Playing very well indeed. Typical that his corners look great here yet were crap for us most of the time.

Can definitely play a little deeper in the midfield 3.

I don't think we want him to, though. It's fine on this team, but they pack it in most of the game.

I sometimes wonder if the edge of the pitch is an issue at Goodison, i sit in the cover and when you look at the pitch it slops down, so when you take a free kick at the start of the run up your feet can be lower then the ball unless you go from an odd angle along the side line, it cant help
 


How much would Gerrard go for these days? How much would you have paid for him?

504 PL apps, 120 goals & 71 assists across 17 PL seasons. 32 penalty goals.

That's 26.6%. Gerrard averaged 7 goals per PL season with penalties.

Without penalties Gerrard averaged 29.5 matches per season, 5 goals & 4 assists.

Sigurdsson at his worst scored 4 goals & created 4 assists in 27 matches.

It would've been 10+ goals if he took penalties, and easily 10+ assists if DCL weren't at the end of those chances.



£45 million for a prime Gerrard in today's market would be a bargain. Imagine a slower/weaker Gerrard with better crossing, passing and of course with a left foot.

Now lets call out @nsno-chris, @sageyefc, @mikeh72, @Connor & whoever else is silly enough to not rate him.

Name a single player throughout history that is more both footed than Sigurdsson?

Go ahead, I dare you. You wont because you cant. And even if you miraculously did, add set pieces too. There has never been a player like him before.

Combine his both footed passing, crossing & shooting inside & outside the box and there isn't a single player that comes close.

Then add his defending, variety of roles & positions, longevity, work rate, vision & intelligence.

Imagine if Ronaldo, Messi, Bale, Neymar, Salah or anybody else were able do this with their weak foot?



He outperformed £144 million Coutinho in every PL season while at Swansea, how is £45 million too much?

Connor you were ''screaming'' over me using stats from 6 years ago, yet you'll probably use Coutinho's first half of last season as an excuse for his pricetag.

So what was Sigurdsson worth at 22 years old when he did the exact same thing except marginally more impressive?

7 goals & 5 assists in 18 PL matches - Gylfi Sigurdsson at 22 years old

Naturally @nsno-chris, @sageyefc, @mikeh72 & @Connor will refuse to acknowledge any of this, and their subsequent silence is them admitting defeat.


You are taking them to the cleaners my friend, keep up the good work.
 
Iceland Sigurdsson - looks a 45 Million pound player.

Everton Sigurdsson - looks a 4.5 Million pound played.

I think the difference is that one team is built around him, while the other team threw him into a disjointed inverted winger role with no real plan besides play it slow and sideways (Koeman) or boot in long (BFS).
