2019/20 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[zzr45]

See we’re still defending this useless clown

Wait this isn’t the Kean thread.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He doesn't get involved in the play.

I can't think of a bigger criticism of a player who cost over 40m.

 

[sageyefc]

He's not suited to modern premier league football

 

[Lowste]

Just not good enough, hence no clubs outside us wanting him

 

[marsh]

Poor.

 

[James Patrick]

Unfortunately we won't get our dough back and his wages are too high for the clubs who'd be interested.

 

[nsno-chris]

He should be made to walk round with a big “for sale” sign on his back

An utter fraud who is milking us dry

 

[Azza]

He's not arsed.

Said it the other week he just needs to put in the bare minimum to keep his place, maybe score a worldie once every other month. But he can just stroll around earning his £100k a week without exerting himself too much.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Been poor but unsure how he is supposed to get more involved when our whole setup is to rely on overlapping fullbacks and winger link up to put crosses into the box.

Literally nothing went through the middle today

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

I’ve been saying this since the start of the season. He’s never been our Barkley replacement and he’s too slow

Iwobi or Davies as our #10

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We need to get rid of all the physically-challenged limited-on-the-dribble luxury players in the side. The league is a different place than it was a decade ago.

You either need to be quick, strong or incredibly crafty like David Silva. Sigurdsson is none of those 3. He is a skilled player without the physical ability or intelligence off the ball.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Cack.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I'm one of Gylfi's biggest fans, but today he was awful, and questions need to asked of his position in the team at present. But overall this team should be doing a lot more than we are, so Silva should be scrutinised as well as other individuals.

The problem is mate Silva is trying to accommodate Sigurdsson when in reality the way Silva wants to set - up wouldn't include Sigurdsson.

 

[Number_25]

He hasn't started well.

 

[Zatara]

Been poor but unsure how he is supposed to get more involved when our whole setup is to rely on overlapping fullbacks and winger link up to put crosses into the box.

Literally nothing went through the middle today

Do you not wonder why we were after Doucoure? Also recognise that Gomes is injured...

Sigurdsson + Delph + Schneiderlin and you want to play it through the centre?

That wont work.
