2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Tree13]

The commentators on the stream i was watching talked about Gylfi marking Jorginho. They didnt see the point.

It has quite literally been the blueprint for stifling Chelsea under Sarri. Practically every team that has got any kind of result against Chelsea this season has deployed someone to harass and isolate Jorginho.

It has quite literally been the blueprint for stifling Chelsea under Sarri. Practically every team that has got any kind of result against Chelsea this season has deployed someone to harass and isolate Jorginho.

I don't remember the exact number but back in late January he had made nearly 1,900 passes without making a single assist up to that point in the season.

It's March and he still hasn't made an assist, with a pricey figure of two goals for his £57m price tag. People talk about Gylfi not living up to his price...

Never has a player scored so many goals for a club that has received so much criticism.

Never has a player scored so many goals while simultaneously being so anonymous and very 'meh', ultimate stat man

 

[Tel001]

Would like to see some stats about how successful he was at doing so.

Jorginho seemed to have plenty of the ball yesterday.

Edit: Jorginho had 74 touches, a 80% pass accuracy including a single key pass. Sigurdsson had 37 touches with a 61% pass accuracy including 3 KP's.

Didn't matter mate, Walcott didn't score so obviously gylfi is crap. He should have hit it a bit harder so the keeper would have come out and given Walcott an open goal crap is gylfi.

Must be difficult for Gylfi to play a ball like that knowing that Walcott is on the end of it so it's inevitably going nowhere.

Passes like that are easy to remember when they only happen once a game.

one bad bad crab that jorginho mate, absolutely amazing how they have spunked this cash on him, to replace kante who is by far the best defensive midfielder in the world and move him further forward out of position, bad plonker that sari. one of the most bizarre appointments ive seen in a long while that

£57m for essentially Schneiderlin with a cool sounding name.

Yes, very good

But why no Gylfi specific stats? This is not usually the case?

I don't know what you expect - the key pass metric suggests 1-2 key passes per match occurs.

For Everton, the only other player that makes more key passes per 90 minutes that has played at least 20 matches is Lucas Digne with 2.12 (Sigurdsson does 1.88 KP/90): https://understat.com/team/Everton/2018
