Emery admits Arsenal were spiralling 'and I couldn't stop it'
Posted Monday, December 30, 2019 by Tribalfootball.com
Unai Emery believes defeat to Sheffield United sparked the downward spiral which led to his sacking by Arsenal.
Emery was dismissed after a run of seven games without a win, as the Gunners' confidence crumbled and fans grew more and more hostile at the Emirates.
"The game against Sheffield United was a bit of a turning point," he said - speaking in Spanish - during an interview on Guillem Balague's YouTube channel.
"In one month everything got broken and we were incapable of winning a game in seven. The tension - which was based on the question we were asking of 'what's happening to us'? - was like a rolling ball that was just getting bigger and bigger.
"The coach is the first person to come into the spotlight, I have lived this at other clubs but I have managed to conquer it by getting the team back on track.
"But the truth is that month at Arsenal was terrible."
He also admitted: "I spoke to the players three or four weeks before the process began to tell them things were not going well and I couldn't see the team I pictured on the field, I couldn't identify what I was looking for.
"We certainly failed to be a unit that opposition would struggle to get the better of."
