Gueye Gana be great

[Silas]

No you fuck off!

The lad's got something about him, gritty little mad fucker I think he's going to be a proper bargain.

[blargins]

From the little I saw of the game, I agree, he's going to be a nasty little fucker. Can't believe how small he is. A real terrier. How McCarthy should be.

Amazing today, one of the best Debuts I can remember.

Just a really calm customer, always in the way of things, reckon he will be great for us.

Get someone like Carvalho next to him and we our laughing.

He has the potential to be our player of the season.

[Duncs_a_legend]

Good performance today, did give the ball away a few times though.
A definite improvement to our midfield.

[Bluedylan]

I wouldn't pair him up with Carvalho. Carvalho's not mobile enough and not good enough on the ball. Gana can be the more defensive DM, and pair him with a playmaker type.

But yeah, made up with what I saw of the lad.

[Shogun]

It was a great performance but you can see he's not natural on the ball. A few poor touches touches and under hit passes.

You mean a Witzel?

[Lxxx]

A proper pest.

Again conclusions should be tentative as three years ago we were all pulling ourselves to ecstasy over James McCarthy.

He looks like a player who will help the balance of the team and also will help us in our plan(s) to stop the opposition from playing. Insofar as we haven't had a plan like this for two years I reckon he'll be a player the fans will take to and he should stay in the team for now for that reason.

At the very worst he will put some pressure on McCarthy to up his contribution.

[Ell Capitan]

Yeah. At 26 you wonder how much better he can get with that.

Today it didn't cause us any issues at all but in future his giving the ball away easy could cost us.

[Escla]

Good performance today, did give the ball away a few times though.
A definite improvement to our midfield.

MOTM for me, tell me a player who doesn't give the ball away a few times during 90 minutes.

McCarthy

[TheTone]

don't think there was a better midfield performance right across the premiership today

[Duncs_a_legend]

MOTM for me, tell me a player who doesn't give the ball away a few times during 90 minutes.

Hardly any, which is why I didn't slate him for it. I put him as my MOTM in the ratings thread.
