“I Still Love What’s Happening” – Ian Wright Refuses To Be Down After Gunners Loss

Ian Wright still thinks we’re heading in the right direction…

Arsenal legend Ian Wright isn’t panicking just yet after we suffered our first defeat in 22 games against Southampton following a very poor defensive display, BBC Radio 5 Live reports.

Goals from Danny Ings and Charlie Austin made the brace from Henrikh Mkhitaryan rather irrelevant as our makeshift back three failed to deal with simple aerial balls.

Laurent Koscielny looked out of his depth at the back which is understandable considering that this is his first Premier League start since May.

The Frenchman was flanked by Stephan Lichsteiner and Granit Xhaka who Unai Emery turned to given the suspensions being served by Sokratis and Mustafi.

While fans are starting to slightly worry given that we are starting to see how performances hinder our results, Wright still sees growth in the team.

“You watch a game with Arsenal and at least you’re gonna get a decent performance, and even Southampton have to get credit for beating Arsenal, but Arsenal still remained in it,” Wright explained.

“It wasn’t like one of those games were Arsenal pitted out and Southampton beat them, they were in it.

“I still love what’s happening right now at Arsenal because it’s progress, it’s progress from where it was. 

“The manager is obviously sorting out a lot of things behind the scenes in what he wants from players.”

Emery can only truly be judged at the end of the campaign, but many were hoping for a more sustained challenge for the top four and right now we’re getting that.

We never looked like qualifying for the Champions League last season, yet we’re very much in the fight this term.

I do feel like, by now, Emery should know his preferred system and starting XI, but the Spaniard is still working that out.

He’s made more half-time substitutions than any other manager in the Premier League which clearly reaks of a lack of belief in certain systems.
