Arsenal players becoming frustrated with stale training sessions under Emery

Some Arsenal players are growing increasingly frustrated with Unai Emery's training methods.

The Gunners criminally blew a two-goal lead to draw with Watford last Sunday, with lacklustre defending at fault for both goals.

Emery was criticised for his tactics and decision making during the match, which saw Watford accumulate 31 shots.

It isn't only the problem Emery is facing as his players have become increasingly frustrated with his refusal to practice pressing in his training sessions.

The Athletic says Emery does not view pressing as an essential tactic to work on in training.

This has annoyed some of his players who want to see Emery change up his training methods.

The Spaniard is still liked by his playing group, but that could change if the situation continues this season.
