Well said, it feels like Pete wants TP to be injured so Declan doesn't get benched. In my opinion I believe Declan Rice will be the one that shares minutes with Merino as long as TP stays fit.

Really Peter, Partey will break down again! How can you be so certain?

I have a hunch this is the season we lift the much sought after EPL trophy and mind you, Partey will be pivotal to it.

For all the fuss here about Merino seamlessly slipping into the 6 position, let it be known that he doesn't have the skills to do that.

He excels in the 8 where let's be honest, Rice has floundered all season.

And rather than keep repeating like a broken record that Partey will be injured again, let's all wish him an injury free season!

Let's be honest.... Partey was a bit of a crock 2 seasons ago.

Was it a masterstroke from Arteta to have him hung out to dry last season after his injury to allow him to get back to full strength? I really would like to think so as he has such a unique vision that it really looks like we are finally benefiting from his genius this season.

It's interesting how confident Arteta is with Øde's return.

Let's see whether he can be fit for the Liverpool game as it would be amazing if he can be.

It feels too early but then again I am not the doctor here.

Getting a fit body back in the fold is so important considering how trimmed down our teams when it has too many players that are crocks.
