We win a high percentage of games with Partey/Xhaka in midfield. One curious thing is even if they don’t even have to have a standout game. It all just seems to go our way.
+1 Would've gotten Top 4 if Kroenke had shelled out the cash for Guimaraes last winter.We should have signed Bruno Guimaraes.

White was such a pointless signing. Did nothing to improve us that Saliba wouldn’t have offered.Bruno would be awesome last summer.
In winter Newcastle slided in with 250k per week which I doubt we'd pay.
Last summer keep Saliba, get Bruno G for White money and nobody would complain plus we'd probably have a better season. But some people here don't want to admit it.

Hope it works out for Iwobi. He has size, passing, control, dribbling ability. Its just close to goal where it all goes wrong for him. Think it can with a cdm next to him like Gana.You guys want a new 6?
Hear me out.

When is A-M gonna respect me for my spot on football knowledge? Every washed up clown on here is trusted yet all I am is disrespected. I’m A-M’s benzema ffsDefinitely , he can do close to what Dembele used to do for Spur. Iwobi is great for ball retention and carrying .
Shocked to open this thread and see some of the negativity around his performance. I thought he was quite good, arguably one of our better performers on the night.
You can criticize Partey without having to bring Xhaka into it bro, he was elite Saturday. Partey is not and has not been performing at normal levels for a while now, he himself conceded that by rating his time here so low, we all know what it's related too, a psychological stress that would break most people. The club must believe the problem will go away eventually otherwise they wouldn't have persisted with him till this point.Despite his reputation, during first half him and Xhaka stood out as the technically worst players in the team. At least Xhaka was kinda making up for it by providing other positive aspects to the game. Meanwhile Partey's game is very bipolar, really sloppy and loose with the ball half the time while at other times he was really good on the ball and made some nice passess. His performances really aren't good enough to justify the controversy his selections is causing plus his potential future vocation, are they?
I didn't really criticise Xhaka, just stated a fact that he looked one of the weakest technically. I think even the biggest Xhaka fanboys can admit he is not exactly a technical maestro. In contrast to Partey who almost everyone rates higher, I even gave Xhaka credit for making up for it with the other good aspects he provided.You can criticize Partey without having to bring Xhaka into it bro, he was elite Saturday.

People keep talking about LCM and RW competition, we need CDM competition as El neny is not even close to the level required. El neny should be more of a 3rd option who primarily plays in league cup and Europa league games. Also can use him to see out games. We need another powerful and technical CDM who reads the game well. And with all the baggage with Partey he has also been injury prone since he has been here.Despite his reputation, during first half him and Xhaka stood out as the technically worst players in the team.
