    I remember when people were mad at me when I said that they shouldn’t expect too much from Partey due to his age and injury record.

      He’s 30 not 54. Have you not noticed how players are playing much longer than they did 20 years ago thanks to the advancement in sport science? Modric is pushing 38 with Madrid, Fernandinho won his last league at City when he was 35, etc. Also, we all know he’s injury. People were probably mad at the lazy analysis.

        Some players are playing longer, but when a player is suffering recurring injuries at 30 it’s not promising.
