2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Tel001]

Considering you said football isn't even in your Top 5 favourite sports I doubt you've taken the time to watch any of the players I listed.

If you think Marek Hamsik is only two-footed when it comes to shooting and not passing & crossing then you need to go take a long hard look in the mirror. Most two-footed player I've personally ever seen.

Nedved was insanely two footed back in the day.

90mins a game is 3420mins over a season

Open play:

Sigurdsson 348 mins per goal
Calvert-Lewin 296 mins per goal


If each played full matches over the season

Sigurdsson 10 goals
Calvert-Lewin 12 goals

(Both rounded up)


Id be impressed if both had netted around 15 from open play over a season.

But like you say, DCL didnt have the minutes but contributed very effectively although is derided by some...

Just find it odd how Sigurdsson gets the plaudits.

You’re on the wind up for sure . One is as cool as ice in front of goal and the other has the finishing of a CB

And yet...the stats dont tell that story.

Utter lunatic.

Imagine trying to compare DCL with The Viking.

As the stats show, there really isnt much of a comparison.

You are using stats to compare Iceland to DCL?



Tag me in if DCL ever does that.

Love the "if you take away set pieces" posse.

There literally a set piece every 2 or 3 minutes in EVERY game of footy, but people think its ok to remove them from peoples stats, its utterly comical.

Its like saying "if you take away all the passes in the game".

Not really - see Luka Milivojević for details.

If only Iceland could score penos.

He'd be statistically better than Messi I guess.

Not sure what Goats rambling on about here...I took away penalties not all set pieces...


Tubey, RickyRider already showed he was better than messi.

 

[MACCA75]

DCL can’t even strike a ball. He will NEVER be a top striker, or even close.
Just about every goal he has ever scored has been a point blank range header or a weak deflected shot.

Guess which Everton players is in the top 10 for distance covered this season.

Thank the Lord that @RickyRyder has been banned again lol

Sigurdsson isn't a striker so no, there isn't really...
