Gueye Gana be great

[Alanvideo]

How and why?

Please explain. Cos he is small and non-white. nothing about him was at all like Pienaar.

............why bring race into it ?
were you at the game ?
I din't say he plays the Pienaar role.
He reminds me of Pienaar because he doesn't shirk a tackle ,he has a little nasty streak ,he can pick a pass and link up play ,he is competitive.  Is that enough ?

He used his body well.

Just seen his MotM interview on the OS. Buzzing for the little fella. Could end up being a bit of a cult hero for us.

Well I got an away shirt with his name and number on it. Love him already

[charlatan]

Reminded me of Olivier Dacourt in his size and his tenacity. Had a real go at everyone. He's going to be a crowd favourite if he carries on like that

What a player he was.  Was gutted when he left the next summer

[Brownie20]

Me too. And then he ended up at Leeds

[Ross]

He's going to be better than Besic at this rate.

[Bob Sacamano]

Reminds me of Shane Duffy

You racist piece of garbage.

Koeman's comments interesting :

"He's there to tackle, win balls and be energetic in the midfield [sic] maybe the cleverness on the ball - that's for Barry."

So basically, the role we should expect from Gueye is pure sweeper, disrupt the opposition play and give the ball to Gareth Barry as soon as possible.

Sounds be like he agrees with your assessment @Bluedylan - Gueye will always be partnered with a baller.

I thought he was excellent,  will only get better.

Reminds me of wee Jimmy Krankie.

He was good yesterday but nothing more, and will have to improve if he's going to be what we need going forward.(for the future)

The response to his performance on here says a lot about how desperate Martinez left us.

Putting your foot in and being competitive should be a given.

It's not just that.

Being in the right place to make tackles / interceptions isn't just a case of wanting to stick your foot in.

He's clearly been bought as someone to do that and to then give it to the better technical players.

There have been lots of successful sides over the years who have done this.

[Redartin]

Reminds me of wee guy who played for Villa last season.
He stood out cause he was the only one who played for Villa last season.
