Nar bruv, we dont need our midfielders to score goals, we have Iwobi and Gordon, the running Kings, who needs goals?

Christ, yeah, who needs any of that final third production, massively overrated that.
Gordon has scored more open play goals this season than Sigurdsson did in either of his previous two seasons.
Iceland has 8 goals and 8 assists in his last 2 seasons my friend, Gordon wont score that many in his whole career.
And yes, ive ignored the open play part, due to the fact that football is a sport played in open play and also a considerable amount of set pieces, I refuse and will not exclude a vital aspect of football cos it doesnt fit my agenda.
LOL at people trying to rewrite Sigurdsson’s career. One tiny silver lining from this season has been not having to look at him stain our captain’s armband. I can just as easily make the case that we’ve missed Tom Davies, we were doing fine even this season until he went out the team.
I reckon we should let Gordon take our pens next season and see how many he ends up with then.
If we are in League One due to sanctions, yes.
I will bet you a lot of money that he finishes his Everton career with a better record than Sigurdsson.
Tom Davies has never made an impact on any game hes played.
So I wish you well.
BUT, I think we have missed him at times, he does a decent job at shielding the defence.
I'm not saying Sigurdsson was brilliant by any means, but the obsession with ignoring set plays is extremely weird
We were great at set pieces last year and have been pretty terrible this year. A lot of that is because our delivery has been nowhere near as good. The standard of the corners that Gray and Gordon put in has drove me mad this year.

Player Valuation: £90m
He didn't do enough midfielder things to really be called that though. He didn't tackle, didn't defend, he didn't contribute to build up in deeper areas. He spent a large portion of his time here as a second striker, and when he did play midfield he was even worse.
Neither has that field goal kicking fraud.
Yeah most of our midfieldera don't do those things. The difference is they don't create or score either.
The only difference between him and Alli is that Lampard would’ve felt obliged to pick him because he was arbitrarily given the vice captaincy by Dunc or someone.
Compare to some of the best players who are/have played for the top teams, how do the stats stand up?
