Eleven wins in succession is not enough for Unai Emery. Despite his blistering start to life in London, the Spaniard is still not happy
He wants more.It is that level of expectation that has helped prove there is life after Arsene Wenger
'He wants to make everything perfect,' said Mesut Ozil.Of course, Emery is delighted with the results
His team are two points off the Premier League summit and on course for a Champions League qualification spot that was always the brief for his first season in charge
But, in Emery's mind, there is still plenty that needs changing.Those close to the Spaniard suggest that the former Paris Saint-Germain boss is not completely satisfied with the make-up of his squad
Should this impressive start to his reign continue, Emery is expected to use his first-season success as leverage to exert greater influence on the club's transfer policy
Arsenal have worked hard to adopt a more European approach to deals, whereby targets are identified by a director of football
Will the club be willing to allow Emery a greater say in the future as he looks to reshape his squad?That is not to say Emery isn't committed to extracting the best out of the players currently at his disposal
He requests regular updates from staff at the club's Hale End academy as he looks towards the next generation
It will be interesting to see how Emery's influence grows at the Emirates, whether he is permitted a greater level of control and can build a Wenger-style legacy
Those, however, are questions for the future. Right now, Arsenal's players are being worked harder than they have been for years
It is no coincidence that they are enjoying their best run for years, too.Emery is a stickler for statistics
Sat with his backroom team at the club's training complex, the Arsenal manager will go through data from every match with a fine-tooth comb
Season at a glance Live tables Fixtures Scores Premier League Premier League Championship League One League Two Scottish Premiership Scottish Div 1 Scottish Div 2 Scottish Div 3 Ligue 1 Serie A La Liga Bundesliga More tables More fixtures More scores He knows who has put a shift in and, more pertinently, who hasn't
If the data pinpoints a player for a lack of effort, Emery is quickly on his case
He will not avoid confrontation. If he feels a player needs a dressing down he will go about it with the minimum of fuss
No one is safe. Ozil and Aaron Ramsey — two of Arsenal's most influential stars — have both been substituted for not pulling their weight during games this season
Wenger, at least during his final years at Arsenal, would also spend ample time studying post-match statistics
He, too, knew who was shirking. But herein lies one of the most telling difference between the two bosses: Wenger was always reluctant to ruffle feathers
Certain players were always safe in the knowledge that they would play the next game no matter how they had performed in the previous one
In Emery, however, Arsenal have a manager who is prepared to tell players how it is, no matter how high their profile or reputation
During a question-and-answer session on Twitter earlier this week, Ozil's response to a query about Wenger was telling
'He always protected and supported me the best way he could,' said the German. Contrastingly, in an interview with Sky Sports that will be aired before Sunday's match at Crystal Palace, Ozil said: 'I don't listen to these people (critics)
I just listen to my coach and my people who say things straight to my face. The most important thing is that the coach can help me
If I make a mistake he will tell me, we can speak and I can improve for the future
'Wenger was always vibrant and charming around the training ground. The Frenchman believed a happy ship was conducive to earning three points on match-days
Emery is more insular. He keeps players and staff guessing. They don't always know where they stand
The fact that he waits until the day of the match to name his team adds to that feeling of uncertainty
But Arsenal's players are responding to Emery's hardline approach. Eleven wins on the spin is testament to that
A huge factor in Arsenal's scintillating run has been the form of Lucas Torreira. Arsenal's midfield has long been crying out for a defensive midfielder
The Uruguayan, a summer arrival from Sampdoria, looks to have solved that problem
'The most important thing for me is to try to bring balance to the team, to help the defenders and support the midfielders,' explained Torreira
'Playing for Arsenal is a great challenge and a new challenge for me. I'm the kind of person who likes to fight for these things
'I'm getting to know London and taking on the challenge of learning English so I can communicate with my team-mates
That's something that's not only important for football but also for life.'
