Working your socks off is the bare minimum expectation.
For what we paid and the position he plays he should be capable of doing more and helping the team out and he just doesn't.
Fixed
How does he panic in possession? He literally is one of our only players who doesn't, ffs. He's just got the vision and skill to play the game at pace, not have to take 12 touches first.
He attempted 41 passes on Tuesday. His passing accuracy was 95.1%, the highest in our team. 26 of those passes were in the opposition half, with 92.3% accuracy, again the highest in our team.
He has played that same pass that he has played through to Richarlison loads of times this season already.
Off the top of my head...
He did two in the derby - one Walcott, one Richarlison. He did one v S'ton for Walcott. He did one v Leicester (a) for Walcott. He did the ball through to Richarlison for his first goal in our win over Brighton. He played the pass through to DCL for our first goal v Spurs.
But yeh, selective memory is class.
Sigurdsson and Richarlison are literally nothing alike. Richarlison is about pace and power, clever movement off the ball and running at players.
Sigurdsson is about quick passing and interchanges, and finding those runs - which he does very well.
He hasn't been great in the last few matches, but was our best player v Spurs (not hard) and played well in a deeper, slightly different role v Burnley.
In the first half he was decent when he got the ball - and when we got him the ball - in the final third. It was his pressing that got us our best chance, when Maguire hit it at him and with one touch he had it out of his feet and into Richarlison, whose shot was blocked.
He also had that slide-rule pass that Schmeichel just got to before Walcott.
He was poor in the second half.
It's the bare minimum that a lot of put squad are not doing though.
I'm happy with his input. He has scored and creates chances. It's not his fault we haven't got a quality goalscorer.
One of the biggest crimes in football is playing Gylfi Sigurdsson without a Centre forward.
Like having a full bar, hot tub, gym and cinema downstairs and no roof on the upstairs.

Player Valuation: £30m
He's a passenger at times. Centre forward or no centre forward in front of him. He doesn't do enough
The word to sum it up is “crap” or “overrated”
He forces us to play 4-2-3-1, because he can only play in one position, and the formation is absolute AIDS and doesn’t suit anyone else in the team. He’s a hindrance.
