DBasia.news – The 2-3 defeat of Arsenal against Southampton makes the North London team stay in the fifth position of Premier League temporary table.
The closest rivals, Chelsea (4th position) and Tottenham Hotspur (3rd position) have collected 37 and 39 points for their victory last weekend. However, Arsenal have higher point against Manchester United in the 6th position with 26 points so far.
The defeat makes the coach realizes the difficulty to qualify for the top position.
“The level is very high with the other teams and if we miss out on a win like today, we cannot be in the top four because the other teams are usually winning,” Emery said.
“We need to carry on in our way but it is not going to be easy to get into the top four. The other teams are playing at a high level and we need to be very, very demanding ourselves. After 22 matches without losing, we were still only in the fifth position and that is because of the levels of the other teams,” he added.
Arsenal performed really well after the take over from Unai Emery since the exit of Arsene Wenger last year. But, Emery and Arsenal still need more time to enhance the collectivity this season.
