Thomas Partey: Midfield Tank Engine

[hydrofluoric acid]

This is a midfielder that is world-class.

Pogba only good for blowing up animals balloons at birthday parties.

In fairness Fabinho and Partey both have similar body types but I think Partey is way more athletic and agile. He has good pace for a tall midfielder and natural strength despite a slight frame.

I just don't see it with Ceballos and Xhaka. Ceballos has decent technique on the ball, but he is so slow and weak. He holds on to the ball too long at times. I don't think it would be a good idea to resign him after his loan. We need to find two midfielders to help Partey out. One creative mid and another CM that can pass, good under pressure and sound positioning. El neny has been good, but he is still best used as a squad option.

I rate Ceballos higher than you but I think this is overall where I am. We need an eleven where everyone is mobile otherwise unless you control 70%+ possession, it restricts your game.

Admittedly, obviously I'm biased but he's already better than Fabinho. Much more in his locker IMO, though Fabinho is a wonderful player in his own right.

He's actually younger than Fab which is surprising

Not really, look at the disparity in hair.

 

[Red London]

Hopefully his injury isnt bad, any word on it?

Apparently he took a knock when he closed down the back pass to Martinez early in the match...Emi the prick, taking out our best player!

He played on for majority of 1st half so surely not that bad

 

[tap-in]

You could see him grab his thigh when he ran for the poor back pass to Martinez. Good that he gets a break, hopefully its nothing too serious.

Agent Emi, Maybe just enought to keep him out of internationals and be rested.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hopefully nothing serious he rarely get injured thankfully there international break to rest.

Thomas Partey only played 45 minutes and yet was second in the team for progressive passes (6) only behind Hector Bellerin.

 

[Red London]

Its strange I havent seen him much yet but he seems to so far be great at going forward and pure tackling, but has seemed like positionally he needs to improve. Feel like I saw gaps behind him a couple times this game and vs United.

But anyway hes our best midfielder and if our attack actually starts firing he can be integral to that.

hopefully he'll be ready after the international without him we'll be in much bigger trouble.

 

[Trilly]

It already looks like we can't defend without him so that's worrying.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Only at Arsenal

I feel like he’s the best midfielder we’ve had in years.

Thank ****!

He's pretty much our only real hope in midfield at the minute, takes whoever he is playing next to up a level.
