2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Rudolf Hucker]

Another typical performance today. 2-3 great passes, but otherwise anonymous.

We so desparately need an ACM who demands the ball & dictates play.

Good ball to Walcott who should of scored but not much else..

And the thing is mate that is enough for his fans to say he had a good game, they conveniently forget the 'anonymous' bit for the majority of the game.

Utter myth of a player, spent second half hiding behind their cm's instead of demanding the ball and trying to get us going, don't know who hides more, him or Walcott

He’s going to win our player of the season award because of some numbers on the internet.

The problem I see is that most of our losses have come when we're overran in the midfield. We play a high line defence and a 2 man midfield. We play any team with a 3+ man midfield, we're swamped and overrun.

Siggurdson doesn't drop into a midfield 3. He doesn't have the skill or ball control to play as a central midfielder so for the most part the game passes him by. You have to rely on the wingers/fullbacks getting up and down while he swans about barely setting foot back into his own half.

I think its a huge problem.

This is pretty much it in a nutshell. We cannot have a functioning midfield with him in the team in my opinion.

We need another centre midfielder like Gomes which we don't have.

DM
CM CM​

At the moment it's

DM CM
AM
​

When the AM isn't helping out in the midfield in terms of picking the ball up and linking attacks, you've got the CM doing two players jobs.

That's where we get overrun.

 

[Philljacobs]

He was hiding behind their players and moving to the other side of the pitch today when we had the ball. He needs to be demanding the ball and linking things up. Especially if Gomes is playing deeper. He needs to step up.

 

[Stutheblue]

Walcott? Hmmmmm......no its a Gyfi thread so I best not start.

 

[maccavennie]

The sooner the formation is binned the quicker he'll have to change it up and either drop him or move him somewhere else

 

[N90]

As soon as he gets the ball to his feet he wants it gone. Hides behind the other teams players and runs where the ball isn’t. He should be screaming for the ball and lookin to create something absolute ****

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Absolute garbage.

Gone at end of season and I don't care where

 

[wainy]

Truly despicable performance. Supposed to be our no. 10 getting on the ball and making things happen. Always behind the play, has no vision and his set pieces are terrible, 50m flop. Shame on whoever thought he was ever worth that.

 

[Lawrence]

Absolute garbage.

Gone at end of season and I don't care where

Who would buy him? Not worth 4.5 Million never mind 45 million. God we are mugs.

Did he play. Hides
