2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[nsno-chris]

Awesome reading comprehension.

Oh coz Gylfi runs round a bit.

Sound

Stats are all too Fifa ish for me and hardly tell the whole picture as they can be easily manipulated. Take Henderson and Jorginho. Pass masters according to stats but when you watch them, they treat the ball as grenade when pressed and don't understand what a forward pass is. What I see with me eyes tells me a different story.

Ok, fine, but you accused him of being lazy. Does distance covered lie? Does it indicate any level of work rate? The guy works hard. Bag on his ability all you want, but you can't question his effort, he busts his tail as much as anyone.

Siggy is a quality player but as weak as piss. My Nan could push him off the ball. We wouldn't miss him if he went.

We'd miss his 8 goals?

His stats are so high because he runs away from the ball all the time

Anything to disappear the absolute wet blanket

What do you want him to do?

 

[Lowste]

Can we stop the Bernard in the middle shouts, please? Why on earth would anyone think he can play ACM? Because he played a couple games there in his Brazilian side in 2013? He played a total of like 24 minutes at center mid for Shaktar, once as a last minute sub in a cup game. He's not a central player, he plays on the outside and he's GOOD.

Think he is wasted if honest

 

[Lowste]

That reads much better now

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I'm fairly confident he's sober most of the time he's playing.

Now Wayne Rooney in DC, that's another issue...

Amazingly high player ratings for someone who runs away from stuff. Too bad he didn't disappear when England played Iceland in the Euros.

Be involved

Lol, arsed about England.

Gylfi Runsaroundalot entire career is based on stats. Unfortunately people watch the game and not ratings.

Anyway, do you still think he’s better than Salah???

 

[Bob Elstone]

Doesn’t dominate enough despite his talent.

 

[BlueToff]

Be involved

And when he does drop deep, we then have 30 yards of space between attack and midfield with nobody in it, yet Gylfi still gets the blame.

He's involved in most of our attacks.

I'm not saying that he's been good enough recently, because he hasn't, but he does get involved, he can't do everything.

He was the same at Spurs and Swansea, people get overly excited by his stats and somehow believe that he’s a world class player. He had a 4 or 5 game spell we’re he decided to be be involved and was very good, but that’s just him.

Last year it’s because he was out wide, this year it’s his team mates. If he was sold would he be missed? The answer is clearly no
