Jorginho

Think it was in this thread Gurgen said that he was slower, but a better footballer or something.

Burnwinter

QuincyAbeyie Less of a rapist as well.

I mean they are very different players. Partey's physically a beast so can move around quicker and cut off passes, defensively in particular he is far superior to Jorginho. When it comes to passing they're very different.

Yesterday not really a fair comparison because Partey came on when we were 2-0 up, Partey struggled against the same side when we played a couple weeks back. One thing which Everton did was mark Jorginho close and he got undone a few times, which is unusual because he is usually very press resistant. Partey is even better in that regard though imo. I don't know if Arteta was protecting Jorginho but he said he wasn't feeling good.

If fit though Partey starts but it is very good we have been able to ease him back in because in the past we would be under huge pressure to start him.

Gurgen

Burnwinter Important point.

But football wise: Partey played like prime Wim Jonk in the second half but Everton were not even trying. As Jazz said they're different players with different strengths.

QuincyAbeyie

That's a much more fair point than anything to with football obviously.

Apparently was ill during the Everton match and had to be subbed at half time. He was even less mobile and dropped into the RB position quite a bit. Still fairly effective mind.

Makes sense, I don't think Arteta would make that sub otherwise. He had a shocking start to the game, gave away the ball leading to dangerous counters 3 times in the opening 13 minutes, but he settled fairly well after that.

Don Pacifico

Reassuring to read that he's ill and not injured. Think we'll definitely need to lean on him for the remainder of the season.

lorddulaarsenal

Yeah not his best. When he’s not playing well he can appear to treat the ball as a bit of a hot potato

flobaba

If he was that sick, why did we start him for the game? Can't our medical team do a basic evaluation?

JazzG

Love how well he has integrated into the squad

So it looks like Arteta has added two more Artetas in Zinchenko and Jorginho to the side. Tripled our Arteta factor! Genius.

JazzG

He also congratulated the Arsenal Women on their win today, which is a nice gesture. Especially when you consider they beat Chelsea 😁

Can see George being a manger in future.

Claudius

Clrnc great character guy.
You can see the quality of recruitment at the team now. You see Korginho walking in the door, and you feel really good because he’s not just an accomplished player, he’s a leader with strong mentality.

Must also be great for the Brazilian and Portuguese youngsters to have him around as a mentor

Burnwinter

The league must currently be full of players looking at what Arteta's doing at present and getting inspired—even more so than when it's been Lampard, Gerrard, Solskjaer, Parker etc.

Claudius

Burnwinter but are they as sharp as Arteta? He was always hyped up. Is why Pep took him under his wing.
I want to see what happens with Xhaka and Elneny as well. Would be great if we could fill football with Arsenal people.

Burnwinter

Claudius but are they as sharp as Arteta?

Well, probably not. There was that decent "Arteta is not normal" Twitter thread posted after our weekend victory that outlined the various ways in which Arteta's rise to managing Arsenal, and the results he's been obtaining have been way outside statistical norms.

However, I'm sure even within our own squad (Jorginho aside) there must be players who are getting a taste of the kinds of things Arteta takes an interest in and imagining themselves becoming managers.

It's always gonna be an exclusive domain, after all the Premier League sees fewer than 100 managers appointed each decade, and many of those are forgotten quickly …

JazzG

Mama knows.
