Arsenal players are questioning the tactical approach of manager Unai Emery as he battles to save his job.

The Daily Mail says a number of players have serious reservations about Emery, who many believe is too conservative in his approach to games.

While the Spaniard's job is not under immediate threat, he faces a pivotal month in trying to convince players and the club's hierarchy he is the man to lead the club forward.

Arsenal have won just two of their last nine Premier League games and more negative results against Leicester, Southampton, Norwich and Brighton - matches the Gunners are expected to pick up significant points - would leave Emery under a more serious threat.

The north London club are keen to stick to their traditions of standing by managers, but there are worries from within that a run of more poor results will force them into making a decision.
