... as a parent, you want your kids to fight for each other, show they care about their teammates & all that 
. It's like in rugby or hockey, it's okay for players to rough up each other on the pitch 'cause it shows they're committed to winning 
. But at the same time, I think Gueye might've gone a bit too far 
... still, you gotta respect Moyes' stance as a manager & know how to handle situations like this 
. Guess it just goes to show that football's all about passion & intensity 
!
his actions were not just about protecting teammates but also showed some serious frustration that's not good for the team's morale at all... still i get what moyes is saying about players wanting to brawl with each other it shows they care, but guye took it too far... needs to work on controlling himself during high pressure matches
also, Moyes says gueye likes to "brawl" with teammates - is that really a thing? seems like it's more of an issue if they're actually fighting, rather than just having a heated exchange. anyway, Moyes seems like a smart guy, so maybe he knows what he's talking about 
. gueye's passion is what drives him to perform at his best, and if moyes thinks it's positive, then i think it's worth embracing 
he's already having a tough time with injuries & fitness issues on top of being sent off... Moyes is prob trying 2 protect him from more criticism lol but at the same time u can understand why some ppl would think his behavior was agressive 
. Moyes is just trying 2 be supportive, i guess that's what matters most in situations like this 
... david moyes got his back tho 
, and dat's what matterz most... we need more ppl in football leadership who care about player welfare & team bonding 2 
... this match was intense, but let's not forget it's just a game 
... idrissa guye is more than jus a player, he's a leader on & off the pitch 
. But hey, who needs sportsmanship when you can have the whole team throwing punches at each other like a bunch of WWE superstars? 
I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that Gueye's temper is about as hot as his name
