ARSENAL FANS BACK UP MAITLAND-NILES FOLLOWING APPARENT EMERY DIG
After Hector Bellerin suffered a serious knee injury back in January, Ainsley Mait-Niles has been a regular under Unai Emery.
The 22-year-old, who has featured in every minute of Premier league for the Gunners this season prefers to play in a more central midfield role but could be pushed out of the side with Bellerin set to return in the coming weeks.
The versatile Englishman came in for plenty of criticism
For his individual performance against Watford on the weekend, the versatile Englishman was mainly criticised and Maitland-Niles, who talked to Sky, appeared to take a dig at Emery by claiming that they should have changed their style of play against the Hornets.
Words can’t describe how I feel about it. I think we tried to play the way we played, we should have changed it instead of being so persistent and trying to play out from the back.
