Arsenal, who haven’t been champions of England since 2004, suffered a costly 2-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, which has dented their trophy hopes after Liverpool and Manchester City both won on Sunday.
The Gunners were expected to pick up maximum points on the south coast, but William Saliba’s early red card proved costly as the Cherries conjured up a victory.
Neville feels it is still ‘early’ enough in the season for Arsenal to turn things around – but only on one condition. The football pundit argues Arsenal must fix their mindset and show more resilience when they are reduced to 10 men in matches.
‘If they do go down to ten men, they have got to go and win,’ Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast.
‘On a general note of Arsenal, still very early in the season, early enough for them to recover, early enough for them to still be really dangerous and win the league.
‘But I was disappointed with them [against Bournemouth] and I think they should be disappointed in themselves.’
