Emery
The job has not been easy for Emery
The Stamford Bridge defeat saw Emery become the first Arsenal manager to lose his first two games in charge since Burtenshaw lost 3 games in 1986. Emery has an uphill task ahead especially since the Gunners were being managed by Arsene Wenger for 22 long years. Mkhitaryan also said that Emery is trying to build upon the philosophy of Wenger.
