Poor bloke surrounded every time he gets the ball. Not sure what people expect of him just yet.

Indeed, but when he wasn't he'd just run into the nearest defender and lose it.

The contrast with the lad that replaced him couldn't have been more stark.

I think the problem is that him and the players around him aren't quite on the same wavelength yet. Last night he clearly wanted the ball in behind to run onto and the one time he got a really good pass to set him away it led to Sancho hitting the post.

Most of the time he was getting the ball into feet to either play a pass back or turn and run and he struggled with the latter a little because he wanted more time than he was getting. The premier league is, by a fair distance, the strongest league in the world and one thing defenders have to learn to survive is to not let attackers get turned without a challenge. This means forwards and wingers coming in then have to learn how to ride that early challenge. He's big enough and strong enough to get there, he just needs to work on it. A run of games will help him so I hope he gets given that chance before we dump him as not good enough.

Aside from that I thought Henry played excellently and was their best player by a long way, which made it tougher for Guessand to get into the game as well, and with them playing a back 5 there was less space to begin with.

Early days. Seems to have the physical presence for the league as he is bogged down in a scrap most of the time. Got free in the second half when we should have scored, poked Cash through only for the bugger the check back.

He needs time, he'll get it from me.

I don’t think it’s his fault. Our players rarely find themselves in any space. At times he was tripled up on and I still couldn’t see another player in space.

Sancho has the technical ability to get out of those tight spots quickly.

And from what I recall, created less than Guessand.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. If we keep losing the ball like Guessand did it's impossible to get any kind of forward momentum. He didn't exactly lay that one on for Sancho either. Kind of bunged it behind Malen, one of their defenders didn't clear it properly and Sancho ran onto it.
