Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has launched a scathing attack on under-pressure manager Unai Emery and says the club's current demise "p***es" him off.
Spanish boss Emery has been heavily criticised after his side lost their Premier League game away to Sheffield United on Monday night.
It was just a second defeat of the season across all competitions for the Gunners, but Emery's pragmatic approach to games has seen some supporters turn against him.
And Petit, the former Gunners midfielder, has joined those critics by slamming the under-fire boss for his failure to rally his troops away from home.
"I can understand why many Arsenal supporters are losing patience with Unai Emery," said Petit.
"As a manager he has a bad record away from home - not just with Arsenal, but also while he was in Spain.
"Arsenal showed no character and it p***es me off because it has been the case so many times away from home."
Emery replaced Arsene Wenger last summer but came up painfully short of securing a return to the Champions League at the end of his first season.
The mentality of his squad was questioned after a 1-0 loss at Bramall Lane, and Petit has criticised his team selection.
"The starting XI he picked against Sheffield United was strange," he added. "It's difficult after an international break when you have to play teams that don't have as many players involved in the international fixtures.
"But you know what to expect when you go to Bramall Lane - you know the qualities of the Sheffield United team.
"They fight, especially in front of their home crowd, and they get balls into the box and put pressure on at set pieces.
"That's what they did against Liverpool and Chelsea . But more importantly they didn't show any technical quality on the pitch.
"They gave away so many simple balls and had no inspiration, imagination or creativity. They looked so heavy. This isn't Arsenal - you need to take the ball and show what you've got.
"But I haven't seen that in years. Nothing has changed since Arsene Wenger left."
