Evann Guessand (on loan at Crystal Palace)

[tomd2103]

Defensively & effort wise, I can't fault him. But going forward he looks a little lost & very apprehensive. I suppose the fact that he's doing the defensive side allows him the time to hopefully develop in the next few months.

It's a big step up from the level he was playing at, if he was the finished article he wouldn't be with us. I'd give him more than a handful of games before writing him off.

Good summation for me.  To be honest, he's offered very little in attack so far and gas given the ball away too many times.  Like you say though, he has contributed in the defensive side and I suppose that is an improvement on some of his predecessors. 

Far from convinced so far, but let's give him time.

He had a good bit of play in the second half where he went on a run and got us up the pitch, laid it off to McGinn. Was really tidy.

He needs a goal now. The longer it goes on the more he's gonna feel it. Just really needs to get off the mark.

[Villafirst]

He's still adapting to the Premier League and Emery's style. One good attribute is his pace which we need. Malen looks really strong and pacy too.

At least through that really strong run, he showed some of the x-factor that had been hard to identify before.

We should see if their set piece coach is available.

That pitch is greener than the icing on your 10th birthday football-themed birthday cake.

It's basically against a non league standard team.

[aj2k77]

Cack player. Runs around a lot but no quality or composure.

[Villan82]

We have such a negative fan base.

So many players get written off. I mean It took Luiz a season and a half pretty much to find his mojo.

[Dave]

Cack player. Runs around a lot but no quality or composure.

Bit of a weird obsession you've picked up here.

[Steve67]

Embarrassing performance tonight.

[caster troy]

With some players that took a while to settle you could see there was something there, but not with Guessand for me. He looks like someone a newly promoted side would take a punt on.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

This guy is dreadful, absolutely fucking dreadful.

[KevinGage]

Looks like it'll probably be one of those seasons.

Win a few, lose a few more.

Not sure how it'll pan out exactly, but to do anything, this guy will need to play less.

Whether that means Watkins and Malen hitting red hot form or a new arrival in Jan offering more than this fella remains to be seen.
