MustyDuncan Ferguson call everton star an ‘absolute failure’ for shocking performance against man utd at home
Everton legend Duncan Ferguson has unleashed fresh criticism on midfielder Idrissa Gueye, calling him an “absolute failure” after another underwhelming performance—this time in the Toffees’ home clash against Manchester United at their new venue, the Hill Dickinson Stadium.The match, marking one of the first high-profile fixtures at Everton’s state-of-the-art dockside home since the 2025 move from Goodison Park, saw the Blues struggle once again against United’s pace and precision.
Gueye, or “Gana” as he’s fondly known, was tasked with shielding the backline and driving the midfield, but his display fell short: misplaced passes, weak challenges, and lapses in positioning repeatedly let United exploit spaces.Ferguson, never one to mince words, pulled no punches in his post-match verdict. “Absolute failure,” he stated bluntly, stressing that a player with Gana’s experience and leadership should have dominated the engine room in such a big game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The former striker highlighted how Gueye’s lack of intensity contributed to Everton’s disjointed play, allowing United to control proceedings and create chances with ease.
The new stadium’s electric atmosphere—boosted by its 52,000+ capacity and waterfront location—raised expectations for a strong response from senior players, but Gana’s showing left many frustrated. Big Dunc’s comments echo his trademark passion for Everton standards, serving as a stark reminder amid ongoing adaptation to the fresh surroundings.Supporters remain split: some point to Gueye’s long service and battles in previous seasons, while others align with Ferguson’s view, urging more accountability from veterans in pivotal matches.
As Everton aim to build momentum in their new chapter at Hill Dickinson Stadium, such candid feedback from an icon like Ferguson could ignite the urgency needed to elevate performances against top rivals.
