Emery acknowledged responsibility for the draw Watford vs Arsenal

Arsenal manager Unai Emery protects his players by claiming that he is responsible for the Gunners' mistakes against Watford.

Arsenal played well in the first half when visiting Watford at Vicarage Road on Sunday (09/15/2019). At that time, they were able to lead two goals thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

However, they really disappeared in the second round. Finally, Watford was able to equalize thanks to goals from Tom Cleverley and Roberto Pereyra.

Both goals come from the mistakes of the players themselves. First when Gerard Deulofeu succeeded in making a breakthrough bait for Sokratis Papastathopoulos to Matteo Guendouzi, facilitating the attack from Cleverley.

The second is David Luiz's disobedience. The Brazilian defender broke Roberto Pereyra in the penalty box and dropped the penalty on the referee.



Important experience

Before the two goals were created, Guendouzi had made a big mistake. After receiving the ball about one meter from the penalty area, the ball is caught by the Watford player.

The ball then hits hard. But fortunately, Bernd Leno can still ignore it.

Emery himself chose to take the positive side. He said the fight would be an important learning experience for young Arsenal players.

"We have a number of young players and they have to undergo experience today," he said as reported by Goal International.

"Matteo [Guendouzi] is young and very emotional, he sometimes needs to make a few mistakes to improve his ability, in the first half he made a mistake and they didn't score," Emery said.



Responsible
The Spanish manager tries to protect his players. Including Sokratis and Luiz.

He said he did not want to blame both players. He stressed, it was all his fault.

"When we analyze mistakes, we prefer to discuss them collectively - I have responsibilities," he said.

"I do not mean one of the players, it is my responsibility to give them the confidence to carry out our game plan," Emery said.

Arsenal are now collecting eight points in five Premier League matches. After fighting at Watford, Unai Emery will lead his adopted children to play against Eintracht Frankfurt in the European League.
