He's just not the right fit and it's difficult pairing him with anyone in midfield because of his limitations.
Difficult pairing him with a deep laying playmaker because we're left a little light on defence. Plus he's not the best supporting player. The playmaker often still has a lot of heavy lifting to do when it comes to recycling the ball and progression.
Paired with a DM we lose a lot on our attack and ball progression.
Box to box type/ midfield shadow striker....same problems as above.
Without him in the squad, I'd be more open to seeing different combination of players. Heck, Torriera and Guendouzi are two I wouldn't mind seeing next to Partey.
