Last season Palace prevented Partey from progressing the ball when they used Gallagher and Mateta to take turns sitting on him in their press. They also nullified any central progression to Xhaka or Odegaard in the half-spaces and packed the middle.
The #6 in Arsenal’s system this season has had less responsibility in the build-up as the LB has tucked in, which allows Xhaka to drift wide. What they need to do is keep the ball, measured pass selection, and someone who keeps it ticking.
This is why Elneny was so good vs Fulham. Partey can also play risky and intelligent through balls to find underlaps from the interiors, constant fizzed BTL passes and between narrow gaps, long balls over the top, etc. When on his game he can do all of that.
The fundamental issue is his consistency and tempo control. Being able to realize when to be aggressive with your passes and when you need to slow it down.
Games like Nottingham Forest won't tell me if he’s improved on that. Leeds (A) and Southampton (A) are the matches to show that, but he didn’t. When the game is on a knife edge will he slow the game down and keep it simple?
One single player can't dictate the pace of a game on his own. He will need players with pausa around him to dictate tempo. Busquet had Messi, Xavi,and Iniesta. Rodri has Bernado and Gundogan around him. Partey is overachieving in his #6 role at Arsenal
To be honest once u nullifying partey n xhaka...odeegard will just nullify himself.
Its a pity he's just learning this at Arsenal. It was a different ball game at ATM.
Tottenham and liverpool games didn't show he could settle the ship, you only noticed in the games where the whole team struggled, empty analysis
Analyses such as these are why I follow football discussions, regardless of whether I agree or not. Keep them coming!
If Martineli cuts inside and Tomiyasu overlaps, it will help the attack......hugging the touchline, makes it easy for defenders to keep him quiet, but if he is unpredictable, we can improve our attack, Saka's crosses will have bodies in the box, incase he can't cut inside.
This is what @nonewthing said but people called for his head
Another internet coach who is talking arrant nonsense..you know so much, why buy a boot and get a club and play for..brainless nonce
