<\/p>\n

Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has claimed that Arsenal players have been \u201cuncoachable\u201d under Unai Emery, after the Spaniard was fired on Friday.<\/p>\n

Emery was dismissed hours after the Gunners lost 2-1 at home to Frankfurt in the Europa League.<\/p>\n

Freddie Ljungberg has since been appointed on an interim basis.<\/p>\n

Neville believes Arsenal\u2019s defenders are to blame for Emery\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been messy, let\u2019s be clear about this, these defenders like [Shkodran] Mustafi, Sokratis and [David] Luiz are uncoachable,\u201d Neville told Sky Sports News.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know who has been responsible for recruitment over the last few years, but if I was on the board at Arsenal I would be giving them a right rocketing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way Emery is telling [David] Luiz to step up two, three times to catch a player offside, or even some of the hideous things you see from other defenders.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see what happened with [Granit] Xhaka the other week, Emery is a man of honour and this runs far deeper than just the coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe might be feeling quite happy to leave behind what is quite simply an average bunch of players.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
