Some Arsenal fans have applauded Mikel Arteta for replacing Jorginho with Thomas Partey during the interval in Wednesday’s 4-0 win over Everton.
With the Gunners two-nil up at the break, the manager sent in Partey and faithful were amazed at the impact of the Ghanaian.
💬WelBeast: “Jorginho is a good cover for Thomas Partey but my word, Thomas Partey comes on and it’s suddenly looking like a training session for Arsenal.”
💬Logan Casswell: “Jorginho came in and did great covering for Thomas Partey, but that second half display shows you just how good the Ghana international is. He came on and Arsenal instantly played with more calmness and authority. It’s important to never forget just how vital he is.”
💬Vidrico Ars: “Thomas Partey came on and all of a sudden we started playing with more calmness and authority. This guy is a beast. Jorginho was good in first half as well but the introduction of Partey felt like the final pieces of the puzzle have been assembled.”
💬Mamuda Lawal: “Jorginho came in and did great covering for Thomas Partey, but that second half display shows you just how good the Ghana international is. He came on and Arsenal instantly played with more calmness and authority. It’s important to never forget just how vital he is.”
💬JB: “It’s hard to spot the things Jorginho doesn’t do, until Partey comes on and does them.”
Partey will likely start Arsenal’s next game against Bournemouth.
