Gueye is good, but does he have the size of a Schneiderlin or Nzonzi (both over 6 foot) that many teams want in their midfield? That physical stature and strength does help at set-pieces (whether attacking or defending) and when retaining or regaining possession of the ball around the pitch. I'm not advocating getting rid of Gueye - far from it - but I'm just seeking the views of other Evertonians.

Would love to see Gueye along side Nzonzi in the middle with Sig in front of them behind Tosun maybe Bolasie and lookman on the wings, think Gueye and Nzonzi would be an amazing partnership Schneiderlin offers nothing.

Haven't noticed height helping Schneiderlin doing anything apart from passing sideways or backwards.

Like saying the same question of Kante, think it’s silly myself, he’s a quality player, what he lacks in size he makes up for with his pace and ability to turn quickly, much better than Schneiderlin.

Gueye is far better than him and more valuable. More committed when he plays at getting the ball back and puts more effort in. he's a different player in that he covers ground and gets higher up the pitch than Schneiderlin. Nzonzi can take over from Morgan.

That stuff that came about him and Mirallas and the fact his performances have been nowhere last season means his place is the one to go. But i would sell him, he's a bad apple. Bring Nzonzi in and then Benni is another year older, but another year as cup and back up with Davies for injuries.

I personally hope Mac stays fit as i think he offers us some old school aggression and no one can fault his running and effort.

Look at Paul scholars, small man but what a player, look at the Barcelona team, size didn't matter to them when they were at there best, if your good enough size doesn't matter, I've always lived by that just ask my missiles 🤣🤣, but obviously it depends as well on the style of football you play.

The difference is that when Kante wins the ball 9 times out of ten he has an option usually ahead of him to move it onto.

Agree with the height issue but think it applies more at Centre half and for whoever plays alongside Gana. Game these days is more physical so you need someone with the size (and the will to use it) . We looked suseptible every time the RS had a free kick / corner because we couldn't match up to VVD / Gomez / Matip.
