Jamie Carragher thinks Arsenal look “worse” at times under Unai Emery than they did towards the end of Arsene Wenger’s time in charge.

The Gunners lost 1-0 against Sheffield United on Monday night with a first-half goal from Lys Moussett condemning Emery’s side to their second loss of the season.
Arsenal would have gone back up to third with a win, instead they are fifth, four points off second-placed Manchester City and ten points behind leaders Liverpool.
“I don’t see anything different from when Arsene Wenger was there at the end. I don’t see it,” Carragher on Sky Sports.
“In fact, at times it actually looks worse. I think Sheffield United played better football in the first half than Arsenal and I don’t think you would have seen that under Wenger.
“It’s still early in his second season, but I think we’re getting to that stage near Christmas where you think ‘is Unai Emery the right man to take Arsenal into his third season?’
“I think that’s how it is with Arsenal supporters and within the club. I just expected something different.
“It’s just like seeing the same stuff. A lot of the time a manager is brought in because the manager before is not getting X, Y or Z right. But they are still getting rolled over every time they play a big game.
“Their away record is two clean sheets in 24 games, eight wins in 24. What’s changed? Nothing has changed.”
