Arsenal have much work to do and since the false dawn of their 22-game unbeaten run, they have lost six of their last 13 matches.

The Gunners continue to be vulnerable at the back, regardless of whether Emery plays three or four defenders.

He went with a three of Nacho Monreal, Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi at Huddersfield and they were troubled by the Terriers’ new attacking style under Jan Siewert, and by Adama Diakhaby in particular.

Emery insists Arsenal are a work in progress, yet it is hard to see much of that supposed progress.

“In football you can win, you can lose, you can draw,” he added. “The most important thing is in the head.

“You are thinking to create, little by little, one team feeling and spirit.
