REVEALED: Stats show Emery hasn't improved on Wenger Arsenal record

Unai Emery has failed to take Arsenal forward since replacing former manager Arsene Wenger, it has been revealed.

The Mirror says statistics show that Arsenal had more success in his last 50 Premier League games in charge than they have in Emery's first 50 top-flight matches.

Under Emery, Arsenal have recorded 87 points in the Premier League but Wenger managed one point more in his last 50 matches.

Wenger's tally of 27 wins is two more than Emery's current record, while the Spaniard - known for his defensive style of play - has only managed to oversee 10 clean sheets, 10 fewer than his predecessor.

And another worrying revelation is the lack of attacking football they appearing to be playing under the beleaguered manager.

Arsenal averaged 61.4 per cent possession under Wenger, but they has reduced to 57.6 per cent under their current boss, while they attempt far few shots on target too.

And they also seem to face more shots on target (Emery's Arsenal on 696, while Wenger's Arsenal faced 576( another suggestion that Arsenal are no longer a feared opposition.
