You mean the game after he had 10 tackles and 3 interceptions against Arsneal at the Emirates?
But fine, let's take that example. He also had 5 interceptions, he had 2 key passes - led the team, touched the ball more times than anyone else on the side, had an 88% pass completion ratio, and we won 3-0. Have you seen Fulham play? They are pretty good in possession - probably better than us, honestly - and only just stink at the back.
Now if you didn't like how we played as a team and I didn't either, how the HECK is that Gana's fault? He's paired with Tom Davies in midfield first of all. Second of all, you switch Gana out with Morgan Schneiderlin and we probably friggin lose because we can't get the ball away from them. You laugh, but against teams that can pass and move, we are CRAP without Gana. So it's not just that I think Gana is good, it's that we STINK without him.
But let's be clear what I'm saying - I would LOVE for us to have someone that maybe isn't quite as good on defense as Gana, but better at driving forward with the ball and supporting the offense. I've been crying for our Doucoure for years. But I don't want him to replace Gana, I want him to complement the current squad, maybe even replace Gomes if we can't sign him.
