Some Arsenal fans have slammed Thomas Partey following his poor showing the Gunners' possible title costing two-all draw against West Ham United on Sunday, April 16, 2023.
Partey, who lost possession eight times in the game, made an error that resulted in a goal that gave lackluster West Ham a lifeline to eventually salvage a point.
Some Gunners took to social media to vent their disappointment in the Ghanaian's performance, assuming that Partey's performance cost them the league title.
Arsenal, for the second time in a row, threw away a two-goal within a week. Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard gave the league leaders a comfortable lead inside 10 minutes but Said Benrahma's penalty after a poor play by Partey got the home side back in the game on the stroke of halftime.
Jarrod Bowen drew the struggling side level a few minutes after Bukayo Saka's penalty miss in the second half.
Arsenal are presently treading water in the title race, leading reigning champions and second-place Manchester City, who have a game in hand, by five points.
Here are some reactions to Partey's performance

Thomas Partey had Martinelli wide open in front of him but decided to fail at embarrassing his future replacement instead????????. Absolutely unnecessary. Arteta must not condone this shit anymore! Xhaka last week, Partey this week. FOCUS! pic.twitter.com/PNOiNwS6Uj

Thomás partey wanted to outclass Rice today, he didn’t need to actually because he’s better but he caused the first goal and then he was subbed off .

Declan had a better game than him.
