Bernd Leno says there are bigger problems at Arsenal than the manager.

The Gunners have yet to appoint a replacement for Unai Emery after the Spaniard was sacked earlier this month.

But after Sunday's loss to Manchester City, Leno insists the gap between Arsenal and their rivals comes down to more than their managerial vacancy.

"After four or five minutes the game was done. I think in the first half we deserved this result. In the second half we couldn't touch the ball and also couldn't create the chances," the shot-stopper told Sky Sports after the final whistle.

"At the moment we have to say there is a gap between [the top] teams. We have the quality but when you see the games we miss intensity, we are not fresh in our minds.

"It is good we have a week to work a little bit and speak about this situation, we have to change something in our minds."

He added: "It's good to know what is in the future or in the next weeks but that is not our job - it is the job of the club. We accept Freddie, he is doing a good job,"

"I don't think the manager is the problem, everyone has to look at himself and be honest at himself. If everyone was giving everything today - I think the mentality is the main thing."
