2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[nsno-chris]

Coutinho was good for 3 months, Sigurdsson outperformed him in literally every single PL season.

Gylfi at 22 years old had similar stats to Coutinho's when he was sold for £144 million. Same amount of goals & 1 less assist.

I sincerely doubt losing our best player will somehow improve us. Look at what happened when we sold Lukaku.

Blame our team mates for being too stupid to pass to him instead of Sigurdsson.

People like you will claim Sigurdsson sucked against Fulham despite creating 2 chances, 1 clearcut 1on1 & perfectly finding himself in a 1on1 situation where Gueye opted to shoot rather than pass it to him. How many passes did he receive the entire match? 13. He received 13 passes from his team mates in 74 minutes before getting taken off.

In the span of 1½ min Sigurdsson found himself perfectly to score the equalizer, and then setup what should've been DCL's winner.

Gueye refused to pass the ball & DCL fluffed his chance. But blame it on Sigurdsson. Lol.

I'm guessing you're going to blame Sigurdsson for not touching the ball here as well? Right?? Right???

Our main striker opted to go for goal instead of putting Sigurdsson 1on1. Not only does DCL rob assists from Gylfi but goals as well.

Do you touch yourself when you’re hiding in Iceland’s garden???

Can we get some more stats pls?

Sure, why not?

Since 2014/15 out of these 6 Playmakers he creates by far the most amount of assists, chances & key passes per pass.

Only KDB comes anywhere near him, and has created fewer key passes than Sigurdsson despite having 1290 more passes. 20.5%.

Hazard attempts 240 passes per assist while Sigurdsson requires 105 fewer passes.

David Silva & Hazard have the same amount of assists (37) despite having 3909 more passes than him (44%)

He is by far the Premier League's most creative player, and if he received more passes he would flush the competition. The statistics prove it.

Why haven’t they bought him as Iniesta’s replacement then? Or why hasn’t any top club ever bought him?

Liverpool & Tottenham in recent years have shown interest in him. Both are in the CL final but apparently not top clubs according to folley mikeh72 & sageyefc

Does a little part of you die inside every time he scores or assists?

The answer is yes. Imagine supporting a team and not rating its top scorer

 

[Thomasc]

Its a similar quandary to what Liverpool had with coutinho, on paper it was the end of the world losing him but in reality it made them a better more balanced side

There is zero evidence to back up your claim, it’s basically just some words you’ve jumbled together and tried to make it sound true.

They finished second and are in a champions league final, I'd say that's evidence enough that they've improved

No fam, I’m all for Everton unlike you. When you compile stats on Iceland do you get a full lob on, or just a halfy????

So you are 100% categorically stating that the reason all this happened is because they replaced Coutinho? Sound.

You are also stating that we need to get rid of Gylfi to improve too? If so, based on what exactly?

All that these stats actually go to prove is that you get a very decent return out of Gylfi every season.

Now if we could just get the rest of the playing staff doing the same, we might be on to something

Yes

So you think they'd be as good as they are now if they kept him?

Paul Pogba was just as effective as Gylfi this year, yet hell be first out the door.

Who actually knows? He may have completely flourished in this side with those players around him, it’s complete guesswork.

One is a model pro who just goes about his business, the other openly touts for recognition and is a complete drama queen.

I think that might have something to do with that irrelevant point you made.

He's got some of the best players in the world around him now and he's absolute plop
