Evann Guessand (on loan at Crystal Palace)

[saint13]

I can't believe anyone who ever saw them would say Savo or Angel started off looking like Guessand. Just on touch alone they were leagues above him and that was before they hit any kind of form. There was something to develop in them as there knowledge of the English game grew. Guessand is just fucking crap. Prank level crap.

Spot on.

I still it is very harsh on here and I will remain positive on him , mainly because we have no choice .  We will laugh about this one day

Style of player in the modern game, can you imagine Guessand holding his own against the speed of the game back in the eighties, a goal from anywhere was possible, Tony Morley, for goal of the season.

By the way Tony Hateley passed away at the weekend 72, RIP.

 

Tony Hately died in 2014.  Tony Morley (still with us, thankfully) is 71.

This is what I thought, remember ages ago reading about it then I got this news on line last night, wierd, fake news, didn't know about him myself bit before my time, but dad used to rate him and yes about TM.

Prank level crap made me laugh a lot.

Train him up as a groundsman at Bodymoor Heath or something. He isn’t a top tier footballer.

That through-ball that hit him on the heel sums up where he is at the moment.

[Tuscans]

He would of lost the battle of the towels with the ball boys.

A difficult skill to master, being able to run and be aware that a football may at some point arrive in your vicinity.
On a football pitch of all places.

Such a “Guessand” incident, as though the game were happening to him.

[Ian.]

I feel for him. Not sure what’s happened to the player we scouted and the clips we’ve seen from France to the one who plays for us. I still can’t fault his effort.

Effort, he wanders around looking totally bewildered.
I am not sure you call that effort.
I do feel a little bit sorry for him until I think about how much he is getting paid.

[Steve67]

I agree CL. There are times when he looks like he wants to hide or seems to show a lack of interest. Could be confidence I guess.

[Ian.]

When he plays right midfield he puts a shift in and always has done for us. For an apparent centre forwards, he looks more suited to a right back.

He kept the ball well and moved it around which is what we needed last night, but there was two incidents which was typical Guessand which make you wonder what’s happened to him.

I think you’re mistaking his running style (which reminds me of running while in a nightmare) to lack of effort.

Brilliantly put!

Who knows with Evann, whether he can't be arsed or is just having a nightmare!

[Olneythelonely]

The ball from Onana was really poor. It was behind him. I don’t think he’s very good, but it looks a bit like people are dying to slag him off at times.
