Unai Emery needs to fix Arsenal's long standing defensive fragility

New season, same old problems with Arsenal's defensive frailties being the bane of their existence

Unai Emery’s start to life at the Emirates could not have gotten off to a much worst start. Fans of Arsenal could not have been faulted for thinking that this season would be different from past ones, where the team had stagnated under legendary boss Arsene Wenger.

However Arsenal supporters might need to exercise their patience as Emery has yet to arrest the mediocrity that has come to be associated with the club in recent times. Part of the reason why Gunners fans have been excited was due to the managerial change and also because of the new key signings that would solve some of their long standing troubles, especially the defence.
