That's the thing.
Richarlison does a lot of good things but he does some bad things too but seems above criticism.
Siggy is the same but get's slaughtered because he's not a 'hipster' player.
I just don't get why Siggy, our most productive player is getting so much stick when ...
Pickford makes mistakes because he's over confident.
Coleman can't cross.
Keane takes half an hour to turn.
Mina is wreckless.
Richarlison hogs the ball.
Morgs is useless.
Bernard can't shoot and isn't productive enough.
DCL can't shoot to save his life.
Siggy is arguably our best player and is a team player, yet seems to get more stick than other players who have even more glaring weaknesses.
I'm not sure what reality some people are living in.
Its because he isn't a traditional 10 that holds the ball. So since it doesn't fit the traditional model, he sucks, or he hides.
Yet he does control the flow of our attacking play.
He’s just had an off game. Games can pass players by and they can still score or create a match winning chance. That’s what good players do.
You could see the disappointment in his face when he was subbed. He knows.
Nail on the head. With the team being over reliant Siggy it is obvious the fans are also over reliant. They know what he can do but if he doesn't deliver each and every game then it is he who gets the flak. Opposition teams know Siggy is probably the one to keep quiet so he has more attention on him.
I think he's a great player for us in certain games and moments, but we are becoming a bit predictable and over reliant on him.
We are being figured out as we are playing the same way with no real interchange and a lack of ideas from the front men.
We have a few options now - Iwobi can play the 10 and I think he will be a great player for us in that position in the future, and Bernard could maybe play the 10 as well..
We just can't rely and play Gylfi week in week out in the same position. Sometimes we are carrying him a little - especially away from home because of his lack of pace and the fact he doesn't always track back..
Sigurdsson has arguably the most important role in our team given the position he plays
Here are his stats for us so far in the prem since joining 2 years ago
66 appearances, 17 goals and 9 assists
For someone who plays in such a crucial role for us is that good enough?
At Liverpool they give their front three the freedom to do whatever they want there is no 1 focal player however with us it is different most of out creativity goes through 1 player which is Sigurdsson
Now compare each individual player at Liverpool in the prem over the same period that Sigurdsson has been with us for
Salah - 75 appearances, 55 goals, 19 assists
Firmino - 72 appearances, 27 goals, 13 assists
Mane - 66 appearances, 32 goals, 8 assists
Is it time to abandon 4231 and go for the more forward thinking free flowing 433 with kean, richarlison and iwobi up top?

For me he will need to be replaced this season and we can start to play 433. We can still play a number 10 in certain games abs will have Bernard & iwobi who could do that job.Sigurdsson has arguably the most important role in our team given the position he plays

Needs to be dropping deeper if he wants to influence the game.
That is how I would like to see it but have said before Silva likes to play safe.
