FirstpostThe target for Emery and the club hierarchy is a return for Arsenal to the riches of the Champions League for the first time since the 2016/17 season London: Arsenal manager Unai Emery asked for fans to give him time as doubts grow over the Spaniard’s ability to lead the Gunners back into the Champions League. A disappointing 1-0 defeat at promoted Sheffield United on Monday left Arsenal fifth in the Premier League, after just four wins in their opening nine games. “It’s normal to have difficult moments and criticism for our work and my job,” Emery said on Wednesday ahead of his side’s Europa League clash with Portuguese club Vitoria Guimaraes. “We need to accept that.” “My focus in the next matches is thinking about how we can improve and also we need to think about how we can, little-by-little, progress and achieve our immediate targets.” The target for Emery and the club hierarchy is a return to the riches of the Champions League for the first time since the 2016/17 season.
