Arsenal legend Sol Campbell issues WARNING to Gunners players over Unai Emery [Video]

 Arsenal Legend Sol Campbell and Arsenal Coach Unai Emery

ARSENAL legend Sol Campbell has spoken out about the club's new manager Unai Emery after the Gunners experienced a shaky start to the Premier League season.

The international break has arguably come at the perfect time for Emery, giving him some much needed time to reconsider his team selection.

The Gunners have looked better in their last two games, bagging wins against West Ham and Cardiff.

But old habits have continuously come back to haunt them, as they struggle to keep a clean sheet.

And now Campbell, who played 135 games for Arsenal after joining from arch-rivals Tottenham, has issued a warning to fans and players alike over their news Spanish gaffer.

The former centre-back believes patience is key.

"He's trying to change the philosophy and playing out from the back takes time for the whole squad to get it," he told Hayters TV.

"You may get it as a player, but doing it week in, week out is a different thing.

"They need to stick with the programme and it will get better."

But Sol also admitted the players need to sometimes take responsibility.

He added: "But also players may have to admit sometimes it's too tight and just kick the ball out to safety.

"But the new strategy is working really well, we saw a beautiful goal against Chelsea with 17 passes and they did something similar at the weekend.

"So we've seen how it's coming together, but it just takes time."

The footage was posted on YouTube, where it has racked up more than 2,300 hits in a matter of hours.

"We need a warrior like Sol," one viewer admitted.

While another added: "Our legend has spoken."

Arsenal return to action on September 15 with a journey up north to Newcastle.

Last time they visited the Magpies was back in April, where Arsene Wenger's side walked away with a 2-1 defeat.
