Does anybody have any ideas why Partey didn’t come on from the bench in yesterday’s game?
Better yet, why we not starting him for chelski away?
Didn’t start because he’s just come back from injury.
Didn’t sub him on because we were losing so made attacking substitutions.
He played 100 mins over the international break btw
IMO it’s a bit complicated but he’s not a good “keeper” of the ball like Jorginho. That’s why I’m thinking the next midfield recruitment won’t be a stereotypical CDM(Lavia). It will be more like a Jorginho or a “passing” CM. See players like Gundogan, Kroos, FdJ. You could include Locatelli and Zubimendi too.
So, Chelsea are a very energetic side. You need to hide the ball as much as possible because you’re not going to outrun them. They recruited heavily on the physical. So, hide the ball because they also suck at keeping it.
I’ve been of the view that since late last season, we’d have gotten rid of him if there was a decent offer. Matter of fact, I feel if Timber was fit, he’d be playing in the zones Thomas is being forced to play since late last season.
