Since stepping into the Emirates dugout last summer Unai Emery has overseen the transformation of a more expansive Arsenal and implemented a unique philosophy in north London.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking over from Arsene Wenger, a man who revolutionised the Gunners and remained at the helm for 22-years, was always going to be a difficult task for the Spaniard, but he has acclimatised well and made serene progress in the capital.<\/p>\n

As things stand the club have already bettered their total points tally from last season in the Premier League and still have five matches remaining, while a Europa League semi-final awaits Arsenal next month.<\/p>\n

One of the most impressive aspects of Emery’s tenure has been his tactics and style of play, developing Arsenal into a more aggressive side and employing a well-calibrated high press, with his side averaging a goal from open play every 67.5 minutes – the second best return in the league.<\/p>\n

Statman Dave<\/a> has all the answers to those questions in his latest video as he explains how Arsenal’s style has changed since Wenger left.<\/strong><\/p>\n
