2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[ProZ]

I’ll be really honest, he offers nothing besides a decent shot and set piece, if we are looking for him to pull strings in the hole then I’m afraid we have the wrong man.

 

[Manx Blue]

Agree with all of that but I genuinely believe all three of those mentioned are very decent footballers.

Something just goes badly wrong when they turn out for us.

The term ‘getting Everton’ is often banded about - we need a few of them right now.

It doesn’t matter what Silva does as Schneiderlin Gueye and Siggurdson play the same ineffective dross way everytime they take to the pitch. You can count on one hand the number of even passable midfield performances those three gave as a combination. Schneiderlin walks around by the centrebacks, Gueye normally isles around about 5 yards away from him ready to pass the ball back the second he gets it, then Siggurdson is usually 40 yards up the pitch hiding behind an opposition centreback with zero chance of doing anything. In the 40 yard are of space in between the opposition midfield usually occupy with ease as they stroll through us and put us under concerted pressure.

It’s a championship level midfield. A geriatric Rooney who hadn’t even played his whole career there had more midfield talent in one leg than this three combined. They are utter pony and should have been turned out by Brands and Silva. Honesty watching Rennes and Blackburn dominate them was both embarassing and unsurprising at the same time. God knows what premier league midfields will do to them.

 

[Tak]

Nah, Sigurdsson can't do that I don't think.

I mean, he could slot in maybe, but I don't think he has the pace to cover if Gueye is caught out.

Get either a powerful, box-to-box player or a playmaker like Ziyech for that role.

*Sigh*

You're right. I clutched, now the straw slips from my grasp...

While situation has got me down tbh.
This supporting a football team biz is supposed to be fun for goodness sake!

 

[Manx Blue]

Always thought this is where Barkley should have played.

As the 8 alongside the 6, carrying the ball and picking passes. He never got that opportunity.

Different level I preface; but a deep passing player can work well, a Pivote in Italiano cf Andrea Pirlo.

Gattuso/Pirlo
Gueye/Siggurdson

Should have flogged him to Leicester before they signed Maddison - £25-30 million would have done it.

There’s ‘getting Everton’ and then there’s ‘getting Evertonised’... most of our players have got the latter

He might of done if he signed, but he choose not to, so missed his chance, no loss to us as I doubt he would of ever of lived up to any potential we thought he had

Hasn't exactly lit Chelsea up!!! For me good riddance if a player does not to be part of us.

 

[Groucho]

In all honesty, it’s doing my head in the way some people refer to him as Iceland.

Number 10 now apparently too.

 

[everton1953]

Not our biggest problem among the players retained. There are others we may have to wait until next year to get rid of.

 

[SixtyGrand]

Still baffles me how we spent £45 million on the bloke lol

 

[evertony]

The stick Gylfi gets baffles me....he’s one of the few players we have who has more than an a modicum of technical ability, and his work rate is statistically better than the vast majority of the squad.

People seem to be forgetting that he was decent before his recent injury.

You could always just add the word to the blocked word list like you did with F R A N D
