This Elneny in the Partey role has to end btw. You want to use Elneny, you have to double pivot.
This guy was stressing like a maniac every time he received the ball in and around our penalty box, against f'n League 1 players.
Lost count of the amount of times our back 5 had to go long because Elneny was hiding trying to avoid getting the ball.
Trying fit a square peg into a f'n round hole.
Absolutely embarrassing a club with our scouting system can't find someone, at least short-term, that can do a better job than Elneny and Lokonga as a #6.
This was because of Sambi. Even when Partey plays, if we're building up from the back and partey receives from defence Xhaka drops back a bit and offers a passing option. Sambi did nothing. Partey usually also benefits from our inverted fullbacks, whereas here Tierney and Tomi both had shockers.
Miraculously this stopped being such a problem for Elneny after Xhaka came on...
