward slope for two years before I arrived. We stopped this fall and even began to rebuild the club with the Europa League final and fifth place in the league, only one point off of Tottenham despite the fact that we took just one point in our final five matches.
