Thomas Partey: Body Falling Apartey

[Trilly]

Remember that game when Son dusted him and made him look like an uncle?

I wasn’t familiar that Partey had that burst in him.

Bro I think this is the only game that he’s cared about winning.

How you been here like three years and only shown your top speed once?

he’s opened my eyes now. I think I’m going to have higher expectations for him now until the end of the season.

It’s really got me thinking that he has an extra level to his game but isn’t showing us

He’s saving it for the champions league

Poor sequence on the Rashford goal but really grew into the game. He is so intelligent in his positioning when Gabriel or Saliba go forward, he's always there to occupy the spaces. Cut out some of the sloppy moments and he's perfect.

This is why he is so valuable. Never puts his head down. Made two mistakes in a row on the Rashford goal and then stepped it up. Winners mentality.

His tracking on the breakaway was likely the fastest he’a run in his life. Stopped a goal opportunity at a critical time.

Fastest I’ve ever seen him move, guy has been coasting his entire Arsenal career up until now.

Where has he been hiding this pace? Been playing on recruit difficulty all this time

Maybe Arteta told him to not go full gear, injuries and that lol. Better 80% Partey then no Partey.

This all day long. Stay in the safe performance zone, stay at 70%, and don’t go anywhere near thunderous challenges FFS.

It’s quite hypocritical of me really. I’m endorsing exactly the kind of stuff I called out Özil for

And tbf your job in midfield doesn't involve as much sprinting as other positions anyway, its more the ability to turn quickly before you get clattered by some orc.

True story. I played as a striker, tried midfield once got battered. Way more difficult than it looks on tv.

I played as a 10 and 8 when I was younger to a decent (obviously not pro) level, got injured all the time FFS.

Did he pick up an injury or was it always the plan to only play him for a half?

Always the plan.

Lot of people stirring ****, but he isn't injured.

No injury, just pre game plan.

Partey told Arteta he wasn't playing the second half, he could sub someone else on if he wanted but Thomas wasn't coming back out.

Common sense would say that our most important midfielder was not going to play 90 minutes in an fa cup game. It's not even the semis or the final.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Oh god not this again

 

[boonthegoon]

Uh oh

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hopefully it's not his thighs. Did something happened before HT? He look normally fine to me

[Yousif Arsenal]

Glad its not thighs or muscular.
