He’s been the best midfielder in the league for me. Anyone who has actually watched him knows it.
Have lost count how many times I’ve watched a game with someone who doesn’t often watch Arsenal games in full and they’re blown away by how good Partey actually is. You really have to watch him outside of highlights to understand what he actually brings.
I say this as a massive Casemiro fan, Partey is on a whole different level. It’s not even close for me. And this season he has simply been clear of Rodri too.
The superlatives for this guy, honestly there was one move when two opponents were pushing him back to our goal and he just flips the ball through them and turns and is away heading onto their goal and the looks of bewilderment of the opposing players is
I just wish he stays fit and active for as long as he can, a bit like Modric… We will miss this guy so much when starts declining… I hope he retires here. He’s just special.
I would not be surprised if Thomas Partey requires a specialised training regime. Maybe the thigh injury he had a month ago is still a potential problem area. Physio is there to make sure he isn’t overworked.
