Unai Emery gets team advice with Mkhitaryan concern

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has been advice on his team selection ahead of subsequent games but most importantly, he has been asked to drop Henrikh Mkhitaryan from his starting XI.

Mkhitaryan joined Arsenal last January in a swap deal that had former Gunners Alex Sanchez go the other direction to Manchester United, a development that was praised.

But it has not been all good for the former United player as he has had an unconvincing and inconsistent performance at the Emirates Stadium.

This seems unbearable to pundit Tony Cascarino who has spoken out to the Spanish manager to ensure Mkhitaryan is left out of the team to help give his side a more compact look.

Mkhitaryan has been part of Emery’s team since the manager took over in the summer and the team has had an outstanding season so far, going 14 games unbeaten which include 12 wins and 2 draws but that is not to say that the former United player has been impactful.

The concerned pundit stated that the Gunners team will be more complete and compact in performance without Mkhitaryan because his presence on the pitch alongside Mesut Ozil will only reduce the power and tempo of the team.
