Emery failing to connect with Arsenal players - Van Persie

The former Gunners striker believes the Spaniard isn't addressing key issues within his side and has been let down by a lack of communication

Robin van Persie has declared Arsenal are no better off under Unai Emery and that the manager isn't connecting with his players at the Emirates.

Emery is into his second season in charge of the Gunners having replaced Arsene Wenger, but recent performances have failed to convince many that the Spaniard is taking the club in the right direction.

After labouring to a late 3-2 win over Vitoria in the Europa League on Thursday, Van Persie admitted he believes Arsenal haven't improved under Emery with his failure to build strong relationships with his players particularly letting him down.
