2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Toffe3m4n]

I can't wait for him to get dropped to the bench never to return.

He offers absolutely nothing in open play.

Coward is the word for him. I wanted him to be amazing and he's not even been good, just OK.

This is him being found out at Spurs all over again. Every week he just turns up and does sod all except run about a bit.

How he's made a career playing #10 when he can't really beat a man, pick a pass, and start attacking moves is beyond me.

He hasn't fit any style of play from the 4 managers he's played under here. It doesn't matter what position he plays, he's still mostly ineffective every match. It doesn't matter who he plays with for us, he is still going missing.

I didn't miss him when he got injured last year.

You mean apart from the goals he scores?

You mean apart from the goals he scores?

8 goals in 40 games - all comps.
5 in 32 PL Games.

Bow down to the almighty and wonderous Gylfi.

He scored as much Osman used to for us last season mate. Hardly pulling up trees there.

Cahill scored goals and while we all loved him we still wanted more from his game than that.

Thought this would be less to be honest.
Bet he's happy with those stats.

Dunno abar that J. But I get where you're coming from.

Gylfi is more Osman than Cahill. Sooner folks realise that, the better.

The stat that really surprised me (even though I’m obviously not his biggest fan) was his assists, in all his prem games with us it’s something like 1 assist every 6 games.

Osman in his prime was better than Sigurdsson right now. Debate yer ma.

Still think he's a boss player, he hasn't been as effective for us as we had all hoped but I think the team around him doesn't help. Let's see how he gets on when the players Silva and Brands brought in, have played a dozen games with him.

More excuses.

More excuses.

Yeah, I agree that’s what it looks like. But rather than excuses I’m more trying to say, let’s see how he gets on and if he’s still playing like he is now then we move him on. We can’t do anything with him before January anyway (we could maybe try Bernard there, but he’s played just over 45 min and looks sound out wide) . You’d hope that by then we will have seen him with them players.

I am a fan of him, but I definitely see why people think he’s crap.

Good players should elevate the team and shouldn't need the team to elevate them.

Richarlison completely exposed him when he came in because he had a major impact from the off and looked like a proper player despite playing with the same players.
