2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Coggy]

Anyone who thinks tat one players role is to dictate the game is deluded.
It is a team game , where workrate , skill and movement are key.
Siggy was killed by that lacking from others last year.
He is superb this year , as is Tosun..

He doesn't have to dictate the game but he needs to touch the ball. He managed 15 passes in 90 minutes yesterday and only 33 touches of the ball altogether (Gana 81 touches).

Less than a third of the passes from other midfielders and 11 fewer passes than any other outfielder.

Got to get more involved in build up, he is supposed to be our creative player.

But he was involved in both of our goals.

 

[BlueToff]

He also put in 8 crosses, more than any other player.

15 passes definitely isn't enough, but when we played it into him he made it count.

He isn't going to be this player though mate. His best work will come in the final third, where he continues to look dangerous. He does fantastic work without the ball.

LOL, he’s looked decent.

I accept (and always have) that he is an efficient attacker. I just don't see how a midfield can function with him in without two ball retaining players. We currently have none.

Define fantastic.

That's your view mate , not mine though.
Played really well so far

 

[Pete Campbell]

Has been our man of the match 2 games in a row. Good to see from the ice man.

Then you might want to watch some other teams play, because that’s a very narrow way of looking at football. Although we do have two and we are 7th in the league in possession despite behind down a man for quite some time and Silva not being super concerned about possession.

He’s averaging 2.7 key passes a match, no one else on the team isn’t even close.

 

[banno]

Good player. Not worth 45m nevertheless a good player that I am happy to have. Will make things happen and is making things happen

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

Just watched a 90m pogba walk round the pitch giving 5 yard passes away never trying a lick to regain possession when he’s lost it or his team have lost it,didn’t contribute one thing to United and hasn’t done in a lot of games for them,can’t believe the stick he comes in for ,Gylfi didn’t set the price tag ...but we’re now seeing the best of him in a manager who knows his best position,always looking to create

Set up a goal didn’t he ?
