EMERY’S GOT ALL THE RIGHT MOVES!

ONE of Arsene Wenger’s 10 commandments was to never bark orders at his players from the sidelines. His view was that when players had the ball, that was their moment to shine. He did not want to overload them with information. It is why Unai Emery’s dynamic demeanour — which was in full flow against Watford (above) — will have come as a shock to the Arsenal players. In the first few weeks of the season, they seemed to be taking their manager’s instructions too literally. Now, they are feeding off his energy. By being so animated, Emery is showing the desire, passion and work ethic he wants from his players. Wenger’s approach from the touchline was one of nurture. His successor is more demanding.
