Thomas Partey featured in Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to Everton on Monday in the English Premier League.
The Ghanaian (6.5) was among the lowly rated Arsenal players by Sofascore.com after failing to dominate the midfield at Goodison Park.
He committed more fouls (3) and lost more duels (9) than any other Arsenal player on the night. Meanwhile, he managed to achieve 86% accurate passes with 94 touches as he lasted the full duration of the game.
Demarai Gray’s sumptuous injury-time strike gave Everton a first win in nine games. Richarlison had equalised for Everton in the 80th minute after his first two goals were all ruled offside after VAR checks.
Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard scored the game’s opener in the first half for Arsenal.
Partey, a former Atletico Madrid star midfielder in a recent interview admitted his Arsenal performances to date are only worthy of a four out of 10 rating.
He has made more than 40 appearances for the Gunners since signing from Atletico Madrid 14 months ago but has struggled to become a midfield “boss” in a side that has matched him for inconsistency.
“Personally, I would say five or six [out of 10] but with the marks of the people outside, I’d give myself a four, because there are moments in the game where I can be really hurting the other team but there are also moments, because I’m not yet adapted to the Premier League, where maybe I allow myself to lose focus and that’s when everything goes down,” Partey said on Sky Sports.

He added: “From the start [of the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United on Thursday] I had a couple of moments where I gave two balls away and someone watching on TV from home or in the stadium, it is normal that they see this.
“At the end, I have to be happy with some moments, I have to learn from the bad parts and try to do better. I think they demanded more and personally I know I can give more. I have to keep working and at the end, I will get the results.”
