Our best player again. Honestly dont know what game pleople were watching. Some were probably gutted when he scored.
Fair enough. What did he bring to the game in his overall play that made him standout?
Unfortunately for him I think he's going to have to play a bit deeper. It's still a major concern that our inability to defend is matched by our woefullness at passing the ball through midfield. I just hope this Gomes lad is capable of it.
He did that yesterday and got legged by mark noble and a kid who's actually a defender by trade.
Our central midfield/ number 10 needs a good overhaul over the next 12 months
I thought he could play centre midfield, box to box as he has the fitness...was shown up massively yesterday.
For the life of me, i cant see what he brings to the team and also now cant understand what he did at swansea...
Nobody came out of that game looking good but at least he has the ability to pass the ball. There isn't anyone else unless Gomes can do it. Every player put there is failing in that position.
Pass the ball yes, but hes not incisive and there is no playmaking ability there and limited effectiveness on the ball...
Would stick Bernard in the No. 10 role in a heartbeat. You can count on one hand the number of times that Siggi has been our best player and controlled the game for us. I don't care if he does a lot of running - that should be a normal thing not something to highlight with a PL player.
Has he really ever been the best player on the pitch or have we been fooled by his price tag? Looking back i cant remember a game where he was top class...
I like siggy. When the rest of the team involve him you can see he has class sometimes that class looks like garbage because players around him are not really on his wave length. We have forwards that find it hard to create space and lose a player therefore what can siggy do? He does get caught out when he is looking at our players not moving for him. He is a bright spot this season and I highlight again that his transfer fee is making him a bit of a scapegoat on here. Look beyond prices of players and you see he has been one of our better players. He is not there to control a game he is there to mainly bring other players into the game but those other players are not helping him. If we had savvy strikers Siggy could have a field day. He is one of the few I would keep hold of and is a mainstay of our team.....there are only a few and he is one of them.
As a 'mainstay' and lets call this a transitional season, he'll be 30 next season so what you see is what you get.
He doesnt appear to have the ability to playmake nor make one touch passes/throughballs to the wider forwards...whats the effectiveness he brings?
Bernard made time stop a couple of moves yesterday...thats the mark of a top player...ive never seen Sigurdsson do that...hes reactive.
