It’s been a strong season for Everton in the Premier League and the Toffees fans lining the bar are still dreaming of securing European football come the end of the season!
Ronald Koeman has transformed his team into a compact, hard-to-beat unit and there’s plenty of supporters lining the bar here in the Tavern that are predicting good things from the Toffees again next season.
They’ve got some cracking young players in their midsts and combined with the experience and quality they’ve already got in the side, we could be looking at a very strong Everton team indeed.
And one man that is regularly overlooked when it comes to praise at Goodison Park is combative midfielder Idrissa Gueye, who has been in absolutely superb form for his side this season.
Some Toffees fans might be surprised to see the impact he’s had in the team this season and courtesy of WhoScored, we can now reveal that the former Villa man even trumps N’Golo Kante in the tackling department which is a real surprise indeed.

Gueye makes an average of 4.4 tackles per game, which is exactly one more than N’Golo Kante does each match. Despite the Frenchman covering more ground, it’s a surprise to find out someone has actually beaten Kante when it comes to getting around the pitch!
Everton fans- just how good is Idrissa Gueye? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
