I kind of agree with the gist of what you’re saying w.r.t. Partey/Rice, but if we’re mostly facing low blocks, and Partey is merely better than Rice on the transitions, then our problems can’t come down to the midfield. I think it has to do with Odegaard and Jesus’ absence and wrote about it after rewatching our match against Nottingham.
Yeah I should have been more precise. It’s not just transitions, it’s also passes between the line, basically unpicking the press and the defensive lines with passes. Partey can be useful even against low blocks or dense midifields.
