Giant.

Best game in Arsenal shirt. Bossed the midfield, recovered a lot of balls, good passing.

Thatā€™s the Thomas Partey we paid the big money for, thatā€™s the Thomas Partey we need to show up consistently.

I agree, although to be fair to Partey he has had a very stop start season with injuries. Fully back him and still think this was an amazing deal last summer.

Massive waste of money. Shit signing.

We should have known not to sign someone called Partey during a pandemic

The thing thatā€™s annoying is that he has the quality, but he just fucking loses his head out of nowhere and starts spraying it aimlessly and it happens a lot. So fucking disappointed in how inconsistent he is, not good enough at all.

That stats guy said we should swerve him

He was fine until that injury at Spurs where he got rushed back on for no good reason. Since then heā€™s looked completely shot.

Heā€™s too good to fail.

Get a proper manager in and he dominates. The longer heā€™s been under the instruction of Arteta, the worse he has got.

A lot of his giveaways were aggressive passes trying to create and make shit happen at least.

How do you explain his dumb tackles though? Bad decision making is becoming a hallmark of his game here.

I think he just isnā€™t enjoying his football anymore. If you look at the body language and facial expressions of not just Thomas but other players itā€™s very telling and clear that they are just not enjoying playing for this team. The way Arteta running his drills, training and setting his team up is ruining these players.

Itā€™s like if you combine the worst of Conte and Rafa Benitez, and make it about 100x shitter, you get Arteta.

Iā€™m loathe to read body language. The players do seem to have a decent relationship with each other. Obviously Lacazette and Auba have that bromance going on.

I wonder with Partey specifically if going from a manager with such a distinct style and clear vision of how he wants to do things to a guy who literally has no track record is just a bad fit.

Thought the players idolize Arteta a lot and love playing for him?

Fucking Cabellos getting bullied by Foyth now.

Arteta has nerfed known quantities with a his coaching.

Partey is a quality addition and he needs a proper manager in charge
