Arsenal fans on social media are having a good laugh over Thomas Partey’s meal preference ahead of matches.
Ahead of their game against Liverpool, Arsenal’s social media team quizzed some of their players on their favourite pre-match meals.
When asked, Thomas Partey said, “Coconut milk and porridge.”
The response by the 30-year-old has triggered funny reactions from Arsenal fans who shudder to understand why their highly influential midfielder would have such a meal before matches.
The “coconut milk and porridge” dish appeared to have done the magic as Thomas Partey excelled greatly for Arsenal in their game against Liverpool.
His performance caught the eye of former Tottenham striker and lifelong Arsenal fan, Darren Bent, who hailed the Ghanaian for being outstanding in the game.
Bent stated that the Black Stars midfielder prevented Liverpool winger Luis Diaz from excelling in the game due to his good tackles, which forced coach Arne Slot to substitute him.
Speaking on talkSPORT, the former Aston Villa striker noted that Partey’s exceptional performance helped Arsenal secure a draw against Liverpool.
“Thomas Partey played like old-fashioned fullbacks where the first challenge, they go on the wide, he did that on Luis Diaz and it’s almost like he went down. Then they started putting the ball over the top because Partey is not the quickest.
“But I think it worked and that’s why they took him [Luis Diaz] off because after a while he just couldn’t get the better of Partey and that was one area I thought he was outstanding and exceptional,” he said.
Yes coconut milk and porridge is the ideal game changer meal 🤩 https://t.co/9fMqye3oJ6
