It always surprises me how much energy he has. When he first came I didn't want him to replace ESR without earning it. But he fully deserves his spot atm.
As for Partey, fack me he is sloppy.
His fitness is a massive issue
There has to be an inquest into that last 10 mins. Our game management was painfully abject.
Odegaard was immense today. It's been a while since we had a natural No.10 to make those late Ramsey-esque runs into the box.
Having said that, it's a shame that we still have to rely on loanees despite spending half a billion quid over 5 years.

Can’t figure out the issue with him; was screaming at the telly all game at his lethargy.
Tbf, it was just the usual toxic caaants having a go at him. You could see his ability, but was just struggling in a new team.
Regarding partey, I think the guy just needs some good training sessions while taking a break from starting games. He didn't look this unfit earlier in the season, think he'll be up to speed once the fixtures start easing up again. If they even do, not even checked.
Partey was a beast at Old Trafford. Ran the game against pogba and Co. He was driving withe ball and was really intense.
Shadow of that player
ESR had a better game that M11 and is generally a better player. ESR is great at turning on the ball quickly in tight pockets in the final third and driving at the opposition. Odegaard plays it safe more often than not. Both good players though. And no way did ESR fade in the second half.
Partey will be fine. Just had a bad game for his standards. Still an immense player and does a priceless job for us.

He did fade which is why he always gets subbed

No mystery. It's Arteta and his ridiculous possession obsession. This is a manager with a philosophy of "One goal is enough to win a game, so don't risk possession trying to score more." When we have total control of the game and should be pressing the advantage to put the game to bed. Numpty manager wants the ball sat on in MF/Def because he'd rather just hold onto it for the rest of the game than risk losing it trying to score anything but a dead cert of a goal.
Best get used to it because he ain't gonna change and ultimately we ain't gonna win sh!t whilst he's in charge. The game management being so poor is a direct reflection of the severely limited ability (currently) of the manager running the show.
