Former Arsenal boss Unai Emery has accused some of his ex-players of not having “a good attitude” in stout defense of his 18-month reign at the Emirates Stadium.
The Spaniard was relieved of his duties in November last year after a run of seven games in all competitions without a win, with the Gunners eight points adrift of the Premier League’s top four.
He departed amid claims that he had struggled to motivate the club’s biggest names, although he has hit back at those suggestions and insisted he was turning things around.
Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette have both gone public with comments that they feel the team has united under new manager Mikel Arteta’s tactical philosophy.
“As a team, we are much happier and everyone wants to give everything for this club,” said Ozil.
