2019/20 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Jimmy Grimble]

What a goal. And great that we have competition for that number 10 role. Gonna be interesting to see what unfolds over the next few weeks. Good to be able to change it up for example the busy chrimbo period.

Iwobi still keeps his place next game as do the rest.

Silva will start him in the next game

Not been at the races this season but iwobi didnt nail a starting postion down. Awful touch and that one on one

One decent game in 5

 

[Stutheblue]

Great goal. Needs more consistency.

 

[Thomasc]

Silva will start him in the next game

Barring injury he will keep exactly the same side which started today.

 

[blueblue]

If Silva changes the side to any degree and part of that is bringing Sigurdsson into the team then he deserves to be sacked for that alone.

When you need a moment of class, step forward Iceman.

Operative word there is “moment.”

I hope your not saying that Gylfi was decent today, as he has been awful all season. Yes every single game.
Today he took his goal well, but one shot in 8 1/2 games

I like Gylfi, one of those players who can score from anywhere. But Iwobi was so important in progressing our play up the field today that going forward I prefer to see him starting ahead of Gylfi.

Exactly. Gomes and Iwobi were the hub of the wheel, essentially. Everywhere they needed to be and central at distributing around the pitch.

Something else interesting I observed. Our reliance on crosses dropped by about 90%. We created from all parts of the pitch, including the middle. Which made the attack so much less predictable that West Ham was off-kilter all match.

 

[parkendkev]

Great goal from Gylfi, but no one deserves to lose their place for Brighton next week.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Completely the right decision to drop him. And we should stick with Iwobi.

But that was exactly what we need off the bench too. I've a lot of respect for how he responded by smashing one in.

 

[Marius57]

Struggled to produce. Then when his position is under threat he pulls out a finish like that.

He was very good against Wolves.
