Go back to bed Michael
Still can't believe Walsh saw fit to put down 45 mil for this fella. Speechless
I wish I could.
Do you genuinely think he would have stayed if we had not pursued PVC pipe legs?
Who would buy him off us in the summer? Swansea if they stay up?
Newcastle maybe?
They really, really aren't.
And the one thing you can't question is his attitude.
Works and runs harder than anyone else in our team. Consistently.
He was poor yesterday - as they all were - but he tried to make things happen. He was always looking to be involved and that's more than you can say for most of our team.
We missed him defending because they just constantly attacked Martina's side, as Sigurdsson wasn't there to track back.
There's much bigger issues than Gylfi, who offers some genuine quality in the final third.
For me, hes our best player alongside Pickford.
Has immense quality on the ball; set piece delivery is superb as is his technique. Works harder than anyone in the team.
If you actually watch him off the ball you can see why he struggled yesterday.
Inevitably the ball from full back would go to Morgan/McCarthy who would then pass it back to the full back. They in turn would lump it forward or pass it back to Morgan/James. They would inevitably give the ball away or back to full back.
By then Siggy has gone from one position to another, to another. He has then had his full back to cover. Who cant pass it to him as he continually turns inside and by then the space Siggy is great at occupying is covered by the opposing team.
We need to build the team around him in my eyes.

He isn't useless - I've been the biggest whinger about this signing - but he isn't what we needed, doesn't suit our team and isn't good enough to build a team around.
Personally I'd play him in centre mid (where he plays for Iceland), and where his energy might be more productive rather than as the "spark of genius" up front.
