Arsenal close gap on top-four race

Arsenal fans on social media have hailed Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey for his performance in the Gunners 2-1 win over Brentford in the English Premier League.

Arsenal kept up the pressure on their rivals for a top four place with a deserved 2-1 win over Brentford at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, February 19, 2022.

The Gunners were dominant in the first-half, but despite having 16 shots, failed to find the breakthrough.

Second-half goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka were enough to seal another important victory on Saturday as we beat Brentford to keep the heat on in the hunt for the top four.

Thomas Partey lasted the entire duration of the game as Arsenal move up to the 6th place on the league table on 42 points with three outstanding games behind West Ham United and Manchester United.

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
