No, i think people are trying to figure out what he does

What he seemed to do quite well was put it on the head of a striker who was good in the air,pity we never bothered getting one.

Is it that much to ask for him to be able to put it on the head of someone who’s 6ft instead of 6ft 4?

It's all in the extra inches....and if they can actually head the ball consistently .

He could at least try a through ball instead then I suppose.

Don't think he does variety.

What a quality operator he is...

We sign a playmaker who doesn't make any play for a club record fee - the most Everton thing imaginable.

Desperately want him to do well but I get the feeling he's just happy sitting on the last big contract of his career rather than put any effort in. There's a player there somewhere but god knows where exactly it is.

10 successful passes for an attacking midfielder against Huddersfield at home is pretty disgraceful.

I sense the tide has turned and patience is running out among the fans. Is this season his last chance with us?

Before our last two games it was the opposite. Our fanbase is so weird.

He must have bombarded Koeman’s Twitter DM’s with highlights reels and bar charts until he caved in.

Was when he started the pie charts that koeman started to cave

This from the report

"In 76 minutes, Sigurdsson hadn't dribbled past a defender, touched the ball in the box, or recorded a shot at goal. Furthermore, he'd completed just 10 passes - only one coming in the final third - with just one to his striker, Cenk Tosun.
For context, Everton had completed 328 passes during his time on the field, and Ademola Lookman completed more as a substitute"

For me this says it all. (n)

But, but he runs around (not very fast like) a lot lid.
