Jamie Carragher has claimed that 'great teams have still won with 10 men' during analysis of Arsenal's shock defeat by Bournemouth.
The Gunners slipped to their first defeat of the season after a 2-0 loss against the Cherriesthat was made worse after William Saliba was sent off in the first-half.
The Gunners have failed in any of those three matches - drawing two and losing the other - which has put a dent in their Premier League title hopes this year.
However, Sky Sports pundit Carragher insisted that Arsenal 'can do more' despite losing a player and insisted 'great teams have still won 10 men'.
Jamie Carragher insists Arsenal 'can do more' as he analysed their red card record this term
Speaking on Monday night, Carragher said: 'They should be doing more in those games. They have gone really defensive.
'I get the Man City game, but can they do more with 10 men? You can still win! But they have dropped points every game.
'Great teams who have won league titles have still won with 10 men'.
'Their biggest problem isn’t points, it’s how often they get red cards. This has to stop. If you keep getting red cards, you aren’t going to pull it back'.
The Gunners' first sending off of the season came at home to Brighton when Declan Rice was given his marching order for a second bookable offence after delaying a restart.
Carragher's comments echo that of his co-pundit Gary Neville who, immediately after the game, complained about Arsenal's attitude towards missing players, but stressed they can still become Premier League champions.
'No Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard or Jurrien Timber against Bournemouth? I get that but we're talking about playing Bournemouth, who are a good side, but they have a squad of 20 to deal with Champions League football and a couple of injuries,' Neville told Sky Sports.
'Arsenal without Saliba against Liverpool - they had the excuse a couple of seasons ago [when he was out injured in the run-in] and that was accepted, he was a big loss. But they've added players to the squad to be able to deal with that now.
'You can't be one player away, having a one-match ban, and the level go from here [high] to here [low]. You have to remain consistent and reliable if you get an injury.
'Next week we can't talk about 'so-and-so isn't playing'. There's been a lot of money, a lot of improvement. Now's the time to go and show it.
'They're still in with a big chance. It's very early in the season. Next Sunday is a big test for Liverpool and a big question for Arsenal without Saliba,' added Neville.
Saliba will only miss one match for his reckless challenge on Evanilson and will serve his suspension in a huge clash against Liverpool that could have a major bearing on the title race.
