Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says Arsenal should appreciate having manager Unai Emery in charge.

Despite defeat at Manchester City, Souness says there's no reason for Arsenal to doubt Emery's qualities.

“You don't need to reserve judgement, he's a good manager," Souness said of Emery on Sky Sports.

“I think he's done, with that group of players, really, really well.

“I think Arsenal for a long time have been a team that have promised so much but never delivered.

"You don't know what you're getting from Arsenal.

“In the past you'd get a team that on a good day look like Barcelona at their best and on their worst day can be beaten by anyone.

"He's got a big job on and his future will be decided on what support he gets from the board in terms of who he can buy and how much time he's given.

“But I like him, he's got a pedigree. I think Arsenal have done really well to get him."
