BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has expressed regret to fans who feel he hasn’t performed at his best. He admitted to struggling against Bournemouth and revealed his frustration with a £37M teammate, calling the partnership “horrible.” Partey is now urging Arteta to give him “one last chance” in the upcoming Champions League match on Tuesday.

Thomas Partey has called on his Arsenal teammates to heed manager Mikel Arteta’s warnings about discipline, following their surprising Premier League loss to Bournemouth. Arsenal once again failed to keep all their players on the pitch, suffering two second-half goals that ended their unbeaten run.

Partey stressed the importance of “learning from our mistakes,” as the team continues to struggle with red cards. Arsenal has received three red cards in just six league matches, yet the team appears to underestimate the significance of this recurring issue.

Partey noted that it is impossible to win the league with just ten players and warned that Arsenal’s long wait for a title could continue if they don’t take Arteta’s message about eliminating red cards seriously.

In previous matches, Arsenal was leading before red cards altered the outcomes. Declan Rice’s sending-off against Brighton in August turned a potential win into a 1-1 draw, and Leandro Trossard’s dismissal last month against Manchester City led to a 2-2 result.

The recent loss to Bournemouth was marked by a goalless first half before William Saliba was sent off for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity.

This incident continued a troubling trend of discipline issues, costing Arsenal crucial points. Arteta has been vocal about the importance of keeping all eleven players on the field to achieve their goals, and Partey echoed this sentiment.

Partey acknowledged the team’s need to work together and avoid repeating past mistakes, emphasizing that when Arsenal has 11 players on the pitch, they usually dominate matches.

Injuries to key players like Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka have also affected their performance, but Partey urged the team to focus on the game rather than dwelling on absent teammates.

Despite being reduced to ten men, Arsenal fought until Ryan Christie and Justin Kluivert scored to secure Bournemouth’s win. Partey emphasized the importance of having a full squad and called on Arsenal’s defenders to step up in the absence of key players like Saliba.

Looking ahead, Arteta faces the challenge of regrouping the team for upcoming crucial matches against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League and Liverpool in the Premier League. Partey expressed optimism, saying the team must respond positively and learn from their setbacks.
