    Partey has been poor lately but he’s still the first name on the team sheet for me.

    I think he’s having to drop very deep to collect the ball at the moment and that means he’s getting caught in dangerous areas a lot. Our transition play has gone to shit and he’s an essential cog in that wheel working effectively. Hopefully he turns up against City.

    There we are a slightly more reasonable view

    I think it’s a combination of him being poor…sloppy on the ball…and not enjoying the protection he had with someone who was comfortable on the ball enough to play out from the ball at centre back. Either in Saliba or Ben White the previous season

    Partey is the best player in the team.

    That's not even remotely debatable. It's not an opinion. It's an observable fact.

    If you don't think he is then you're a spastic.

    It's as simple as that.

    The only observable fact is that you’re a danger to children

    Exactly.

    He's very clearly had to adapt to a different style in which he's recieving the ball in midfield where he can turn and progress, which is what he's so brilliant at. Just now he's having to drop right back and try to play out from there.
    He made a couple of unrelated mistakes but who gies a fuck?

    It's the simplicity of 'analysis' that gets me

    I'd stand by the concept of dropping someone if they are playing very poorly, no matter what they're like when they're good, albeit it there aren't many other options

    Anyway it doesn't make any difference, talking about who to play on Weds is just moving deckchairs around on the Titanic

    You've got to be trolling?

    Partey? Turn and progress?

    You must think people are blind.

    The one thing you can absolutely guarantee is that Partey will get the ball and find some way, even if it's close on impossible, to SLOOOOOOOOWLY pass it backwards. And even then he often manages to find the opposition.

    Absolute shitkicker of a non-player and one of the primary reasons the title is heading north.

    What he said.

    But on a serious note, we really need to get to a safe place where everyone is droppable...no one should be allowed to get away with shit displays week in and out.

    Anyway Partey should play...and hopefully stay the full 90mins to ensure the "voodoo" of him not losing a game he starts and finishes (at least in the EPL this season) holds.

    The reason Partey is undroppable is because Central midfield is the one area where we have no depth. Elneny? Why the fuck did we give him a new contract. We need proper players not mascots.

    We need an improvement on Xhaka in the No 8 role and we need someone who is just as good if not better than Partey in the no 6 role (and genuinely think Caicedo is that player)

    I don't get the Xhaka hate. I really don't.

    Is he the best to ever play the role? Nope. But at least he's male. Same can't be said for most of the rest.
