Arsenal's Discipline Issues Threaten Title Chances

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is seeking to address the team’s disciplinary issues after William Saliba’s red card against Bournemouth marked their third dismissal in just eight Premier League games this season. Arsenal's struggles with red cards have resulted in dropping seven points this season, despite winning all games where they have kept 11 men on the pitch. Arteta believes the best solution is to not overly focus on the problem, as previous discussions have not yielded results. Critics like Gary Neville and Alan Shearer have emphasized the need for Arsenal to maintain discipline to enhance their title chances. Arsenal, currently third in the Premier League, faces increased pressure from Liverpool and Manchester City, and must cope without Saliba in their upcoming matches, including a crucial Champions League tie against Shakhtar Donetsk. Arteta's approach to youth and discipline echoes Arsene Wenger's legacy, although he is keen to establish his own path and legacy at the club.
