The least of our problems but I was disappointed in him today. Captains armband, both positions he says are his best. And he was absolutely peripheral.

At some point one or two players have to drag you through poor performances. It’s not good enough putting in a 6 or a 7 just because there are some 5s knocking about.
 
He kept compounding his own mistakes in the second half. He's a liability at times due to what looks like a lack of self belief. His body language in the second half was appalling.

Jesus Christ Tim

He was poor in the second half, but ffs, 'body language'!

They were all crap today
 
Again.. the absolute least of our problems.
Only marginally, the role he plays is arguably the most pivotal in an attacking sense in the modern game. Like salah, hazard, alli, now pogba, he’s given some freedom to be creative and spark attacks but unfortunately He provides a telling pass every 8-10 passes, has no pace, doesn’t beat defenders and his set pieces are now cack.
 

Has the search party we sent out 2 months ago found him yet because he's been missing ever since.

Can anyone point out any of these recent matches where he's looked good?

He's had his purple patch and is back to hiding again.

When he had the ball, he made stuff happen, bar one sloppy pass to Bernard in the second half.

When he goes searching deep for the ball it negates his game. What I will say is maybe he could show for it more, but we're also playing almost exclusively down the wings, yet all of our (half) chances in the first half came from Gylfi getting the ball in the 10 position.

Everything he does is one or two touch. Compare that with Dom or Theo, who need about 17 before doing anything.

Gylfi looks better with Rich ahead of him and tbh, Rich looks better central, because they dovetail well with each other. Back to that for home games, pls Marco.

He can put the ball in the goal but for the other 89 minutes he offers very little.

Everything he does is 1 or 2 touch because he panics in possession and can't run with the ball or go past a man.

The one through ball he played for Richarlison at Burnley is about the only decent one I can remember him playing for months now.

He scores goals but he just isn't creative enough at all and if he doesn't score then he often has no impact on the match whatsoever.

Richarlison at least takes players on and gets us up the pitch as well as scores goals and actually looks worth his price tag.

On patches like this where we look hopeless he should be standing out as a creative spark and he never does.
