Lads if you’re claiming Baningime is better than Gueye after just one and a half games them your flippant kneejerk geordieism is part of the problem.

maybe, but it surely would make any sensible decision makers have second thoughts about offering gueye nearly 100k for the next 5 years.
 
I hate the fact that a lot of our best opportunities always seem to fall to him.

I like the guy, but christ he can barely hit a barn door..
 
I find the pair of them the biggest culprits of not showing for the ball time after time tbh

These players EVERY game giving 5/10 performances

I think the whole team is like that really. The only players in our squad who seem to want to take any responsibility are Rooney, Davies and maybe Mirallas at times and even then Rooney takes it too far, Davies is only a kid and Mirallas is as erratic as ever.

Beni has looked good mainly due to the fact that he is comfortable on the ball. Its not like he has been massively brilliant or anything, just doing the basics right and it makes him stand out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of them.
 
Some utter guff being spouted here. He's probably our best player. Like everyone else in the team, he's playing absolutely rubbish at the moment, although not as rubbish as some (i.e. Schneiderlin).


He's not though is he.

Interpretations of his individual performances aside, Ie, how much he runs, has he actually improved us in any way? Does he make us hard to beat? Do we miss him when he doesn't play to such a degree that we cannot function without him?

No, no and no.

He is bang average. He is the player we all thought we where signing before it became cool to like him and tell the world on twitter how we got the bargain of the summer, the "Best midfielder in the prem".

LOL

He is a stats driven hipster favourite, who adds nothing and let's teams attack us directly down the middle, offering our already weakened defence no protection whatsoever. And because of his reputation, his performances and mistakes are dismissed because we are "Lucky to have him". Same with Pickford. Absolutely bullet proof. While other players get bombed out for the slightest error.

I think your spot pn regaridng who looks for the ball ( hence why I don't get on Rooneys back when he is picked because at least he wants it even though he does my head in constantly dropping deep ).

I think it's a sad state of affairs when a kid has come in like Beni and in the small amount if time he's been on has looked head and shoulders above Morgan and Gueye by doing the basics as you mention. And that's the problem, these players aren't doing the basics right. Take the ball, look up, pass and move into space, marking men, preventing certain passages of play unfold etc etc all basic stuff that all the training in the world won't help when the players cross the white line.

None of them taking responsibility, in fact they are visibly shirking it

The backroom staff need to up their game as well. I often wonder what they actually do.
