2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[CRIMHEAD]

I’d change the formation to a 433, drop Gylfi and move Bernard in, there needs to be a fast turnover of the ball and more intensity in the attack.

The press we seen at the start of the season has gone

Cool, who is playing the 10?

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Just like the rest of the team, poor in the first 30, much better in the second half. Played some very dangerous balls in which could/should have resulted in goals.

Exactly. And he does it every week. Who else does? Almost no one. He's the only one.

Show me where he says that. That's ridiculous. He's already played Sigurdsson in the pivot role he played Cleverly in. He's played him in central midfield in a 4-4-2. Silva's 4-3-3 is played with either 1 or 2 DMs.

Here are his exact quotes:

"One second season I used 4-4-2 and sometimes last season three at the back in some moments but 4-3-3 is my system, depending on my No6."

“Depending the profile of my No6, I can play one and two or I can play two and one behind the striker depending on the profile of our No6," Silva continued.

So...under Watford, his preferred 4-3-3 was in essence a 4-2-1-3. Capoue / Doucoure at No 6s, Cleverly as a pivot 10. Really, those twin 6s play more box to box and his 10 usually sat deeper with the wings and CF pushing up the pitch.

When he says behind the striker, he's talking about a position that Sigurdsson can play. With us, he's playing a 4-3-3, that is really a No. 6, an 8 in Gomes, and a 10 in Siggy. I actually think he'd like a Scheniderlin like player to be like Willam Carvalho - and Wilmar Barrios, so he can play both, but he doesn't have the players.

Mate, 2 of us have seen the article but we just can’t find it. He said it though

And he’s not in anyway playing a 433 here.

Nobody

AGAIN, he's not a 10. Bernard doesn't play the 10. Why do people keep thinking he's a 10.

Sigurdsson was fine today. He gave it a away a few times, but he also sprug a couple folks and created opportunities for others.

He was not fine...behave

 

[Billysgingham.]

Poor again needs removing.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Don't need to sell him. He's a very useful player to have. Always baffles me when if a player isn't doing well they need to be sold. We'd have no players left!

I don't think he's awful at all, but we're so bereft of credible midfield candidates he's hard to drop. So when he's off key or we need a different option we plough the same furrow. When he's playing like today he needs the hook or just dropping out of the starting line up. Competition isn't coming from Davies, Schneiderlin or McCarthy due to form, style of midfielder or quality.

Hopefully Newcastle get bought out so they can take him off our hands

A lad behind me today got it right, he said "Fans only want to remember the 15 minutes Sigurdsson played well, and conveniently forget the other 75 minutes where he was crap, yet he gets away with it, while other players get loads of grief."

I don't get it with 45m never have never will but I have tried but he's not for me.

Jesus mate! you do know you're not too ever, ever use how much we paid for him against him. Bullets in the post methinks coming your way.

I don't mind setting people up, I only use that because I can't be arsed spelling his name.

Think about the formation for a minute and ask yourself "where does a 10 fit in there?".

 

[MikeH72]

Easily our second best attacking player after Lookmam.

Some posts are written before the game and are posted 30 mins after the game regardless of what happened on the pitch.

I agree Steven, @CRIMHEAD and @ZeDebunker are particularly guilty of this.

 

[efcjames]

All he does is run around and get in the way
