Finding goalkeepers and centre halves with back passes certainly isn't that tricky.
He tried one tricky diagonal on Saturday. Actually it was pretty straightforward to Digne. 15 yards of margin. But it sailed out for a goal kick.
Stats are good. But eyes will always beat stats. The only stats worth mentioning are those that effect the outcome of matches.

Now you are making a different argument. I've got eyes, too, and the stats magically agree with me. He is not an expansive passer, but he does keep the ball fairly well. He doesn't give it away - that's pure myth. And he's amazing at winning it back.
He's a very good defensive mid playing in a team that can't keep the ball. Not impossible to replace, but we don't have anyone in house, that's for certain, and in this team, he's critical.
Funny, but didn't someone with an opta license indicate he had a lot of forward passes?
Guess it depends on how good your eyes are.

You have to put yourselves in the lads shoes.
If I was Gueye and I was being offered a mind bogglingly attractive way out of this s&^% show and we blocked it for the sake of securing mid table mediocrity, I would be utterly furious. And for that reason, keeping him would be counter-productive. Can we give Baningime a run?

It's not a myth. He gives it away or plays negative nothing passes which put others under pressure. He doesn't pass the ball positively. Because he can't.
You can keep saying it's a myth all you like but it changes nothing. We won't play decent football until we overhaul our entire midfield, and that includes Gueye.
Also, my eyes are fine. They also allow me to recognise half arsed performances like over the last month. And instances where he was 10 yards away from the danger when he should be defending a last minute free kick like his life depends on it.
I like the fella, but passing deffo isn`t his strong point.
If he played in a decent team of ball players and all he had to to was break up play and put the opposition midfield under pressure, he`d be a great addition to that team.
" Kante light ".
Maybe he`ll thrive at PSG, as he won`t be required to do anything other than break up play ?
The midfield needs ripping up.
Don't think him, Gomes or Gylfi will be starting the first game of next season imo.

Nah he is right, it is absolutely a myth.
Well unlike some of us you won't be arsed if he goes then.
No I won't. I would have been hoping we replaced all our midfielders in the summer anyway because they don't create or compete. It's been a major problem area since Fellaini left. Arguably Arteta.
Probably feeling guilty. I notice he started his opening sentence with 'made up with the win'. Clearly a piss take.
