da fazobetai: Unai Emery has made a real impression on the Premier League, not just for turning Arsenal’s fortunes around with a 22-match unbeaten run, but for his willingness to adapt his tactics, rotate the squad and make many, many half-time substitutions.
The interval changes often inspired the Gunners to some memorable come-backs and victories, including a 4-2 victory in the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur in early December.
This quality often made Emery unpredictable, flexible and hard to prepare against for opposition managers, and perhaps this is part of the reason why Arsenal’s form against the Big Six has improved so significantly this season.
However, Emery oversaw an awful display from the Gunners at Wolves on Wednesday night, and James Olley, London Evening Standard’s Chief Football Correspondent, quite rightly pointed out that Emery opted not to make an early change in the match, a ploy he’s been happy to adopt all season.
However, many fans were quick to jump to the defence of their Spanish manager, agreeing with Emery’s change to his usual approach due to the lack of quality on Arsenal’s bench…
It’s worth noting that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was unavailable for Arsenal, as was Denis Suarez, leaving their attacking options looking very scarce for the trip to Wolves. The choice to revert to a back four over a back five will have also meant the inclusion of another midfielder or forward, so Emery entered the game with depleted options in attack.
Eddie Nketiah looked very bright when he came on for the Gunners, and could perhaps be their wildcard for the final run-in.
