"Of course, we need patience": Granite Xhaka urges Arsenal supporters to give Unai Emery time

Anxious supporters of Arsenal have been asked to be more patient with new head coach Unai Emery.

The Spaniards are in free fall since their run of 22 undefeated games early in the season, which ended in a defeat at Southampton, which they are organizing on Sunday.

An out-of-the-box title challenge turned into a desperate battle to rank among the top four finishes after Manchester United's come-back recovery saw them swallow a huge points gap.

Emery's injured squad have not won consecutive games since the first week of January, but, supported by midweek Europa League win over Bate Borisov, midfielder Granit Xhaka has invited players, supporters and experts to reduce the shot that remained to Emery.

The Swiss International has been a mainstay of Emery, who named him one of the captains of his club.

"Of course, we need patience," said Xhaka. "It's not so easy for him too. He needs time. He needs to learn better and better. But I think we work very well with him and that all the players are happy. & # 39;

Xhaka is optimistic after Arsenal drew the French to Rennes in the Europa League round of 16. "We want to finish the season in the top four and go to win the Europa League final," he said.

He believes that a peaceful Mesut Ozil is the key to their hopes. "We are happy that he is back. You can see when he is on the ground, he can help us a lot.
