Idrissa Gueye

[MikeH72]

Got to be starting Gueye ahead of Barry on Saturday.

Barry should be used sparingly now. Great player, but sadly looks to be coming towards the end.

I'm fairly certain this will happen.

I'd go with a midfield 3 of Gana, Davies and Schneiderlin, with Barkley playing behind Lukaku

I'd bring Barry on for one of them on the 60 minute mark as the opposition starts to tire

*Shrugs and goes and orders Football Manager off Steam

Yep, is originally said I'd like to see a midfield 5 of Gana, Schneiderlin, Davies, Barkley and Mirallas. But that would mean Mori as one of two and I don't trust him so, put Holgate in a 3 and leave Mirallas out again. Or maybe go with two at the back and drop Mori.

Thought he was uncharacteristically poor today

 

[streeky]

If he had taken his ice skates off he would have done ok

 

[banno]

Still covered quite well but he was a bit ponderous. Think he wasn't up to the speed of the game upon his return from Africa.

 

[suey_11]

Must have been a real contrast in climates playing in relative heat of Africa then to a real dour dismal day in the North East.
Will be nice to see him and Schniderlin get up to speed in the next few games.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Awful today, forgot how little time you get on the ball in the PL.

 

[Klinker]

One of the poorer players today. Too many times were their players just running right past him. Also sloppy on the ball.

 

[ianefc]

I'll be the odd one out, but I thought the only thing he was guilty of was not releasing the ball quick enough today.

Still broke up play, still covered ground, still love him.

 

[streeky]

Still had his african hard ground boots today, how many times was he on his backside today.

 

[sladen90]

Played 2 brilliant balls in the first half. One in particular that almost put Davies in.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Thought he was uncharacteristically poor today

He was in the first half but improved in the second unlike schneiderlin who i thought was poor throughout

 

[Jags..class]

Garbage
Aston villa performance

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I didn't like the setup. Davies was to far forward. Gueye had a hangover from African Nations.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Get shut.
