Guessand starting tonight wasn't a surprise. With Buendia injured and after Sancho flopping the last day, McGinn was always likely to switch over. But after conceding the goal at half time then we don't need a defensive forward. We also needed to get McGinn into the game, swapping over to the right up against Robertson surely would have done that. Emery was too slow there.

Not really seeing what our scouts did. Guessand just doesn't have the technical ability to play for us.

Maybe he’ll come good, but it looks a long way off as he’s been diabolical so far.

I think he looks like a squad player, which probably reflects the fee. But even accounting for that he needs to be better.

Seemed to have a decent chance going through on goal first half. Couldn't see from the away end if it was good defending or another wasted opportunity on his part. He does help Cash a lot though. Hopefully he comes good...

He's Blues. Has no real attributes.

Shouldn't be starting games. Not sure why he still is.

Literally don't understand the hate this guy gets, like at all. He's had better games and worse games but it's incredibly obvious what he's good at, i.e. what Emery hoped Philogene would do - tactically sound and able to turn defensive situations into counters. He didn't do it tonight but he's definitely down he's capable at performing in his role.

I’m with you Monty. He’s sound, maybe not electrifying like a in form Bailey, but we’re far more compact, organised and a better shape with him in front of Cash.

He was not offering Cash much protection last night and his contribution in an attacking sense was woefull, he looked completely out of his depth.

Do we want to be a top 6 team? He isn't a top 6 player, nowhere near. It's not hard to see why we are struggling to score goals or create chances when we have a wide attacker who isn't capable of offering any threat.

You're just making excuses up for him. He's pants, and we've had ours pulled down. There's no masterstroke or tactical genius going on, he's just very very limited and we need an attacking player in an attacking position who can threaten the opposition.

He has his ups and downs but when he’s poor, he really stinks. That said, he contributed well against C115ty. He is always marked by a couple of players and needs time and support to bed in.

He was a 15 minute sub against Man City in a winning position.

And made a solid contribution. I think he’s been largely useless so far, but he clearly is not the finished article in the Premier division. He’s been here a few months.

You're right, he's my son, and this is clouding my judgement. The fact that he stole your wife is, you have to admit, clouding yours too though.
