Cech has garnered criticism for his sloppiness in possession and being unable to adapt to Emery's passing style of play, but Emery believes Cech just needs time to adjust to the new tactics.
As quoted by the Daily Mail, Emery said: ''For me each game is progress. Petr has experience, he is intelligent, he is doing it how we want in building up our work on the pitch.
"It is very important
for me to continue doing this and improving. If you play long balls
every time, you lose your personality and you lose moments on the pitch.
''We
take a little risk. When you break this, and break through their
pressing, you can find the space for attacking position. It is clear you
can make a mistake, but we need to continue with this personality.''
Against Cardiff on
Sunday, Cech played the ball directly to opposition midfielder Harry
Arter, but fortunately for the former Czech Republic captain the
28-year-old blazed the shot over the bar.
Cech
was also nearly dispossessed in front of his goal and almost passed the
ball directly to a Cardiff striker. Despite Cech's errors, Arsenal went on to win the match 3-2 thanks to goals from Shkodran Mustafi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
In Arsenal's first match of the season against Manchester City, Cech nearly played the ball into his own goal when trying to pick a pass to a centre back.
These blunders have led many to come to the conclusion that Cech is past his best, and is not suitable for Emery's team.
