Some places have Guessand down as an assist for us as well but it's the one agianst Brighton where him and Ollie both went for the cross and it might have got a tiny touch from Guessand before Ollie put it in.

THat said I think Guessand was the best of the 3 over the season, that's not a high bar but given he's also the youngest if we had to keep one he'd be my choice because I think he could become a useful player in the premier league.
Without checking, I am assuming that our points per game with Guessand in the squad looks extremely healthy versus the same without.

That obviously reflects the midfield injuries rather than Guessand's absence.

But still, I bet the difference is eye catching!

Be interesting to see the combined contribution of Sancho, Guessand and Bailey.

G/A:

Sancho 4
Bailey 4 (inc. 1 for Roma)
Guessand 5 (inc. 3 for Palace)
Cheers. I can overlook the shirked tackles, but that is a very low contribution from Sancho given the minutes he's had.

I'm bored enough to do it...

13 games 23 points 1.77ppg (this is purely games he played in, not ones where he stayed on the bench)
vs
23 games 36 point 1.56ppg

so statistically significant but not as big a difference and I guess you were expecting, about 7-8 points over a full season though. The Kamara version is better.

Oh go on then...

Yeah thought it might be bigger. But still a pretty mysteriously chunky gap.

Two no.10's at the end of last season at Leverkusen, one goes for £100m + and the other couldn't be given away.

Funny watching Emi strutting around while Wirtz had all the impact of an empty crisp packet.

That’s a great comparison of alternative career trajectories, that no one in the entire football world would have predicted.

Hitting the post and the bar with the same shot has to be worth more than a goal, c'mon!

Brilliant second half yesterday. Nearly another memorable goal from distance. We crucified them down the left in the second half with Digne/Buendia in top form.
