In most games it asked too much of Partey. But if a team is going to lie deep, might as well replace a CM with an AM.
Partey instantly looked better whenever he was asked to play a deeper role. When he started too high, he was almost anonymous. Sure, when he was basically alone in midfield because Ceballos was overlapping to protect Xhaka, he looked stretched, but that isn't what a normal 433 would look like.
