Pointed out an unmarked Wijnaldum, before wandering off to mark space. 3 seconds later, back of the net.

I like to see midfielders who know what they are doing in the engine room of the team and go about it without drama. Partey balled like a true Ghanaian midfielder, I would have given him the Mom,, if not for that deadly assassin by name Lloriente

Big move. Bigger money. Brighter lights and he becomes a shadow of his former self. There’s something near terminal about the titling Eze Ego. Is it the added fame, fortune or expanded entourages? All too often, the big move brings about a certain malaise absent till the extra zero arrived. Look at Ndombele, so Igwe’d now as to find the act of movement towards the ball abominable. Should Partey move, let’s hope he doesn’t follow suit with many predecessors more concerned with parte after parte than anything else. Good luck to the lad.

Not really. DNA will definitely prove that this one is 99.9% from Afuze, Nigeria.

Coming from somebody who thinks Ndidi is the world's best, I am not surprised.

He moved from France to England at around the same age and the rest is history

Chief -- Not sure about that. One of the best passers in the game period

Passing stats are pretty much identical this season. Same passes per game and % is similar. Ndidi is fractionally higher

Ndidi with more tackles won per game is clearly better the defender. But offensively Partey is better
