Jamie Carragher has criticised Thomas Partey’s performance in Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday, accusing the midfielder of being complacent. Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said: ‘Thomas Partey was really poor, I must say that. You don’t try a trick like this, you shouldn’t even do it in training, trying to flick it past someone on the edge of your own box, again, it’s complacency.’ He added: ‘Thomas Partey’s been fantastic this season for Arsenal, but this is the worst I’ve seen him play. He’s just not at the races at all.’
Carragher also accused Arsenal of being ‘cocky’ and ‘complacent’ after failing to hold on to winning positions against Liverpool and West Ham. He said: ‘The problem Arsenal have had in the last two weeks is they’ve got complacent, they’ve got cocky. That game [against West Ham] was so easy. I couldn’t believe there was a way West Ham could ever get back in the game. The only way they could get back in the game was by Arsenal doing something stupid.’
