Evann Guessand

[SaddVillan]

Started for Cote d'Ivoire v Burkina Faso.

60 mins gone CIV 2-0 BF

Involved in creating the opener.

So far he's been more of a nuisance than a threat.

The CIV forward line aren't really playing as a unit, not moving around to create space for one another or linking up either.

A common problem with tournament football when the team's spread across multiple leagues, and doesn't get together very often?

[eye digress]

I'd posted elsewhere: selected again for an important fixture, commentators raving about his defensive performance.

But there's still something missing.

He burst through at one point, chopped back onto his left to take the defender out the game, then… instead of blattering it, sort of lost interest when in front of the keeper. Defender got back, took the ball back off him.

Been subbed off now.

Saw that too.
Confidence/killer instinct missing

It's because he's shite.

Even the goal he scored for us in the Europa - was like he tried his best not to get on the end of it!

Are you ok?

Fine, yourself?

Ivory Coast were knocked out so Guessand will be back for next weekends squad.

Bit of an epic game.

CI’s second was an almighty goalmouth scramble that Evann, in true Guessand fashion, watched develop around him, as though he was in his armchair.

Still, he did score during the tournament and impressed sufficiently so that he got increasing game time.
