Imagine Kante and Partey playing alongside each other. The two hottest dudes in the league pairing up and destroying the midfield.
We’re gonna have to dope up some guys then.Add Willock to the poll please now that Guendouzi and Torreira have gone. 4 CMs is not enough for a 60 game season.
Tell you what, Smith-Rowe and Willock has a real opportunity to shine.I’d prefer AMN in midfield to Willock.
For sure.Tell you what, Smith-Rowe and Willock has a real opportunity to shine.
This is the most streamlined midfield we’ve had in years it might even be a bit risky. We’ve got a few guys who could play as a no8/10 like Saka, Ceballos and Willian but nobody has really cemented that role.

I like Willock but if he makes it here it won’t be soon. Think we’ve seen enough to suggest that he’s a slow burner type prospect.
Luckily Partey and Xhaka both seem to be rock solid so we’re good.
The likelihood of prospects immediately breaking into top teams seems to drop as the positions get deeper. I guess this makes sense as the off the ball side of the game takes greater importance and this is honed by not just talent but experience too.How much has been seen of him in CM to draw that conclusion? Partey at the same age was being loaned out to Mallorca and used in random positions.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying Perhaps slow burner is the norm for that role. Thomas will have a big influence on the development of our young midfielders imo.
Trolling is not my cup. I just like to be objective by judging on current form.
We lost all stability in CM when Xhaka was brought on for Ceballos. You did watch the game, right?I don't want a fcuking youtube highlights player as a CM. As a CAM, maybe Ceballos can work. But at CM, you need to be tactically and positionally disciplined.
I’d like to see:
Leno
Bellerin-Luiz-Gabriel-Saka
Pepe-Partey-Xhaka-Wilshere
Laca-Auba
Wilshere? why not Götze?
