<\/p>\nTony Adams has suggested Arsenal may have won the league if Unai Emery was still in charge.<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta took over as Gunners boss back in December 2019 after Emery was sacked following a dismal run of form and a Europa League final battering months earlier by Chelsea. Arteta has since brought the feel-good factor back to north London, rebuilding a shambolic squad with hungry youngsters.<\/p>\n
But the Spaniard, 41, fell short at the final hurdle last season as he looked to deliver Arsenal\u2019s first Premier League title since 2004. And club legend Adams has now suggested his inexperience played a part in Arsenal\u2019s sudden collapse in the business end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Adams told talkSPORT: \u201cI love him [Arteta]. I love his passion and enthusiasm. I\u2019ve always said he\u2019s a little bit inexperienced and perhaps needs to draw on someone in his staff who is a little more experienced. I\u2019m talking about going across the line last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all make mistakes and aren\u2019t perfect. He perhaps didn\u2019t rotate players early enough last season. People were running out of steam, like Bukayo Saka. <\/p>\n
Do you think Unai Emery is a better coach then Mikel Arteta? Let us know in the comments section.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s doing great. Last year, weirdly if Unai Emery was our manager then we could have perhaps won the league.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he didn\u2019t stick around and following Arsene Wenger was difficult, a bit like George Graham being followed by Bruce Rioch. I think he missed a few bits last season to get us over the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Adams\u2019 harsh observation, the Gunners are in the midst of another title challenge this season. An 89th minute goal away at Brentford on Saturday was crucial in maintaining momentum, taking Arteta\u2019s men back on top of the table.<\/p>\n
Emery, meanwhile, has proven a revelation at Aston Villa this season. The record four-time Europa League winner\u2019s Villans are currently fourth in the league, two points behind the league leaders after beating Tottenham 2-1 – a result all of the aforementioned names could surely get behind.<\/p>\n
