I know everyone is not a fan of Matteo however I feel he had a rather good season given his age, switch and jump up to a superior league and having to shithouse his way through our terrible defensive performances.
He played to his best but needs nurturing with better players around him. If we dont buy quality in he will develop to many bad habits which will become part of his game.
Emery needs to sort this out but we do have a potential top player here.
Needs to stop fckn falling over all the time though, hopefully can strengthen himself - would be an amazing player if he could battle more a la Vieira !? Need a fckn destroyer in the team - not the way he currently plays like a ballet dancer !!
Really hope this guy gets Claude Maurice over here they worked well together at Lorient and he looks like a future superstar and i think they are good friends.
Really dunno. He’s great all-around. Not someone off the top of my head I could compare him with.
Tbf he keeps surprising me with what he has in his locker. His recent attacking game has been a real eye-opener for me.
I’m not even hating on him, just haven’t seen anything special from him at all. Hopefully some games in his natural role will help open my eyes, I’d love it if you turn out to be right.
Check my posts some months ago. His nonchalant vibes at RB used to piss the hell out of me. Seems to me he found the right balance between calmness and urgency. He was one of our best players in the last 3 EL matches. He kept bothering, even embarrassing LBs at will. And the man is supposed to be a #6/#8.
Good in-depth round-up of Guendouzi’s season below.
I’ve noticed Guendouzi’s propensity to ball watch and his ineffectiveness when running back towards our goal. That’s part of the reason I don’t see him as a fixed #6 even though his passing is slick from that position.
