Unai emery reveals why he’ll finally start suarez against newcastle

The Spain international joined Arsenal in January from Barcelona on loan until the end of the season. Suarez has only made six appearances for the north London club so far and has failed to

impress the Emirates faithful. The 25-year-old’s appearances have all come from the substitutes’ bench, though he was handed a start in the Gunners’ 3-2 friendly victory over Al Nasr on

Tuesday. Suarez set up a goal for the Carl Jenkinson and impressed Emery with his display, so much so his fellow countryman believes he’s now ready for a starting berth. “He is OK for

starting in the first XI, to give us this impact,” Emery said of Suarez in his pre-match press conference ahead of Monday night’s match with Newcastle. “We are going to need everybody, every

player for the next matches. “We decided to go away to train for four days and play a match in Dubai. But it’s the same idea, the same spirit.” Players coming to the Premier League from

overseas often take a while to settle and adapt to the physical demands of the English game. And Emery believes that was very much the case for Suarez. When asked about the time it had taken

Suarez to settle, Emery added: “It’s normal. Now we have a lot of players ready, with a big mentality and with a big performance to play and help us.” Arsenal take on Newcastle at the

Emirates and could potential face Rafael Benitez’s side needing a win to reclaim fourth place. The former Sevilla boss is expecting a tough encounter with The Magpies, saying: "It’s not

my thought now, because I know Monday’s match is going to be very difficult. "Newcastle are in a good moment.They have a lot good players and good organisation. "The coach has a

lot of experience and he is very competitive and I know that. "The last matches they are playing, they are playing with a big confidence and very strong defensively and very

competitive. "My focus is on how we can break their defensive positions and also a big performance for us to take a win against them."
