I don't remember this chap but having read through his posting history, I'm hooked. Absolutely caning the Excel Spreadsheet game
I don't know how one can have so much of an opinion on one player as random as Gylfi Sigurdsson.
*sets up SchluppyTheBlue account
My favourite kind. You have to respect any man whose only seeming purpose is to kick in the door of internet forums and deal some straight T about how great Gylfi Sigurdsson is. How does such a man's story even begin?
Someone disagree with him and he'll pull out the 'You're Autistic' shouts and then'll run away to Reddit.
Hi @SiggyTheBlue long time fam, shame about your previous banning.
Anyway your boy is showing what a spineless, stat driven coward he his. Do nothing all game, bottle out of tackles then pop with an assist or a goal to keep you little fan boys nice and moist
He belongs in the valleys with your abhorrent views on mental health.
Peace out
He's at it across all platforms of social media and you have to admire a man for that sort of commitment. Here he is on the other Everton forrum, apparently being accused of being a RAWK WUM, who'd have thought.
And here he is on Reddit

I also remember he used autism as an insult and told the mods how to do their jobs on his last visit as @SiggyTheBlue, and for that reason I've had to report him in the hope of another swift banning.

Gylfi, if you're reading this mate, I never doubted you. x
There's certain categories of oddballs and I embrace most of them to be honest, but he's a bit sinister and is likely to turn up on your doorstep to murder you at any given time for not agreeing with his opinion. If we start to get a load of murders where a little bag of Gylfis hair is left at each crime scene then I think we know the culprit.
Worrying times whilst he's on the loose, stay vigilant Michael.

I've watched Eriksen since he was 17 playing for Denmark & Ajax's youth team.
I've watched Gylfi since he was 18-19 playing for Iceland & Reading's youth team.
They're very similar players.
Both footed Scandinavian Playmakers capable of playing in the middle or the wings = Not the same at all?
Eriksen is faster in acceleration, Gylfi is faster in full sprint.
Gylfi is stronger, but Eriksen is harder to get the ball off of.
They're both good on their left, but Gylfi's is on a completely different level.
Eriksen can shoot, cross & pass faster.
Gylfi can shoot, cross & pass better.
Eriksen might be good on his left, but he cant cross, shoot or pass nearly as well as Sigurdsson's.
People also like to point out that Sigurdsson is a ''set piece merchant'' but fail to acknowledge that 6 of Eriksen's last 7 assists in 2016/17 were all from set pieces.
Eriksen only registered 1 open play assist in the last 16 apps of 16/17.
They're clearly a lot more similar than people suggest. As an outright winger I would prefer Eriksen, as an overall player I will always prefer Sigurdsson.
Set pieces, heading, defensively, both feet, positions/roles, Sigurdsson offers things that Eriksen & most Playmakers never will.
Do you even watch Spurs? Do you know any Spurs fans? Tell them this and they will laugh in your face.
Eriksen is absolutely not key to the way Spurs retain the ball, and he does not spread the ball all over the pitch.
Eriksen doesn't win back possession or ''release'' players with his passes. He makes simple back passes to the keeper/back 4/DM's and lets them do the rest.
I made a highlight video of every single assist Eriksen registered last season, and you will be incredibly surprised over how many of them are ''tom carroll assists''
Kane/Son/Alli individually create most of Spurs goals.
Spurs beat Leicester 6-1 last season WITHOUT Eriksen.
They obviously don't rely him to create chances, retain possession or spreading the ball.
Passes per assist/chance is the most accurate assessment regarding the efficiency of a player.
The whole point of playing more matches & more minutes rather being benched is because you get more passes per match.
When you're on the bench you cant create chances/assists because you're getting less passes per match.
So obviously having more passes & creating less chances is a negative trait.
Gylfi averages 24 passes per match this season, 27 passes last season & 35-37 in seasons prior.
Eriksen averages 48-55 passes per match, giving him literally twice as many chances to contribute with vastly better team mates.
Thus, pass for pass Gylfi is on a completely different level.
Eriksen has 3 more assists with 2350 more passes. Gylfi would've created 18-20 assists with that amount.
Regarding the ''moving the ball around the field'' Have you ever seen Gylfi play for Iceland or even Swansea? His distribution & ability to spread the ball around the pitch is on another level IMO.
KDB is a great player, but is far from being flawless. As an overall player I would not prefer him over Gylfi.
However, he is the only player in my excel spreadsheet to beat Gylfi on passes per chance/assist.
KDB had 43.6% more passes last season, so he had a lot more chances to create while Sigurdsson was forced to defend. Not to mention that Gylfi was playing out of position, exactly like he is doing now.
I don't think any Playmaker in the world besides Gylfi could've saved Swansea last season, or could save them right now.
KDB is a great player, but how well would he do alongside Nathan Dyer & Wayne Routledge?
How well would Sigurdsson do alongside Sane & Sterling? Or Mane/Salah? I think he would do much better.
He isn't a ''Coutinho'' or a KDB is the sense that he will dribble past players.
But there is no a chance in hell those players can shoot, cross or pass like Sigurdsson. Both feet.
You people LOVE to criticize how slow Gylfi is, but you completely fail to acknowledge what he can do that those players cant.
Gylfi is slower, yes. But miles better than those players at heading, tackling, intercepting, man marking, being an extra body in the box.
Name a single Playmaker that could've shutdown Salah like Gylfi did?
The only moment Salah had in the derby was when Gylfi didn't mark him. Every other moment in the match Gylfi had him in his pocket.
Gylfi can play ST/CF/LW/RW/AM/CM/DM & defend as well as a fullback. That's pretty good for a weak/slow player.
He more than makes up for his lack of speed with his overall ability. I find it hilarious that some of you claim Eriksen is ''overall'' better when there probably has never existed a single player capable of shooting, crossing or passing on both feet as well as Sigurdsson.
Then you add on his defensive ability, his penalties, corners, free kicks & set pieces. His variety of roles & positions, lack of injuries, high football IQ.. It's a mismatch.
One failed backheel, and maybe 2-3 bad set pieces at best?
Ricky? Did you even read what I wrote?
I was praising Sig you dafty.
