Arsenal fans have a lot to say about Thomas Partey after nightmare Champions League moment vs PSV

Arsenal fans were left furious with Thomas Partey after his display in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven.

The Gunners travelled to the Phillips Stadion in search of a positive result that could put them one step closer to the quarter-final of the competition.

Despite failing to score in consecutive matches, Arsenal turned up the attacking intensity in the Champions League as Jurrien Timber opened the scoring with a header.

Ethan Nwaneri doubled the lead shortly after, with Mikel Merino adding a third to put the Gunners into a commanding lead.

A chaotic first half wasn’t finished there though, as Noa Lang scored from the penalty spot to bring the home side back into it.

That chance at a comeback stemmed from a challenge made by Thomas Partey, who came in for some criticism for his display.

Arsenal fans fume at Thomas Partey after penalty call vs PSV Eindhoven

As Arsenal put themselves into a commanding position at PSV with three goals before half-time, the only way it would go against them would come from their own mistakes.

A chance possibly opened up for the home side when Thomas Partey fouled Luuk de Jong with a poor challenge on the striker from a corner.

It wasn’t a necessary foul to make, with fans taking to social media to fume over the midfielder’s display.

“How many MORE CL pens will Partey concede,” one fan said, before another added: “That was just dumb from Partey. We the only club who will be cruising and then do something daft and stupid.”

Others were a bit more defensive of the midfielder, stating: “A PSV player pushed Partey into another PSV player and they’ve given a penalty.”

“Van Dijk does what Partey did there 10x a game and gets praise for it,” another fan said.

Overall though, there was mainly frustration. “It’s always Partey man like what percentage of goals have we conceded because of him this season? Bin him ASAP, Zubimendi needed.”

“Ok so worse has happened against us in the box and it’s not been given but it’s a stonewall penalty for me. What is Partey doing grabbing the fella by the neck!? He’s been a massive liability in the backline this season.”

Overall, it has left supporters frustrated that Partey could make a mistake like that when the game is in control.

Thomas Partey mistakes are a concern for Arsenal

When Arsenal are as goal-shy as they have been in recent weeks, the last thing they need is defensive errors to go against them.

For Partey to make an error at a key moment like that highlights a real concern the side may have going forward.

The Ghanaian international only has a few months remaining on his contract at the Emirates Stadium, with an exit looking likely.

It’s unclear if a new deal will be signed by Partey in the weeks ahead, but the performances in the weeks ahead could have a huge impact on that.

Many more key errors could swing things towards an exit.
