I’m confused how Partey’s return is meant to help us? Our problems are not in build up which is Partey’s strength. His longshots into row Z will not break down low blocks
Rice Partey is still better than Jorginho Partey. Will help us win CL final 1-0 style
Well, we are building up slower and creating fewer chances this season. That’s just fact.
Also it will be December fixtures soon which is the most hectic part of the season. Need everyone fit.
If you build faster you face less low blocks. And he feeds our attackers through the block as good as anyone in world football.
Partey is still Partey.
I agree with most of what you’re saying but with Partey, at least Rice will be able to shoot at goal in central positions. Only Trossard seems to do it well.
Odegaard has stuggled without Partey picking up his movement for a line-breaking pass. Speed of build up is likely our biggest attacking issue.
If I could pretend for a moment that your question wasn’t completely disingenuous, and not simply intended to flog false premises, your confusions might have been worth answering.
He is still better than Jorginho defensively, and Rice will have a bit more freedom to go forward (or maybe Partey will be the one going forward).
