  • They do have some fantastic players this year. Son has rediscovered his form, Maddison is the best player in the league so far (perhaps Salah), Bissouma has settled very well and Udogie looks class too. They have a decent team.

    The problem I think they’ll face is that they have a significant drop off between their best players and the rest of the 11 and then another drop off with their reserves. I doubt they can sustain a title challenge because of that but you’d expect them to finish top four.





  • Partey is better receiving the ball under pressure than Rice. Partey is the perfect outlet for the defence when they’re pressing us high. Rice is the better tackler but he’s also much better at progressing the ball forward than Partey and his passing is excellent.

    At West Ham they needed a ball winner which is why he was the 6. At Arsenal we need a ball mover who can track back and tackle when needed. Since we have possession far more than West Ham, the Partey outlet is more important.
