Three horrific Arsenal stats that will be keeping Unai Emery up at night – and Liverpool defeat is the least of their worries

 
As good as Liverpool were last night, Arsenal had an absolute nightmare at Anfield as they were crushed 5-1 in Saturday’s big Premier League clash.
In front on just 11 minutes following a strong start, by 16 minutes they were 2-1 down and the sense was that further collapse was inevitable.

 Despite appearing somewhat more solid under Unai Emery this season, the warning signs have been there for some time as the team lucked-out in a big way in many games during that long unbeaten run stretching 22 matches.

 Arsenal were finally punished against Liverpool, with a good enough team able to exploit those glaring weaknesses and give Emery real worries for the rest of his first season in charge.
The way the Gunners’ defence capitulated at Anfield was not unlike how the team played in the final few years of Arsene Wenger’s reign, and these stats below from Orbinho sum up just how dire the situation is at the Emirates Stadium.
