After the United game, numerous Arsenal fans feel Partey’s performance channeled more of a Casemiro-like disappointment, leading to frustration and a desire to move on from him.
After nearly causing a penalty with a clumsy tackle on Amad in the first half, Partey’s overall performance was deemed poor by many Arsenal fans, prompting calls for him to be moved on. Here’s a selection of reactions:
Gooner Talk: “Thomas Partey is playing like someone who needs to be moved on to the Saudi league in summer.”
James Benge: “Partey is playing like a relic from last season’s Arsenal. It looks like the moment has got to him.”
Will Balsam: “We simply can’t rely on Thomas Partey for so many reasons. No recovery speed. Too many matches where he’s all over the place out of possession and not nearly secure enough on the ball. The injury woes obviously as well.”
TK Afc: “Every game Partey makes so many errors. This could have been a pen, he’s given the ball away countless times, Partey panic in the box to give away a corner etc etc. Time to sell in the summer imo.”
Scarred_Carnage: “Thomas Partey channeling his inner Casemiro by jogging back today.”
