Paul Merson has labelled Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United as 'lacklustre' and questioned what Unai Emery has changed at the club after replacing Arsene Wenger.
The Gunners missed the chance to climb into third place as Lys Mousset goal separated the two sides at Bramall Lane after another off-colour performance by Emery's side.
Writing in his Sky Sports column, Merson attacked the display, questioning the lack of urgency shown by Emery's charges.
He said: "It was normal, wasn't it? I don't know what anybody expected. This is Arsenal now. It's just lacklustre. There's no urgency.
"People say they wouldn't know if this was Arsene Wenger's team, I don't know about that because defensively they looked comfortable. David Luiz just played in first gear.
"But going forward, they've got no guile. It looked like Chris Wilder knew exactly what he wanted from his side. But with Arsenal and Unai Emery, it was almost like: 'See you at half-time and full-time.'"
The former Arsenal man has been outspoken about Emery in the past and he has taken aim at the Gunners boss after the latest unacceptable perrformance.
He added: "I kept thinking: 'What would this Arsenal side look like if Chris Wilder was in charge?'
"It's accepted. Nobody is going to work this morning and saying: 'Oh my God, did you see Arsenal getting beat by Sheffield United?' Those days are gone. It's accepted through the club, the fans, the manager, everyone.
"Sheffield United played as much football as Arsenal, they didn't kick them off the pitch.
"What has improved? Really, what has improved? Not a lot, at all."
