That’s according to former Gunners striker Ian Wright, who believes the Spaniard has scrapped his favoured tactics because he hasn’t got the right players to execute them. Arsenal look certain to miss out on a place in the top four this term, with Tottenham three points clear of them in fourth - and with a much healthier goal difference - ahead of Sunday’s final outing. Their best opportunity of securing Champions League football comes in the Europa League, where they lead Valencia 3-1 after the first leg of their semi-final clash last week. But while Wright feels his old side are in a transitional period right now, he insists there has been a ‘stagnation’ under Emery. “I think that it’s still a massive transitional period,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast. “I think that when they started with Unai Emery and he wanted to do this high-pressing game and the players he got, I genuinely feel it’s the same. “I feel he hasn’t got the players to do what he wants to do, to kind of execute the game he wants, because it totally seems like it’s been abandoned. “I watched them against Leicester the other day and there’s no creativity in the midfield. He played a 4-4-2, it seemed like it was just a case of letting [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang and [Alexandre] Lacazette do something and it nearly happened one time against Leicester.” Wright’s comments come as:Arsenal target Ryan Fraser reveals there’s a ‘good chance’ he’ll be at THIS club next yearThe Gunners are set to appoint THIS former player as sporting directorEmery abandons his Nicolas Pepe chase in favour of TWO new targets He continued: “You would have thought that he was coming in, it was gonna be progressive. At the moment it feels like there’s a stagnation going on. “There’s a lot of players that need to be moved on and when you watch how they played yesterday [in 1-1 draw at home to Brighton], you watch how they played in a run of games where Arsenal were expected to do a lot better and they took like one point out of the four games, I think it shows the mentality as well, which is something I thought the manager would have addressed. “But you don’t know what money he’s gonna be given in the summer, so you’re gonna have the same manager who’s been appointed as a head coach. Is he gonna be able to make these players or the players he’s gonna get better? “That’s what it comes down to for me.” When asked how he would rate Emery’s debut season in north London, Wright replied: “I think it will probably be a B+, simply because they got into top four and people were saying maybe by default. “It would have been a better season had they been able to take advantage of that. “But at the same time, they’re still in the Europa semi-finals, they can still probably get into the Champions League if they win those games. “But then coming back in the summer, what is he gonna have if they do win that final to go and challenge in the Champions League?
