The point is that’s less about how good Partey is and how shit the other central midfielders are

Why do you think I keep banging on and on and on about this. It’s embarrassing having Xhaka in our midfield…to a degree Partey can cover for his inadequacies and his total lack of discipline but that we’ve spent 300 million since Arteta joined us and that central midfield is the state it is makes me wonder about Arteta’s mental stability.

We have three defenders who cost a combined total of 120 million pound and yet by playing this shite in front of them
We are making them look like amateurs. This is what I mean when I say Arteta is sandbagging his own team.
