Arsenal boss Unai Emery reveals crunch squad talks over dismal away form

Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits he's been talking with his players this past week about fixing their away form.

The Gunners are at Watford on Monday.

Emery said: “We were speaking in the dressing room about how we can fix our problem.

“We spoke a lot about that and what we need to win, to improve, to create. We need sometimes patience, patience to create and improve the spirit.

“We can be critical of ourselves for our away performances but also knowing that with consistency in our mentality we can create and build up better performances away and I'm sure we're going to find it.

“Each match is a big challenge for us to be competitive and be closer to the result for us.

“I think we are consistent this season but if we need to improve something, it's our away form.

“But away, we have examples of when we can play with a good performance. We are going to try each match to do that.

“On Monday we are going to fight a lot because they [Watford] are going to push a lot. They are in a good moment, they are going to play in the final of the FA Cup against Manchester City and against us they are going to play with a big ambition to beat us.

"In the Premier League, if we win we can continue in fourth in the table and I think we must show everybody we can finish in this position, but knowing it is going to be very difficult and the difficulty is Monday against Watford."
