Arsenal supporters are taking aim at Thomas Partey and Eddie Nketiah because they think the Ghanaians are to blame for their team’s Premier League loss to Manchester City on February 16, 2023.
Following a thigh injury that Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta believes to be preventative, Thomas Partey was forced to leave the game.
On the other hand, Eddie Nketiah was careless during the game and squandered some obvious opportunities that were offered to him.
On social media, Arsenal fans are fuming as they believe the performance would have been better had Partey been in the side. They are frustrated that the Ghanaian midfielder always seems to sustain injuries in the most serious parts of the season.
Nketiah on the other hand has been put on blast for wasting the chances that many believe a good striker should have scored.
They hold that for a team that is challenging for the title, Arsenal cannot have Eddie Nketiah missing those great opportunities.
They are praying and hoping for Gabriel Jesus’ quick return from the injury he sustained at the World Cup and speedy recovery for Thomas Partey.
Manchester City leapfrogged Arsenal to the summit of the Premier League table with 3-1 victory over the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium.
Kevin De Bruyne scored first to put Manchester City ahead but Buakayo Saka pulled parity via the spot before Grealish and Haaland pounced on mistakes by Arsenal to win the game.
City are now top of the league via goal difference with both teams having 51 points each.
