According to Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta will shine if given enough time.
“It was a great performance from the whole team and it was great to see Thomas Partey play like that even though he’s not been here long.
“Off the pitch, he’s a really humble guy and you can see that on the pitch as well because he really gives everything in the game,” he said.
“He is really simple and quiet, so humble, and we all really like him.
“On the pitch, his strengths are his energy and the way he can stop counter-attacks and dangerous situations. That’s really important for us.
“I think he locked down three of Manchester United’s midfielders on Sunday – that’s my point of view anyway – and that’s really important for us.
“Also he can play forward really well when he regains the ball and that’s a good point for us.”
Well, let’s hope that Charley is right. It would definitely increase our confidence of getting something out of the game at Elland Road if we brought Partey to the Party!
Further, Monaco midfielder Fabregas believes that the Spanish manager will get back on ground soon.
“Listen, it’s a transition period,” told 90min. “Mikel has his ideas, but it takes time. The problem for a coach nowadays is that you have no time. You lose three games, everyone is asking for your head.
“I know it’s very, very difficult because you want to implement your ideas, and it’s a process. Sometimes, it’s difficult because football is moving very quickly, everyone wants to win, there’s pressure from the board, from the fans, from the players. You’re on the spot every single day.
