Arsenal fan says Unai Emery 'needs to go' in fiery rant
Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette has liked an Instagram post calling for the head of manager Unai Emery.
The Gunners’ difficult Premier League campaign went from bad to worse on Sunday as they threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.
It is just the latest setback for Arsenal under Emery who, five months on from the club’s Europa League final defeat to Chelsea, is coming in for criticism.
Among those unhappy with Emery is AFTV regular Troopz, who took to Instagram to vent his frustration after another below-part performance from his team.

That could now see the France international land himself in trouble with Emery unlikely to take to the message too well.
Meanwhile, the showdown against Palace also saw Granit Xhaka come in for criticism.
The Arsenal star was booed by own fans and appeared to swear back in retaliation before taking his jersey off in anger.
And Emery has admitted the Arsenal skipper was wrong to react the way he did, and implied he could be stripped of the captaincy.
“I think it’s not the moment to think about that. We need to speak with him, with the club. We need to stay calm. But he was wrong,” he said.
“He was wrong. But I think now is the time to stay calm and also tomorrow to speak with him.
“We need to speak inside about that. His reaction was wrong in that moment.
“We are working, me and the club and inside with all the players to manage playing with pressure. The habits under pressure, to be clever in our hearts.
“In the difficult moments, we can be hot in our hearts but in our minds we can be clever. We are going to speak inside, with the players and the club.”
