2017/18 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Abraders]

That's it. We've basically lost two players from our attack due to Baines decline and Coleman's injury. Then you've got our two central midfielders who don't get over half way either.

As an attacking unit we pretty much have that front four who must be so easy to mark because they're always outnumbered.

Baines declined years ago and has offered no attacking threat in open play or set pieces for a long time!

Agree on Coleman though.

They're an insult to the term 'central midfielders'. That would usually involves running and passing forwards.

We all know Schneiderlin's flaws but my word has Gueye been poor. Looking every inch the player I thought we were getting from Villa last summer.

He's been as bad as Schneiderlin this season. And thats bad. Now getting knocked off the ball at will.

This, his passing went first, now he’s losing tackles.

Beni should play against West Ham, think we will see Rooney ahead of Sig too

Hasn't Gueye still made more successful tackles than anyone in league so far though?

 

[roy vernon]

Siggurdsen (spelling, kopites spell these Scandinavian names better than me) is a good player in a poor side, being played out of position.

Even if he has that doesn't change the fact he hasn't been playing well. Probably suffering from the fact he has Schneiderlin next to him, I'll at least give him that.

People are seriously STILL bitching about Gylfi after today? He was the only one on the pitch doing anything. He also actually presses the hall and attempts to okay the way the coach has asked, I think that much is evident. He ran all over the place and scored a ridiculous goal.

He can play better, but he's not playing as badly as Morgan.

One of the few players who seems to understand what 'pressing' is.

He might understand what pressing is and he did run lots but, he's too slow so the pressing isn't really what it should be? He also doesn't do what a £45mill player does?
The transfer fee isn't his fault and being a limited player, he shouldn't take full responsibility while others on the pitch today were taking the p***.

 

[People75]

I don't understand if it's him, or the team dynamic, or bouth. Well bouth, but..

I wish Uns would stop playing him out of his position, at least.

Come on Gylfi, lead the way!

Could've got a new back 4 for the cost of this chump



Sell

The goal was top-notch. But there were so many times he had to defend and was beaten far too easily. Much better from him, but like the rest of the team, needs to step up defensively.
