2019/20 Gylfi Sigurdsson

I think this is the problem.

I saw a bit of the Leicester/Newcastle game yesterday and there is no comparison between the tempo of the game played by Leicester and by ourselves.
They are a positive team, moving the ball around quickly and constantly probing for openings.

I think we have the players who could pretty much play the same way if allowed.

Did not see the Leicester game, but they have numerous players who can turn play quickly. But Gylfi does not have pace either with or without the ball. The most important thing though is his lack of ability to turn the direction of play quickly. He is a good player, but not suited to the system we play. He is not suited for the No. 8 role either.

this has to count corners and freekicks surely?

It probably does to be fair

Corners. Freekicks.

Same with Digne

Tell you what stats are boss aren’t they, can anyone recall 10 of these “chances” let alone 20?

 

[Seathestars]

I honestly don’t know what to make of this fella anymore

I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve overrated him massively because he plays for us.

They(set pieces) have been horrendous tbh. Once gain stats do not tell the whole story. Luxury player that has completely collapsed this year. He could turn it around but the signs look unclear. If he continues with this form Silva will be gone sooner than later.

In fairness there's at least 19 other players taking corners and free kicks in the league so surely even if it does include these all those players should be up there too.

Good lad Gylfi.
I'm a big fan but I must admit his all round game has been poor this season barring the Wolves game.
Needs to buck up.

So to hide his horrendous displays we’re now back to trying to pan people with pointless stats

he should be first out when the window opens

Not a single team in world football would buy him.

 

[jaycee]

I dont take notice of stats like these,I have seen with my own eyes he has been anonymous so far

If someone as gifted as Ozil isn't able to cope with the pace of the league anymore, it shouldn't be all that surprising to see Sigurdsson struggling.

He still produces moments of genuine quality, and I could easily see him doing well in a less physically demanding country, but the game in England has largely passed him by.
