  1. The Partey injury was inevitable this season and that was the reason I hoped we would’ve sold him while there was interest the past transfer window. He is too injury prone and high risk to be relying on as a pivotal figure in our starting eleven. There might be some uncomfortable discussions to be had about Partey. When he plays he is one of our best players but the best quality in a football player is availability and he isn’t available enough for us.

    Ibrahim Sangaré was available for 35 million on deadline day which would’ve been one alternative to replace Partey in the team for example. Not the same quality for sure but an option.

  2. Q does anyone think smith Rowe at left 8 running at casemiro could be worth a try. Wolves style, he's our best dribbler in the middle and might be interesting 🤔

  3. Weird that we need to keep on gving chance to one player while we don't gv other players chance to proof themselves like esr..and how is trossard not playing over Eddie, yeah Eddie scored some, but trossard was on a good run when arteta dropped him, how do u expect one to get things running when we keep dropping him when his performing

  4. Took Ferguson out of my fantasy coz he wasn’t starting this GW…..
    Maybe I should I just fill me team with sp*rs , City and United players now

  5. With the partey injury… Its what arteta wanted, he wanted a way to push the player out the team. By playing him at RB then moving to mid when In possession… Arteta knows of his injuries and playing 2 positions in one is just stupidity… Especially at parteys age

  6. [sigh] I wish I could say that Partey being out, right when we need him the most, was the devastating blow that it should be, but is anyone really shocked or surprised? Surely this is just expected by now and we have many, many contingency plans for exactly this scenario? If I were Arteta I’d be conducting regular sessions without him, much like Wenger used to train with 10 men – when the chances of a specific event happening are that high and predictable, then lack of preparation is inexcusable.

  7. I disagree that Rashford is "Miles better" than Martinelli as a striker!… I also disagree with respect to consistency…As a LW I would pick rashford Just …barely because I think he has similar pace and has better IQ and cuts on the right leg better than Martinelli but AS A Striker ? I think if rashford were good, HE would have held on to that position in MAn Utd Since!! They have been in search of a striker for way too long and they have had rashford all the while….! For a tall lad he doesn't have good hold up play…and the simple fact that we are comparing him to Martinelli who has rarely palyed upfront says how much he has failed as a striker !

  8. Why are we getting informations from Arsenal FC from the Ghanaian FA? Honestly i am tired of Partey always getting injured when we want to face big teams. Why is he always injured when we want to face Man U or City? Thomas Partey must not be at this club next season. I am really tired of this. Why do players sustain these injuries in training? What kind of training make you look lose players all the time. I am so so upset at this Thomas Partey injury? I hate this guy now.

  9. Nah I will have Jojinho instead of Kai, we need more robustness in the middle and more ball progression and control. Kai is still passing sideways and backwards, not good on the half turn. Jojinho has a line breaking pass

  10. If Partey being injured keeps him away from full back and Rashford running at him then myself and I'm sure Partey himself are relieved ! .. and as for midfield then Rice and Jorginho is my pick to keep it solid !

  11. I'll go with 4-2. It's about time we converted the large number of chances we've been getting, the number of shots and shots on target, and I think this will be the day we get a decent number in the back of the net. But with our system of playing as much of the game in the oppositions half of the pitch, we are always susceptible to opposition breaks where teams have rapid forwards, so I see them getting 2 against us. Nketiah 2, Havertz 1, Odegaard 1.

  12. This sqaud is worse than last season due to the Timber injury.we have champions league football as well its gonna be a tough season top 4 could be a struggle

  13. I still honestly believe our two major signings in this window should of been caicedo and rice. For me caicedo covers Rb and at worse rice covers cb. Straight away we have an issue with Partey. His role in the team is the most important in the team. Yes Jorginho can cover but not for a serious amount of games.
    Just my opinion.

  14. Right now Partey really needs to be replaced. Out til December basically if what there saying is true and January I guess he will be out because of Afcon. Partey appears to be the new Diaby

  15. Q – given yet another party injury do you think the front office will look for a replacement on his level probably next summer and then sell him on to the Saudi league to get some money back
