Martin’s stats are worse without Partey as the 6 because he has the drop deeper to receive the ball. Partey is the only one that has the swag to shake off a press and progress it up to Martin and Saka under pressure.
Raya alleviates that a bit by passing over the press. I mean Rambo can as well but Raya is just better.
Partey and Raya on the pitch should give us total freedom for progression and be “unpredictable”.

I wonder if Rice will ever add it to his game. He seems a bit more cumbersome on the ball vs the likes of Partey or Rodri.
Bruh what Rice are you watching.
