Arsenal fans point accusing fingers at Thomas Partey following Newcastle defeat

The 31-year-old returned to his usual midfield role after a stint at right-back against Brighton, raising hopes for a strong performance.

Unfortunately, Partey struggled to assert himself during the game and was substituted with 30 minutes remaining, making way for Jorginho.

The Italian midfielder made an immediate impact, creating more chances, completing more touches, and delivering more accurate passes in his brief time on the pitch.

Partey has been a key figure for Arsenal on numerous occasions, often earning praise for his contributions. However, this performance drew heavy criticism from fans, who took to X to voice their frustrations.

While some supporters argued that Partey was unfairly scapegoated for Arsenal’s overall poor display, others described his performance as lacklustre and below expectations.
