BREAKING NEWS: I trusted him to save me from the fans’ criticism, but he still put in a poor performance. I’m honestly disappointed with how he played. Maybe it’s time for him to consider a move to Saudi Arabia, Thomas Partey says, as he names the ONE Arsenal player who let the team down — and it’s neither Rice nor Ødegaard.

BREAKING NEWS: Thomas Partey Slams Arsenal Teammate After Disappointing Performance

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has publicly voiced his frustration following the Gunners’ disappointing performance last night, singling out one of his teammates for letting the entire team down.

In a post-match reaction that has since gone viral, Partey made it clear that he was deeply unimpressed with the player’s showing, hinting that it might be time for the underperformer to consider a move away from the Emirates.

“I relied on him yesterday to save me from fans dragging,” Partey admitted. “But he still played rubbish. I’m not really happy about his performance last night, and honestly, I think it’s time for him to learn Saudi.”

Though Partey didn’t mention the player’s name directly, he confirmed that it wasn’t Declan Rice or Martin Ødegaard — two of Arsenal’s most consistent performers this season. This revelation has sent fans into a frenzy, with many speculating on social media about who the mystery player could be.

Supporters flooded X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with guesses, naming a few underwhelming performers from the match, but the majority seem to believe it’s a certain first-team regular whose recent dip in form has frustrated the Arsenal faithful.

Arsenal’s defeat last night was a tough pill to swallow, especially considering the team’s ambitions this season. Mikel Arteta’s men failed to seize a crucial opportunity to stay ahead in the title race, and individual errors combined with lackluster performances from key players ultimately cost them the game.

Partey’s comment has stirred mixed reactions among the fanbase. While some applaud his honesty and leadership, others believe such criticism should be kept within the dressing room. Nonetheless, it highlights the growing tension and pressure at the club as the season reaches its final stretch.

Arsenal now faces the daunting task of regrouping ahead of their next fixture, knowing that every point matters in this highly competitive title chase. Whether the player in question can bounce back from this public callout remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure — all eyes will be on him in the next game.

For now, fans can only speculate about the identity of the player Thomas Partey indirectly called out and hope the team quickly recovers from this setback.
