Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham met 200 Arsenal staff at a planned get-together where they both addressed Arsenal’s faltering form under Unai Emery.

“We are as disappointed as everyone else with both our results and performances,” they reportedly said.

“We share the frustration with our fans, Unai, players and all our staff as they are not at the level we want or expect.

“Things need to improve to meet our objectives for the season, and we believe Unai is the right man for the job, together with the backroom team we have in place. We are all working intensively behind the scenes to turn things around and are confident we will.”

With only two wins from their last 10 Premier League games and a goal difference of minus three from their last four games against Palace, Liverpool, Wolves and Leicester, things might not be quite so bad if the team weren’t playing some of the most cowardly football I’ve ever seen from a top side.

Most of what is said above is backed up by David Ornstein, who is often used as a mouthpiece by the club.
