2018/19 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[everton1953]

Brand's task is to unload the crap players first which will take time. He is doing a grand job so far. When we are riding high and knocking on the door of 5th place in maybe 2 years time, then we can look to offload the quite good but not very good players, not before then. However as someone said unless you are a top 4 team which we may never be, you have to have some players in your squad of the quality of Sigurdsson. I do not care what he cost. It was not my money. But some on here seem to want to ditch him because of his not being "value for money".

Never seen him play like de bruyne if I'm honest,.

southampton home

This is my problem with him ultimately. We have enough of these average scoring players, we need our £45m “creative” outlet to be hitting 8’s and 9’s at least semi-regularly. People talk as if he does do that, but it’s all just hot air. He doesn’t actually affect our play at all.

Absolute truffle.

And by percentage, more people think you're wrong than right based on August.

Have fans really gone back to moaning about Siggy just because the whole side was awful last Saturday?

It doesn’t really matter what more people think (or want to think).

Tell that to Brexit.

What matches are they? I hope you’re not going to say Southampton, even though he did play well in that game, MOTM has to go to Walcott for scoring and assisting to win us the game.

Yeah fair enough. Walcott should have had another assist as wellafter that neat turn and exquisite reverse pass to the Icelandic donkey, only for siggy to screw it wide with the entire goal at his mercy.

Oh hang on, almost like people only remember the stuff that suits them.

Did you purposely miss out that part where I said Sigurdsson played well Steven?

You begged me not say he was MOTM as Walcott was clearly superior.

Was just pointing out this wasn’t necessarily a given.

Its stunning how quickly some in here turn on players. Its just a pathetic trait of our fan base, i guess.

No one has turned on him most knew he was not the player you obviously thought he was.

Because you're right and they're wrong? lol

Ok mate.

 

[Goat]

I have to strongly disagree with that, I think he's the ideal Silva player. Very hard working, experienced and with great technical ability. Reckon Silva is a massive fan personally.

He doesnt get involved enough and limits Silvas ability to play 4-3-3.

If Silva can get the number 8s and the number 6 he wants he wont get games, thankfully for Iceland that will take 2 or 3 years.

No, because what people see with their eyes (or what they want to see), doesn’t affect what I can see with mine.

And right back at you- you clearly don't want to see it what he brings. But that's your prerogative.

I'd just ask you to be more open minded towards the error being yours, given statistically more people think you're wrong than right.
