2018/19 Andre Gomes

[pedro1976]

Tired and a lack of form. But we can't rotate him because we have nobody else. You can't play the same players every week you need options.

So he was tired and the Southampton players were fresh? He's had a week between games... Southampton had 2 nights sleep after doing 120 minutes.

I was all up for signing him for £50m when he burst onto the scene with us... what we are seeing is a player who's head is getting in the way of his performances. Nothing to do with tiredness. His decisions are all over the shop... he's like a Portuguese Ross Barkley.

He’s lost his ability and he looks waaaay less handsome than he used to.
In short: he’s been Evertonised

Confidence mate. Good player he will return.

we have sucked all the flare and spirit out of him,

well at least half our fan base have dreamt about doing exactly that!

 

[BlueToff]

The only place siggy should be next week and the foreseeable future is on the bench, and bring him on late in the game because you normal only notice him for 10/15 mins anyway.

He's our joint highest scorer and one of our only goal threats.

That's why he'd get the nod for me over Gomes at the moment.

He is a hinderence in the side and needs replacing.

Okay.

At the moment he isn't playing well.

But who, and how, would you replace him.

I think a change of system is fine, but then you still need Gylfi's quality in there to help us create chances. We don't play through him nearly enough, it's all wide and aimless. And recently, no, he hasn't been playing well enough.

He's got ten goals!

I wouldn't replace the position he plays because it designed for him and he is not good enough to build the side around, he needs taking out of the side.

Erm, okay.

So who would you play there? Bernard - he's looked pretty crap when played as a 10. Lookman? Richarlison, maybe?

We can't play 4-4-2 because we just have a 30 yard gap between attack and midfield.

All of our play goes wide so Gylfi's impact is limited, especially when Gomes is in equally as poor form.

I'd suggest a change in system and if Gylfi doesn't fit, so be it, but we saw v Brighton that a Gomes-Gana midfield doesn't offer enough cutting edge either.

We have gaps all over the park playing the system we have been playing a piss poor Southampton team has just taken us apart it could have been worse we were lucky the week before and so on,the system needs changing without siggy in it.

The system needs changing.

But that doesn't mean Gylfi can't be in it.

You haven't answered how - or who with - you'd replace him...

I would play lookman or Bernard and bring theo back in and just so you know I don't get siggy never have.

Confidence mate. Good player he will return.

I have my doubts.... I don't think it's possible for someone to be so handsome and great at football.. it's unfair really. Some things gotta give.

 

[blueconverse]

Out of form, his class will return but his shots on goal give me aids
