Partey can consistently beat the press, take opposition pressing players out of position and transition the ball from defense to our forward players. Our attacking and transitioning have been slow because we’re missing Partey at the moment. We’re seeing Rice trying and doing more of that in recent games but he still can’t be compared to Partey at the moment.
When Thomas Partey drops a 10/10 performance, it’s not just world class, but best in the world. Easily better than Rodri.
He has this knack to control games and give our front 5 wayyy more time.
Unpressable, so much so that defenses start sagging off of him a bit, giving us much more time.
Declan is the better player going forward, but in terms of dominating and controlling a game, Partey is one of the best in the world.
