2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Timak]

As I said when we were linked with him, people who don't watch him think he is great. If I were some casual viewer of Everton I'd see a midfielder with 10 goals, and a player the commentators say is a playmaker who dictates games.

I ranted all summer about the signing, him and Bolasie were my litmus tests about whether people actually knew what they were watching when they watched a match and we signed them both for a combined £70m.

Where have I said that?

For the record, he was poor today and has been for the past two months.

I don't know why he was selected today.

I didn't say "recently". He's been poor the beer majority of the time he's been here.

I don't think that's true. I think he was poor in his first few months, good after that, then he got injured.

He started well this season, had a spell where he was very good, and then has had a spell where he's been bad.

But opinions.

Anyone who had watched him knew he isn't that though. Our issues for a long time is we expect him to be.

That doesn't excuse his recent nothing displays, though.

I think the idea when we signed is he would be our Christian Eriksen - didn’t turn out that way!

His recent displays have been the norm for most of his time at Everton.

Yep, cack for the majority of last season, had a good start to this season, then back to his normal cackness.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Ever since that worldie against Leicester, he has been so badly bang average.

 

[Lawrence]

He is not bad just overpriced at 23 million, never mind 46 million. EFC the team that keeps on giving.

[Rugby Toffee]

Disappointed with him , expected more , but in a struggling team , he at times been decentish

 

[evertonarntwe]

Does a couple of good passes each game but for the other 88 minutes he's just running around doing absolutely nothing. Sell him asap

 

[Lelouch]

David Brooks of Bournemouth shown what a #10 is supposed to do and this guy doesn't cut it, He's not even reliable for free kicks anymore now we have Digne and I wouldn't trust him on penalties ever ever again.
Scores a worldie here and there but he's too slow. Take our losses and cut.

 

[BHvisitor]

A set piece expert at Swansea, their talisman, everything was built around him and pace/industry everywhere else mitigated his patent lack of pace. Silva, love or hate him, wants to play a modern (non-Allardyce) style .... Sigurdsson in most matches against good opposition doesn’t suit that.

He played well up to the derby,like most of them. Even yesterday he was unlucky with the lob that hit the bar,and he always has a goal in him, even not playing well. The quality of his play is usually dictated to a degree by what is going on around him. Lets hope the upcoming derby will be a catylyst,and have the opposite effect on the team that the first derby caused.
