In recent weeks (before the Brighton game), we saw glimpses of how our team can put together some good performances (especially against the scum).

Much of this was down to our young players (ESR, Saka, Gabriel etc.).

What is still concerning me is how very ordinary our midfield is when the aforementioned players are not carrying Partey and Odegaard.

The question is, if Partey has still not improved and become the influntial midfielder that we expected at 28, is it time to cash in? In addition, I honestly believe that Odegaard was a bit of a panic buy and rarely shows he is the man for the job.

Brighton were carving through our midfield last Saturday with ease and in fairness, it was only our good defensive performance that we got a 0-0 draw.

Lokonga is only 21 and SHOULD improve. Thus far however, I am not impressed
