Arsenal could sack Unai Emery because of Jose Mourinho but Mauricio Pochettino won’t join
Arsenal were held by Southampton in the Premier League this afternoon and Tony Adams has given his verdict with Unai Emery under severe pressure as a result.
Arsenal not progressing under Emery claims Tony Adams
Arsenal rescued a point at home to Southampton thanks to an injury-time equaliser from Alexandre Lacazette.
But Tony Adams is concerned at what is going on at his former club and believes Unai Emery could be axed.
That’s because Arsenal will be looking at what Tottenham have done with Jose Mourinho on the other side of north London.
Adams said on BT Sport: “What’s happened over the other side of north London has put huge pressure on this guy, they’ve made a significant change.

“This is a really poor performance. Absolutely, the fans are not going to be happy with this.
“I don’t want anybody to go because I do think there’s been a huge problem with recruitment at the club for lots of years.
“But he’s not getting the best out of this group of players. They are literally all over the place and they’re going backwards.”
Asked whether Pochettino would be a suitable replacement for Emery, the Arsenal legend believes that would be the wrong appointment.

Adams added: “I’m not sure he’s the right manager.
“I wouldn’t want him at this club I think the Tottenham connection and there might be other people out there.
“Someone who can do the defensive side of the game would be a start.”
Arsenal were eight points behind Manchester City in fourth before Pep Guardiola’s side took on Chelsea.
