2022/23 Idrissa Gana Gueye

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Had a poor game on the ball last night, thought he won ball back well on occasion and intercepted well but overall not his best.

Thought for the first goal he obviously has a poor touch and gets robbed for them to break away but Iwobi should never have given him the ball back and don’t think he was expecting it, was so unnecessary.

Couldn't make up my mind who was worse, him or Onana. For both to be awful killed us.

I can only imagine the abuse Tom Davies would get if he played as badly as Gana did last night.

But, players have bad days , it happens to them all, the trick is to recover and move on.

True, but he is constantly crap whereas Gueye has already looked top quality since he joined again. Bad day at the office, let's go again at the weekend. If he carries on playing poorly then we have Garner ready and waiting to start.

Two games in a row he has lost the ball that directly led to two goals.

He lost the ball against West Ham as well which almost led to a goal.

Never understood the high esteem many have of him a midfield player needs more than the occasional ability of nicking the ball. He often looked stranded by his poor control and the ensuing charge by the oppo in his first stint no surprise to me he's at it again.

…occasional ability of nicking the ball.

Did you see the midfield we had last season? Gana is a massive step up, last night was just a poor performance and he wasn’t the only one.

You might be right but how high was that bar?

I've never got it but recognise some see it different. Others also point out it isn't the first time he's dropped the ball and a goal has resulted since his return. Look, everyone hopes it works out but personally I have real doubts.

It’s all about progression and we are a lot further forward than what we were last season, that’s probably indicated by the reaction at losing 2-1 to Utd.

Gana isn’t a main issue for us.

In retrospect we have to wonder if Gueye has been poor in the last couple of games because more is being asked of him.

Just tell Gueye to screen the back four. That's his job. He's not Pirlo. Dont ask him to distribute like him.

Takes time for a partnership with Onana to gel too

Yes. There's that. Onona looks a law unto himself at times too.

Kid looks raw. Reminds me of when Fellaini turned up. Just went steaming into everything lol

He's having an impact, but it's like he thinks he has a free role.

He was only ever an alright player, despite what's written on here.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He had a poor game. We need him to bounce back quickly.
