Van Persie admitted it was difficult to make judgement before suggesting Emery doesn't have his own philosophy like his predecessor Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp.

The retired striker added: "I don't really see his philosophy, what is his philosophy?

"He's changing a lot. He's changing his tactics a lot and changing his playing style based on the opponent.

"You need to form a basis from your own strengths."

It caused mixed responses from Arsenal supporters on social media but plenty appeared to agree with the Dutchman.

One wrote: "Van Persie is spot on, what is Emery's philosophy?"

Another added: "Hate him or love him RvP spoke nothing but facts. Emery doesn't have any proper philosophy instilled into this team and he never will."

A third said: ";Turn the TV on and first thing I hear is Van Persie calling out Emery for not having a philosophy. What a hero, a true Sir Arsene Wenger man."

But others don't agree.

One fumed: "RVP has no idea what he’s chatting about."

Another wrote: "RVP Just sounds like a typical Wenger fanboy."
