2019/20 Gylfi Sigurdsson

[joseph]

Can anyone explain what outstanding qualities he has? What makes him stand out from any other player in the squad? I have never seen the quality from him that was deserving of us splashing close to £50m on him, ever. Keep seeing ‘he covers the most ground’ like that’s something to shout and boast about but it’s really not. We spent £50m on a player to run around and do very little else?

I just think his signing has been pretty much pointless on the whole. Stood out in a team full of jobbers at Swansea, a club where he could probably get away with half arsed efforts and there were zero expectations.

Needs moving on in the summer.

Yes, to me he looks "a big fish in a small pond" type of player but will never make it at a bigger club where the levels of expectation are higher. Couldn't cut it at Spurs and hasn't been great here either. Robbie Savage used to run around a lot as well, like a headless chicken, but that didn't make him a good player.

Last season, played 38 league games, scored 13, with 6 assists. So, contributed a goal every other game, which is pretty good from midfield / #10, and for me would justify the price tag, if he did regularly.

This season though, he has been a waste of a shirt.

He doesn’t do it regularly though. For £50m those stats are a bare minimum requirement.

The likes of Ryan Fraser, Matt Ritchie and Ashley Westwood accounted more assists than him last season.

Yeah I agree, fact that he hasn’t contributed anything like that this season, means he has been a waste of a shirt.

Ritchie and Westwood didn’t throw in with many goals to go with their assists.

Fraser is a fair comparative shout with 7 goals, 14 assists, so slightly better than a goal every other game, and he was their fans’ player of the season with that return.

He’s not good enough.

I imagine once we have Gbamin and Gomes back he won’t figure much at all, expecting him to be sold in the summer

 

[MikeH72]

You mean he has got him playing better when you say he has him sussed, as the last two games he has played very well.

He hasn’t though.

Be interested to see what percentage of those stats are from his time at Everton and with set pieces being excluded.

 

[Pete Campbell]

He looks more and more done every time he plays

 

[Archie Knox]

Always comes off the pitch in the 94th minute with a perfectly parted a haircut as when he entered it 2 hours earlier. A sure sign that he isn't even bothered any more.

I don’t know how you use that font. Looks like a child has written it.

Let's hope Mr Iceland continues his excellent form and leads us like a champ to victory today

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Watching Sigurdsson is like watching a cruise ship slowly crash into small boats in a port.

 

[TrixyStevens]

Surely Ancelotti can see we need better than this spoofer. He’s atrocious.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He’s been alright. A couple of good steals up the field and a good feed to Seamus, but he is definitely not ideal without a ridiculously dominant midfielder alongside him.

Created our only chance?
