Partey was actually one of the worst players on the pitch. I might be on my own with this but for the past few weeks, Lokonga has played better than him and I think we would have played better with Lokonga/Elneny. I’m seeing people scapegoat Tavares today but he actually had a good game whilst Partey lost CR7 for the second goal by not tracking his run.
Auba has been playing against us for over a season now and I know he’s a fan favourite but he has to be dropped. He offers very little in terms of link up play and he’s missing sitters. Arsenal are in a messy situation with our strikers because two of them are due to leave at the end of the season, one has no form and the other can’t get a chance because “he’s not ready yet.” I think Arteta needs to bring in an attacking coach because we’re in his third season now and the team still doesn’t have consistent patterns of play in the final third.
Odegaard had a Xhaka moment with that penalty but quietly, he was in the middle of all our good looking attacking spells. We looked out of ideas once Arteta took him off.
I'm sad.
