Thomas Partey: Body Falling Apartey

[Rasmi]

I think there are occasions where a central midfielder can misplaced passes, be out of sync, and I can impact the players around him for sure.

I also think a shakey goalkeeper can impact his defence in a similar way. Is it that controversial?

So Partey getting disposed first 10 mins effected all of our players rest of the game?

 

[Nunowoolmez]

I’ve been saying all season that Partey is the best 6 at the club followed by Jorginho I’m sure everyone agrees with me now after months of arguments.

Not after today's performance !

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Awful today as he has been for majority of the time here.

Do I think after we had 88 percent possession and had them on the ropes for the opening, Parteys error grew their confidence? Yes.

Do I think him continuing to play like he is inebriated, falling over, not looking behind him, passes in to nowhere, destabilised our midfield and impacted our rhythm? Yes.

He's our number 6. I do believe he impacted players around him today.

We are trying to play in a cohesive system, and I think his performance, starting from the early giveaway, had an impact on the teams nerves in a very significant game.

We need to upgrade on this guy. At his best he does a job but we can’t have a guy who’s bad day is this bad. He’s a massive reason we started our slide last season by gifting a goal to West Ham and almost did the same today, couple of times.

Our biggest flop ever.

Jorginho is levels above.

Partey was poor but Rice and Ødegaard were far worse than him.

All were poor and have me concerned about the true level of our midfield.

 

[Riou]

Our biggest flop ever.

Mustafi was worse, tbf.

Nearly 40 million in 2016 for someone that's probably as good as Stepanovs, ffs!

Hate all 3 mentioned!

 

[Menard]

Either looks like the best 6 in the world or a nervous wreck. Sell sell sell.

 

[Batman]

Has to be his last match Sunday. There are a multitude of reasons why. Take whatever we can get for him or buy him out. I don't care. Just get him gone.

All were poor and have me concerned about the true level of our midfield.

After Porto and Bayern tie, the club needs two midfielders if we wish to compete with Europe's elite. An all phase 6/8 hybrid and a progressive creative ball carrying 8/10 hybrid.

Until then, City and Madrid will dominate with their midfield options alone. Madrid stockpiling Bellingham, Valverde, Guler, Tchouaemeni and Camavinga whilst City are looking at Guimares/Paqueta/Musiala/Wirtz on top of having Rodri/Foden.

How Unfair

At least mustafi had 2 months of good form at the start of his first two seasons. Has Partey even had 3 consecutive decent performances in a row? He's had less than double figures of good peformances at Arsenal and he has been here for years.

 

[Thrice]

He's just not reliable. People often talk about his unique skillset, but what does it even matter when he only shows it once or twice a season?

SO many plastic fans on this sub. Partey is world class and the best DM in the world. He was world class 100% of last season where he played 90% of the games.

yesterday's game plan was to cede posession to Man u and park the bus, so thats what he did. The whole team didn't play like they normally do.

I don't have a problem with that. Man u only had like 1 shot on target all game and that was from Casemiro who shot from distance.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Not after today's performance !

Not really people are just extra harsh on him for obvious reasons, Arteta knows the truth.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Needs to be shot into space. Just to be sure his stench is far enough away from Arsenal.

 

[DanDare]

It's simple, the risk isn't worth it for the spotty reward you get

 

[Nawoo81]

Needs to be shot into space. Just to be sure his stench is far enough away from Arsenal.

nope. he's world class and we should extend his contract and keep him for as long as possible.
