One goal wins is not always scraping
We were comfortable v Newcastle. Did they even create anything?
And second half we were dominant v Burnley and should've put them to bed. Hardly scraping

You watched the game and many other opening games. Were not even close to full strength but you want full strength performances immediately.
New players will take time to adapt.
Players like Nelson and willock are finding their feet.
Luiz debut.
Pepe home debut.
Laca coming back from injury.
Monreal and AMN third and second string players.
Yet you're consistently ignoring all that and are disappointed because we dont look like title contenders.
Just try and look at things objectively for a bit and you might have a better time watching us at under half strength until we can put out a proper starting 11.

I like the passion Emery has shown this season but we are simply not playing well enough.
Arsenal shouldn't scrap wins against relegation candidate Newcastle and Burnley at Home.

God the excuses keen on coming. Newcastle were playing their first games under a manger facing mass fan unrest and bedding in multiple new players. We scraped a win against them.
Next two games we will see where we’re at. I’d love to be wrong but I just can’t see what Unai has brought to the table since he’s arrived.
