BREAKING NEWS ‼️: “Forget about his past glories, This guy isn’t playing up to Arsenal’s standard anymore…
Arteta should let him leave”: Arsenal legend Arsène Wenger names ONE player responsible for the Gunners’ defeat yesterday
In a stunning post-match analysis, legendary former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger did not hold back in his criticism following Arsenal’s disappointing defeat yesterday. Speaking to reporters, Wenger pinpointed a single player he believes was largely responsible for the Gunners’ lackluster performance, suggesting it may be time for Mikel Arteta to make a difficult decision.
“Forget about his past glories—this guy isn’t playing up to Arsenal’s standard anymore,” Wenger said bluntly. “When you wear the Arsenal badge, consistency and commitment are non-negotiable. Unfortunately, he hasn’t shown either.”
While Wenger did not directly name the player in the immediate aftermath, insiders later confirmed he was referring to midfielder Thomas Partey, whose return from injury was marred by a sluggish display. The Ghanaian international struggled to control the midfield, giving away possession cheaply and appearing off the pace throughout the match.
Wenger, known for nurturing talent during his reign at the club, stressed that sentimentality cannot get in the way of progress. “We must look at the present and the future. If a player cannot meet the demands of this level, then it’s time to consider moving on.”
Partey, once seen as a key figure in Arsenal’s midfield engine, has battled injuries and inconsistency this season. With rising stars like Declan Rice and Jorginho stepping up, Wenger’s comments may signal the end of the road for Partey at the Emirates.
Whether Arteta heeds his predecessor’s advice remains to be seen, but with the season reaching its critical stage, tough decisions could be on the horizon.
