2019/20 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Give Bernard the chance there.

Still baffles me why Silva decided to make Bernard the fall guy, especially after watching Sigurdsson just stroll around the pitch.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Think he's a bit of a scapegoat. Hes waiting for the cut backs time n time again and instead we bomb them cluelessly in.

I'm assuming he's being told not to drop back where he could make a difference

Instead of just standing there (normally right next to an opposition player) waiting for cut backs he could actually get more involved and go looking for the ball.

Is bang out-of-form and should not be playing. Silva should have changed things around after the Villa game.

Maybe 2 up-front, whatever... Silva has less idea than me of his best team. But Gilfi has been stinking the place
out since the start of the season.

Against Burnley you need determination and presence; not an invisible man.

Agree. He was poor. But we actually dont play the ball to his area. Its constant sideways passing. Id have actually dropped him back to play with a holding midfielder in center mid for last number of matches when gomes was out. Morgan snides is iffering nothing but chicken tackles there and sideways passing.

Bernard could be given a go as number 10

On the whole, Sigurdsson has been a big waste of space. Everyone says what a great player he is but he's invisible in too many games. His face often betrays a man lacking in confidence.

Also, his much-vaunted free kicks and corners aren't as good as they're cracked up to be.

 

[TheSecondComing]

Didn’t want him in the first place

He's never scored a freekick for us either

Makes you think why no one else was interested in him when we paid massively over the odds for him

We actually looked better after he went off.

I think he scored 1 for us in his first year?

 

[RFUS]

Still think he's a very good player but only in certain conditions. He needs movement around him and in front of him and at the moment we have nothing at all.

So I would like to see him dropped, maybe for Iwobi with Bernard on the left, because they have the ability to drive at players and make something happen. And right now individual moments of brilliance are about all we can hope for.

Nah he didn’t. He’s also never actually come close from what I remember, never tested the keeper, hit the woodwork, nothing. Pretty much hit the wall every time which is why he’s been banished from free kick duty by Digne.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We’ve been terrible at football ever since he came into the team. He’s a championship chump who shouldn’t be in the premier league.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Disgraceful attitude for a supposed 'playmaker'. Must touch the ball less than any other 10 in Europe! Never drops deep to help out the midfield and rarely even offers a passing option. Is Silva after a severance package or will he drop this utter fraud to try and keep his job?

Having Sigurdsson as a number 10 is a big part of why we are so easy to play against. Most important role on the pitch and he's never involved.

 

[davids]

Have a suspicion Silva is trying to let him play his way into some level of form,and it's looking like that'll be what gets him the sack. Echoes of Martinez and Howard.
