Arsenal fans underwhelmed by ‘awful’ Thomas Partey as Ghana slump to 3-0 loss against Mali
A FEW Arsenal fans online have slated Thomas Partey's performance for Ghana against Mali.
The 27-year-old joined the Gunners on Deadline Day for £45million from Atletico Madrid.
He couldn't stick around at London Colney, however, as he had to report for international duty with the Black Stars in Turkey.
Partey is likely to be riding a high from his big-money move to North London.
But Ghana's 3-0 defeat to Mali at Emirhan Sport Center may have sent him crashing back to Earth.

One fan tweeted: "Arsenal's partey played today in match btwn Ghana v Mali and TBH he was awful. Don't argue with me, I watched the whole match."
Another wrote: "Thomas Partey had the second highest rating – 3/10."
A third added: "Partey is average whenever he plays for Ghana btw."
Some defended him, however, instead criticising his coach and team-mates.

One tweeted: "Ghana ain’t nowhere near on the levels like 2010 WC, I think Partey should retire from them and be solely committed to the Arsenal."
While a second huffed: "Ghana coach is poor, tactically anyway you don’t play Partey as a 10 he’s a 6".
The midfielder will be given a tricky introduction to life in the Premier League, as Mikel Arteta's side travel to Manchester City next weekend.
