Add partey into the mix as well

He likes to take up the same position as Odegaard in attack so offers another alternative formation in 4-3-3 with him and Smith Rowe ahead of Partey but able to cut in side on their favourite foot. https://t.co/X507zcx3jr

needs to leave Manchester rather. Pogba’s got a spot next to Partey in our XI waiting for him

Arsenal have scored 36 PL goals this season. 20 of them have been scored or assisted by Saka or Emile Smith Rowe

Xhaka been kinda really good since the red card though. Under the radar.
Partey too.

Encouraging to see Arteta use Xhaka as a number 8 pushing up between-the-lines v Brentford.

He's always wanted a 433.

Maybe the plan isn't for a Bruno Guimarães/Ruben Neves type and a more offensive between the lines receiver?

This summer a great midfielder is a must for our club. Xhaka needs a partner and Partey is not good enough. I would go all in for AC Milan's Kessie.

Even in attacking this season ESR outperforms him. ESR only has odegaard partey and saka de bruyne has the whole city squad. pic.twitter.com/7kcV5vg0IM

Has Arteta decided that Thomas Partey is the pillar around which everyone else orbits?
Looks like he's become our pivot player.

Seeing a lot of praise for Xhaka and Partey on Saturday. They were both okay. Neither of them moved the ball particularly quickly, but they were assured and neither made major mistakes. That’s the bare minimum required for midfielders at #Arsenal. The absolute bare minimum. #afc pic.twitter.com/Vk4P13c8vN
