Appearances (All Competitions): 25 (8) Minutes Played (Premier League): 1,973 Assists (All Competitions): 1 Goals (All Competitions): 2 Yellow Cards (Premier League): 3 Red Cards (Premier League): 0 He's started 24 Premier League games this season but, aside from the jammy and comical goal against Southampton or his strike against Hull City the following match, it is difficult to remember Gouffran contributing anything in a positive sense at all. The Frenchman has offered nothing going forward and, on the odd occasion when he has been deployed in central midfield, he hasn't exactly done much to breakup play either. It looks like he will struggle to get a regular first-team place at Newcastle in the future - and rightly so on this season's evidence.
