Partey confirmed at Right Back
Partey confirmed at Right Back
That’s not really the point
The point is, what we miss in midfield by not having him there. Arteta will eventually accept that Rice is not a number 8 just as he had to accept Havertz isn’t a midfielder but I fear too many painful performances until he accepts this
Partey is ok defensively, it’s just that going forward he’s not confident enough to support the attack in a way he would be playing centrally. And I just think Merino is poor
If White can be on the Bench, he can start IMO

Newcastle: Pope, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock, Gordon, Isak, Joelinton.
Subs: Dubravka, Tonali, Barnes, Krafth, Osula, Almiron, Kelly, A Murphy, Miley.
Arsenal: Raya, Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Merino, Rice, Martinelli, Trossard, Saka, Havertz.
Subs: Neto, White, Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus.
My feeling is if we go hard at the beginning we could hammer them.
But probably harder to do that with this line-up.
I think Nwaneri should be starting - I just don't want Trossard being the one creating things really, would rather he was on the end of things
Agreed and I think if Partey had started in midfield with White at RB, we could have punished them early on and then maybe taken White off and hold onto what we had. This is the kind of team that will struggle to build up a head of steam and end up having to over commit. Last Sunday means we have to win here
White's not fit enough to start i don't think
Trossard sends a shot way wide.
awful from Trossard
1-0 Isak. Fuck.
