2025/26 Idrissa Gana Gueye

[Mick OMalley]

When Grealish played the ball
Into him and he put it out for a throw-in. Jack must have thought wtf have I walked into here.

On his day he’s great a breaking play but my god his passing is awful.

Along with his shooting

 

[Esgehtvoran]

Asked to play far beyond his strengths yesterday. Never looked comfortable as a distributor and very much felt as a needs must type of decision.

Love Gana he’s been a great servant. For me, he’s not got the discipline needed to play in a two.

In a two he goes missing way to much, he chases things and then leaves huge spaces and usually the other CM outnumbered, and passed around.

He’s also poor on the ball, meaning we go long too much. I don’t feel comfortable him receiving the ball from the CBs or Pickford. If there’s money available I’d sort the right hand side, then sort a CM replacement.

The only thing he distributes is possession to the opposition. His game is all about tackling, covering ground, and being great off the ball. On it, a massive liability.

He’s just not good enough. I know everyone loves him but he’s not capable of playing in a 2 at this level anymore. He wouldn’t need to win the ball back so much if he didn’t give it away so often.

He was superb against Brighton. That second half, he was everywhere

Had a very unusual mishap in the first half . Stood out because he doesn’t usually do clangers .

Got his brief, keep it simple, turn possession over and find the simple ball to feet, there's always an option, isn't going to lose the ball half as much this season compared to last.

It's much nicer when he's not being asked to be Pirlo like he was under Dyche. He has his role and the other parts of the team should drive us forward.

That'll be Armstrong's gig once he's got the experience under his belt.

I wouldn't just describe him as good, I'd say he's outstanding.

Been one of our best players in the PL era imo.

Not for me but that’s the opinions game everyone’s is different.

 

[NathDogg]

He’s immense, everything, everywhere all at once.

We’re are really gonna miss him for afcon and when he eventually packs in.

Those Gomes and Palhinha numbers are significant to.
