2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

Gylfi's is one of our best players, if not the best.
Whether Silva is getting the best out of him, whether he suits what Silva is trying to do (whatever that is)
are the questions

Agree to an extent.

I think it's a mix of both. Does the system get the best out of him, and is Gylfi good enough (on his day) to have the system built around him. I'd have to say on that last point, as much as I like him, not for me.

But, we do need a system that helps get the best out of him because he's our best creative player. I don't see how there can be arguments with that. He creates chances - as he should - and scores goals.

Now, would it be better to move him into a three, so he can have more of the ball - because the accusation is in that second striker role he doesn't 'do enough'. You'd then have to make sure the front three was a proper three - not a central striker isolated inbetween two wingers stuck out on the touchlines, with no movement.

Or, is it to stick with him in the 2nd striker role and try and get back to the form of our decent run. For that I think Richarlison needs to be central and we need to have him dragging defences around, opening up space for Gylfi and Bernard to operate in.
 

The echo saying he’s created more chances than any other player.
Too bad he’s not creative, and doesnt create chances, right folks? Right?

Gylfi is the least of our problems, bring in someone able to get on the end of his balls and we’d climb the table.

This. ☝️

No out and out goal machine drags gylf, Rico and others out of position. As it goes, I never wanted him anyway, not 'us' somehow, but with Rico left or, Lookman / Bernard or an in form Walcott right and a decent two in front he can still wreak havoc.

Michy would fix this.

The gylfi haters wont like that. They hate facts. "He dusnt get involved enuff. He goes missing,"
 
Definitely not this
I can't see how anyone could question it.
He's got drive, guts and a winners mentality to go with a good deal of smarts.
When he represents Iceland its obvious.
There have been times this season when he has looked lost and out of sorts.
But to question his this is really to point the finger at Silva.
There are games we would have def lost this season without his lung busting runs, both in attack and defence.
He's got an engine to go with the class.
His middle name is Thor ffs.

Either Silva does not know how, or does not want to, harness what Gylfi's got.
Silva's (and Gylfi's) problem is probably his two best players (Gana) contradict each other.

That’s true, though. I think he’s a very good player, but needs to reach what his potential is and soon if he’s to repay any of that money we spent on him.

He's already got a bird, doesn't he?

Don’t care about Iceland and he hasn’t got what you described. He hides quite regularly and has done throughout his career

He’ll be forgotten about rather quickly once his Everton career ends

He need to plays in a diamond or 3 man midfield.
Not as a traditional 10 or second striker waiting for the ball to come out of the build up.
rather he should be integral to the build up - combined with a Cahill role (younger version).
He should be deeper doing a lot of the graft both in defence and attack.
But from there, he is perfectly positioned to play to his attacking strengths - to put those delightful passes into the forwards and/or make the ghosting runs into the box with the intelligence and skill to be lethal.
