Arsenal news: Unai Emery plots defensive improvement in 2019
Unai Emery hopes to improve Arsenal’s defence in 2019 following another shaky showing at the back against Fulham.Despite triumphing 4-1 on New Year’s Day, the Gunners were grateful for some woeful finishing from their opponents, who really should have scored two or three times at the Emirates.This performance came just a few days after Liverpool ran riot against Arsenal to complete a 5-1 rout of the north Londoners, and it is clear questions remain over Emery’s back line.2

Emery’s side recovered from their thrashing at the hands of Liverpool to beat Fulham

Signing a new centre-back in January is believed to be a priority for Arsenal, and Emery has made it clear getting his defence up to scratch is an aim he hopes to achieve this year.“Our challenge now is to improve defensively,” he said following the defeat of Fulham.“We are very happy with the attacking players and scoring a lot of goals like today. We are high team in terms of scoring. “We need defence also to take more balance and improve. We need to work. We need to prepare for the second half of the season.“We need to do better in the second half of the season, tactically and we are going to do that.”Emery played down a negative reaction from some Arsenal supporters after his decision to replace Lacazette for Ramsey was met with jeers.The substitution was booed by a large number of fans, although Ramsey – who has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich with his Arsenal career set to end when his contract expires – put the game beyond doubt with the third.“I understand the supporters,” he said.2

“I need to do my work. Tactically we thought in that moment we needed to change for more balance. Above all we know (Jean Michael) Seri is coming on and need a player close to him, not to let him play easily with the ball.“Aaron Ramsey can do that and also help us in attack and scored. The reason is this. I need to do my work. And not maybe because every supporter can have a different opinion, tactically can do.“But I need to do my work. Lacazette his work and he scored also. He helped us and it was a very positive reaction.”
