Koeman on Gueye: "He's a different midfield player than the players that we have. Most of them a little bit the same qualities."
I think what he meant to say was "they're [Poor language removed]"
Apart from the pen he was very good. Liked his tenacity and his passing was mostly good and mostly forward. Looks like we have a little terrier on our hands.
Or none of them are willing to get stuck in.

Its funny how people see the game differently. I thought he was our best player yesterday and I thought Barkley was good too. Someone I went with thought Barkley was garbage. I've seen people on here with polar opposite opinions on Stones from yesterday too.
Bottom line, what do I know.

Usually a good idea to trust my opinion on players
This is true. Its peoples perception of players that give the different opinions. Barkley for example for me was good as was Gueye. Barkley has the toughest task to please fans because he has set the bar very high because we know what he is capable of and some expect that every game. So if he doesn't beat 5 players and lash it into the top corner then his performance is not good. Gueye started badly with the pen give away but grew into the game and showed tenacity and some good passing. Now its the very low percentage of wayward passes that some people will judge him by. Football is a blame game now and every goal conceded we will look for a culprit. Every goal we score we will gush about (unless blatant error) and not look at the reason the opposition conceded.
Very much a game of opinions and always up for debate with some being harsh some being over complimentary.

Sticking my neck out here, but I can see this being touted as one of the signings of the season.
Before anyone calls up the men in white coats, hear me out!
Firstly, his fee. £7.6m when you have bang average players going for £20m+ already puts him in a good position relatively speaking.
Secondly, he is a stats man's dream. Anyone has an issue with him being touted? Throw the "most interceptions" line at them.
Thirdly, the press love a narrative. Steve Walsh, Leicester transfer guru, does it again and uncovers the new Kante. The headlines write themselves.
Finally, he is actually a decent player! Affects and influences the game when is on the pitch and very rarely goes missing due to his work rate.
Not saying I think he should be the signing of the season, but I can see him being talked about for it because of the reasons listed above.

I think it's quite clear, the card is marked for all last season centre midfielders.
