Thomas Partey: Footballing Performance Thread

[MauveGunner]

Man is true class. Became the benchmark of the team to know if we're playing well or not. When he's too much on the ball or involved in defensive actions you know we're in trouble.

 

[GDeep™]

Was there any need for this? You've had a bad day.

I think so, why not? Feels weird.

 

[HollandGooner]

He is world class tbf, what he is doing this season is just playing to his quality.

 

[TinFish]

I miss his row Z shots

He’s our worst midfielder apparently, according to Mitch.

You're understating this. Mitch once said he's 'not good enough for our bench' and has firmly held this opinion pretty much from the first day Partey signed.

I think it may be some kind of personal dispute.

I miss his row Z shots

The rumor is he once blinded a small child in row 33 of south stand upper, from that day onwards he vowed to work to improve his long-shot accuracy.

If you watch Partey play 5 matches; max 10 matches and are not convinced he is world class you don’t know football then. He recycles possession and moves the ball with precision so quickly he makes the entire squad purr like a Ferrari at 200kph.

A Partey post match interview? Whaaaaaaaaat?

...when's he's on it, best DM in the league.

 

[MikeVinna]

Lets hope White stays fit and Saliba’s back soon. Shifting Partey to RB would be such a shame..

 

[Tnegs]

I hope we get another 2-3 seasons of him at this level what a player he is. Would take him above any other DM I’ve seen us play since 1996 on this form.

And he looked like he was chilling

 

[Iwobeast]

Most elegant DM I've ever seen, it's like he doesn't even break a sweat while dominating the midfield every week

 

[GDeep™]

He seems really focused since the summer.

 

[TromsoGooner]

Who and where are Ghana playing?

Best DM at the club since Flamini in 07/08 according to some.

He is even more impressive when you look at him live. Game looks so easy for him. Glides through the pitch. Wins takles and headers for fun. And his passing breaking the lines is top notch. Hopefully he stays fit for the next couple of years, because no one can replicate what he offers. One of a kind.

Gonna be pretty funny when Casermiro gets in the team of the year instead of him, based on scoring goals against poor teams and being poor defensively/ducking through idiocy all the big games.

That's what you are looking for from your DM
