2019/20 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[Blue Roo]

We must define 'box-to-box' much, much differently. For starters, it's a very visible role. Where would he hide?

Beyond that, he's the anchor forcing Silva's hand and limiting us to the much-maligned 4-2-3-1. Probably lost on you since you're clearly a Gylfi superfan, but it's not a coincidence that we played a 4-3-3 - Silva's documented preferred formation - the majority of the past 2 matches, and the ball actually moved quickly around the pitch.

In what your saying, have you considered that Silva may have just used Gylfi as his scapegoat in all this.

no, they’re both useless, clueless gobshites who need to be punted

preferably the Icelandic tit first

Walcott always gets chances (which he usually misses...) and gives us more balance as a team. He also stretches opponents with his pace and gives them something to think about.

For me a Walcott performing well makes us a much better side.

“Performing well” that’s the problem , he doesn’t do it very often. You can say any player “ playing well “ makes us better as they are all prem league players. I like the Theo that turned up against westham , but I haven’t seen him for about season before

Whoever the next manager is, they need to make phasing him out a priority.

just bumping the Gylfi hate thread to the first page again

They finished 17th in his last season there. They were at their peak around 2012/13, after Sigurdsson signed they were on a gradual decline from that point.

Fair play. Hazy memory.
Although thought the brief time him and Bony were together they were decent.
Nevertheless consider myself reprimanded.

Gylfi = dumpster juice

The team's culprit and will be the reason Silva is sacked

Thank you for introducing me to the term 'dumpster juice.'

I see that silva resisted his Gylfi impulse today. Well done.

 

[Tubey]

Best game he's had in months.

Thanks for not playing

 

[Jim Hopper]

Finally found a working system he plays well in.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Missed him tonight.

Looks like Silva rested him tonight so he's nice and fresh to start against Spurs.
