While disciplinary issues have been a long-standing problem for Arsenal, Arteta will be keen to address the issue quickly to avoid it derailing their season once again. With the Premier League title race looking as tight as ever, every point will be crucial in the pursuit of success.
As they look to challenge the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City, Arsenal will need to keep their cool and ensure they keep all 11 players on the pitch for the full 90 minutes. Otherwise, they could find themselves falling behind once again due to ill-discipline.
But at the same time, we have to control our emotions and be intelligent because it’s a fine line. We have to be careful because it’s costing us a lot. We have to learn from it and be better.
Arteta’s words suggest that while Arsenal may be experiencing a spike in red cards, it is not due to a lack of discipline or aggressive play. Instead, it seems to be a result of increased scrutiny on minor incidents and perhaps some unfortunate circumstances. The team will need to learn from these incidents and be more careful in order to avoid costly dismissals in the future.
