Gana is boss at breaking up play when the opposition have the ball, tracking players etc, we needs someone next to him to do the creative stuff.

Agree but his terrible, terrible ball distribution really let's him down imo
His shooting is dire as well to be honest, that's why it always baffled me when Koeman played Gana and Schneiderlin together, and he asked Gana to be the one out of the two of them to push further forward.

Thankfully he didn't get a yellow card tonight, if he had he would have been banned for the Chelsea game.
He'll be an important player for us against Chelsea, when we likely won't see much of the ball.

Plays better when he is the only defensive midfielder..

He likes having Rooney closer to him. If we're expected to bring it forward he tends to look a bit lost with Schneiderlin next to him.

Back to his old self. Nipping around all over the place.

So bad on the ball. Luckily for him, Schneiderlin was worse because at least Gueye didn't spend the entire 1sf half hiding next to Williams and blatantly not wanting the ball with his "No, you have it" footballing philosophy.
As positive as the last few weeks have been, I'm baffled that we have reverted to a pairing that has seldom worked well together in the last 12 months and was instrumental in the downfall of Koeman. The game changed significantly when Davies came on, and it wasn't just a coincidence.
But back to Gueye... I see people talking about him on Twitter like hes Alan Ball or something. It genuinely baffles me. I thought 1st half tonight he looked like a competition winner, and to be honest, Ive never really got what all of the fuss about, especially the way he is lauded while Mccarthy is criticised for playing essentially the same role.
He tries hard and runs a lot. That should be the bare minimum you expect from a defensive midfielder.
At least with Rooney next to him, he doesn't try and do too much because he can just give it and stay where he is. The less he has to dribble or pass the better for everyone.

He looks like he's been asked to do a job slightly in front of snides . I dont think think that suits him. Great at breaking up play but his passing is poor. Needs a player like Davies in front of him(unfortunately his performances has dropped) but better tonight
Won the ball back 10 times and made more passes than anyone else, according to the BBC

He was our best player tonight. Anyone talking nonsense about this lad today should give their heads a wobble. Sake.
Plays miles better in a 4-1-4-1 when we bin off Schneiderlin.
