‘It’s ridiculous!’ – Adrian Durham tears into Arsenal fans, Unai Emery and Mesut Ozil after unbeaten run comes to a shuddering halt at Southampton
Adrian Durham tore into Arsenal after their 22-game unbeaten run came to an end at the weekend.Unai Emerys men were beaten 3-2 on Sunday by a spirited Southampton side who showed incredible resolve to claim all three points with just six minutes of normal time remaining.
5Emery looks on after defeat is confirmed at St Mary’sNew boss Unai Emery admitted finishing in the Champions League places would be tough for the Gunners after the defeat, but fans have every reason to be optimistic.Arsenla are just three points off rivals Chelsea in fourth, were drawn against BATE Borisov in the next round of the Europa League and face Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.However, talkSPORTs very own Adrian Durham is not convinced by the Spaniards tactical approach and questioned the levels of optimism emanating from the Emirates on Drivetime.This is ridiculous, he told Darren Gough. Theres one good result in this 22-game unbeaten run and that is the one against Spurs.
5Mesut Ozil was unable to have an impact on the gameOne good performance rather- the result against Liverpool is okay, but it is at home.But the performance against Spurs – that is the only one that stands out. So lets give it some perspective.Its a 22-game unbeaten run, but its not that impressive. Lets focus on yesterdays game and go through a few incidents.Leno – not good enough, okay? You can wow about him all you like with the ball at his feet, but he is hopeless.
5Bernd Leno was at fault for the winning goalMonreal goes down very easily. What should happen with Monreal is they should look at the two times he went down at least yesterday, virtually under no challenge, and he should be done retrospectively.He plays three at the back Emery when he only has two fit centre-halves. What kind of management is that?Brings on Ozil to win the game and they lose the game! Dont bring him on.Hector Bellerin limped off at St Marys to only further the injury crisis which has thus far plagued the north Londoners. Rob Holding is out for the season already, while Skodran Mustafi, Sead Kolasinac and Konstantinos Mavropanos have concerns over fitness.Laurent Koscielny started a Premier League game for the first time this season, after returning from a ruptured Achilles, but often struggled at St Mary’s.The injury to Holding is something Durham took particular umbrage with, imploring the club to spend in January.He added: Injury problems still haunting them, is that still an issue at the football club that has not been resolved?
5Rob Holding is out for the seasonFundamentally, what has happened yesterday is theyve lost the game for the first time after the 22-match unbeaten run. Rob Holding has got injured and Arsenal and Unai Emery could not cope.Now, that is not a great state of affairs to be in and they clearly need some squad strengthening in January.But three at the back in the first half, back four second half – does Lacazette start or not? He still does not know.How comes Aaron Ramsey doesnt start games when he has been in fine form? I dont get that at all.
5Ramsey changed the game against Spurs at the start of the monthWhile cup success seems to be the most likely route to success, a Europa League tie against BATE is unlikely to exhilarate fans at this stage of the season.And Durham believes the changing of the time for the first leg at the Emirates is a futile move by the club, taking aim at the fans this time.And lets have a look at the 22-match unbeaten run because it is a bit of a so-what right, he continued.The net result of a 22-game unbeaten run for Arsenal is this; theyre fifth in the table, 11 points behind the leaders Liverpool and theyve kept pace with Celtic in the Europa League. Thats what the 22-game unbeaten run has brought. So its not that impressive. Talking about the Europa League, theres another point about Arsenal.Theyve got this tie against BATE Borisov and it was originally down as a five oclock kick-off. Arsenal complained, so theyve moved it back to 5.55pm.Why did they complain? Because they said fans wouldnt be able to go. Fans dont go to their Europa League games anyway do they?They dont go! I mean the seats are going to be empty you can call it 59,000 seats sold, but they will be empty.
