Former Arsenal defender Paul Merson claims he has yet to be impressed by new Gunners coach Unai Emery.
Emery, who replaced Arsene Wenger in the summer, couldn’t prevent his side from losing their first two Premier League games, but since then the Gunners have won eight games from eight in all competitions.
And while Merson expects Arsenal to continue that streak by beating Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, he is expecting to see more from his former side.
Talking to Sky Sports, as quoted by the Daily Star, Merson said:
Fulham are a decent side at home so this will be another big test for Arsenal.
Fulham have to win their home games because it will be a struggle for them on the road. They’ll rely on winning at Craven Cottage to stay in the Premier League.
Fulham will have a go against Arsenal, who are also an open, attacking side.
I think Arsenal have been a touch fortunate with their results. They’ve won all these games on the trot but if you break it down they’ve not really been that impressive.
It could’ve easily gone the other way so Fulham will feel like they’ve got a chance, but in the end, Unai Emery’s side will edge it.
