Did he take the corner from which DCL scored?
Scary to think we've paid so much for someone who offers way less than Arteta. I miss the days of picking up bargains.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Rooney has created more chances than anyone in the side.
If anyone needs a striker to feed, it's him.
This would be his only and last resort to start stepping up. Its not working out for him as it is. He's not fleet of foot but must surely have a football brain for £45m! So in the middle behind the striker with runners either side is his only hope. Massive disappointment thus far.
Actually, I think statistically speaking, Gylfi has created the most chances.
I have no issues with Rooney playing as a 10 but if he does he needs to stay in and around the box.
Against Leicester he dropped way too deep. It stagnates our play.
He played well yesterday I thought.
His delivery from set-pieces is second-to-none as well. He put 4 or 5 superb crosses in yesterday.
Yes, he's not lived up to his (£40m) price so far, but Keane hasn't lived up to his and Rooney hasn't lived up to his massive wage packet.
He set up our equaliser mate did he not?
Or was it Baines...
Either way, I think Gylfi had a decent game. He's a 10 though. Why we play him anywhere but his correct position baffles me.
He got a chance to score while playing as a 10. Should have done better, but he knows where to be to get a sniff of goal when playing that position.
If that's him playing well then Christ, we really have bought a lemon for £45m.
Of the three behind the striker (Davies Rooney and Sig) he was probably the better of the three. But thats not saying much really. I recall him sending one or two great crosses in. But I'll defer to you if your saying 4 or 5. Not wishing to split hairs. But, he's not got going yet which you've intimated yourself. Yes, not the only one. But when speaking about him in isolation on the whole he's been very disappointing so far. Can still turn it round hopefully.
he was awful yesterday, people are trying to paint a different picture and roll out the excuses to suit their agendas, but he was still crap and still refused to get involved, that's not to say he can't still be a good player for us, but he needs to show some bottle and start from there, right now he is tom cleverly with a decent set piece delivery
Your standards are evidently somewhat below mine when it comes to judging a player's performance. He was a 6 out of 10 at best yesterday, and I think i'm being kind there.
Everyone keeps saying he needs to play that number 10 role to see the best of him, could be wrong like, but hasn't he already played the number 10 role for us a few times?
Well, it was an improvement on what went before, I think.
Nobody was brilliant.
Tom Davies has been abysmal this season. So has Keane since his form dropped off a cliff in late August.
So has Rooney.
Only players with any credit so far for me are DCL and Niasse.
But I think Gylfi should feature in our strongest XI. Playing in his correct role, with players around him who actually make forward runs...
