This is down to coaching imo. Did he play like this before coming here?
Definitely down to coaching hence why he was pointing for it to go to Tierney. That's exactly what Xhaka does. The paas goes to him of it going where it is meant to go, so he passes it back and waits for it to go there instead.
Partey seems like he plays passes that go against the pattern. I don't think he is an Artwta system player.

Most people calling him out for not passing it out wide but it should be drilled in to him to get it forward and always look for the options centrally, Wenger would have had him getting the ball to ESR there to split the entire defence/midfield.

Only midfielder we have who makes straight passes in midfield. Even the simple pass to Ødegaard is not a pass Arteta want in his team

No idea why Arteta and Edu were so infatuated by this guy.
Slow, weak, safe, boring, contributes virtually nothing...
Even in his loan spell, what did he really do? How many exciting performances did we really see?
More money wasted by those two clowns. He'll be back in Spain within two seasons.

Was and still am a fan of this signing but you have to say Laca looked a hell of a lot better playing that role tonight.
He's 22 years old, had a OK loan spell for us and only cost £30-34million, which is extremely reasonable in this market. There was a absolutely ghost out there today called Bunedia that cost Villa £38million.

Another AM hype job failing massively.

Buendia hasn't shown much so far has he. 4th season in England and 2nd in the PL. It's not like he's in a bad team under a bad manager.

Laca played as a 10 last night, Ødegaard hasn’t played that role really, he’s been playing deeper, his role has been to retain possession rather than advance the play and try and play a final ball.
There were 2 occasions last night where he played pacy balls to set auba away. And auba was not even close to that wavelength.
Ode is not being played to his strengths, but before the season is out, he will.
If we get back to a spot where we have european football next season, there is a rotating half forward line of Saka/ESR/Ode/Pepe/Martinelli - thats before any incomings and each of those mentioned will be a year further into development, a lot to like there.

He played at 10 against Sp**s, Norwich and Brighton as well and only really the Sp**s game he looked decent in my opinion. To me Laca offered a lot more being asked to play that role last night.
As I said I still really like the signing but he's not really been at it yet, still loads of time for him though. I still find it really hard to critisise most of these guys having to play in Arteta's system to be fair. Asking a lot of anybody to look good consistently.
Country: Canada
Some unfortunate performances, he's looking a little low on confidence to my eye... He's shown his quality elsewhere and here, so I do believe he will bounce back - just hope it's sooner rather than later. We won't be able to rely on Laca goes berserk for 60 minutes before cramping up every game.

League is very weak
Looks abit lightweight, soft and with no cutting edge atm. Casper is very questionable I think.

Hopefully gets a start on Tuesday, needs to build up some form, has been very poor the last 2.
Backing him to still be quality for us.

Three awful appearances in a row. Not sure what he had shown to even get subbed on tbh especially if the reason he didn’t start is because he was “injured”.
He is still young but he’s much more experienced than Saka/ESR and costs an experienced players fee and is probably on an experienced players wages. He needs to play well next game.
I’m not willing to make the same excuses that I make for attackers in Arteta’s system for a midfielder.
