markjazzbassist Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 iwobi was played on the left, he came on for bernard. as always gylfi is the scape goat. gomes and morgan were getting run through, but it's gylfi fault. DCL couldn't score open goals but it's gylfis fault. i would have like to have seen gomes go for iwobi and dcl go for kean and then see how gylfi does with some players around him that arent static, but as always he will be blamed for global warming next probably.

Iwobi was all across the front line. No one is blaming Gylfi for the others failing, but doesn’t absolve him of his ineffectiveness the last few games.

Finn balor Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Gilfi is in the team to create chances and score goals. In the three matches he hasn’t come close to that. If he’s not producing he needs to be dropped and that applies to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Gylfi is completely out of sorts at the moment he’s either not happy or Silva’s tactics don’t suit him, but what ever is going on it’s causing him to play very poorly, and he missed a sitter against Palace as bad as DCL and Walcott for 3 points.

Finn balor Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Perhaps I missed his effort against palace aswell? The fact is he is our record signing and was bought to make a difference in tight games. He isn’t doing that and I don’t think he should be guaranteed a shirt. It was good to see him getting the hook last night Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gylfi looked very static and I rarely saw him contribute much. he did create a couple of things but was very rarely involved in the game. touched the ball 37 times in an hour (Bernard did much less and didn't really seem to be making the movement and showing for it in a game where their sat back and he's in the perfect position to make things happen. Both he and Gomez were guility of not contributing effectively to create things around the edge of the box. Personally I thought Iwobi looked more lively when he came on and i'd like to see him get a start in the middle in the league cup and if he plays well then he should start in the next league game. Kean should also start in the league cup and if they work well then they should both be starting at the weekend. We looked a lot more dynamic and created more in the box when they were on.

Was wondering how well he would do in the middle for us the other day. I'm not sure if Silva has this in his plans though as I think he said he would be purchased to play on the left.

FairWooney Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I think he’d Be open to him playing in the middle and I’m sure he’s been mentioned as such in the past as an extra option to Sig. I think he looked like he’d do better there than on the wing to be honest and if we had a front 4 of Bernard, Richarlison, iwobi and Kean then I think that would give us plenty of quick movement going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 If we go to 4-3-3 gilfi would have to play in the middle three. Gomes, Morgan/jpg, Delph or gilfi. That leaves Bernard, charly,kean, Iwobi, DCl for three spots. That should spur everyone on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Looked better in patches tonight (like the team really). His run and cross in the build up to Iwobi’s goal is what we need to see more of - involvement. nyblue23 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Sigurdsson seemed to be a bit more motivated and involved against Lincoln, albeit sporadically. Looking forward to see him running on all four cylinders again pretty soon. We have a few players a little off-kilter at the minute; if we can get the pieces to fall into position it would make a world of difference, and we'd see a completely different Everton.

Bailey Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Did he not just look a bit better because he was playing against lesser players? Maybe it was because he had Kean alongside him instead? He was certainly more involved, and was good when he dropped deeper but I'm not holding my breath.

Finn balor Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think with the introduction of Iwobi who kind of roams in those dangerous central areas it allows gilfi to step out a bit wider and get some quality delivery into the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone’s is simply screaming for him to get involved or a system to force him to get involved because when he does get on the ball it’s normally quality.

markjazzbassist Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 where i differ is that i don't believe that is his fault. when a CF isn't getting service we don't blame them, we blame the midfield. i saw him do the same things at Lincoln he does every week. Tries to put balls int he box for others to run onto, tries 1-2's, and presses from the front. the only difference this time was the result of the people on the other end of those balls namely the hockey assist he had for the goal.

I just want more from him. My pet peeve with him is when our CM’s have it with a compact team in front and he sits central in front marked out the game - he is not only taking himself out the game but also the ball into the CF’s feet. In this situation he needs to move sharply 5 yards either side, open that channel then move towards the CF for the sharp lay off and either look to shoot or feed a winger making a third man run. Football is simple really. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 He certainly played out wide on the right a lot more. He and Richarlison kept swapping positions to get him more involved in the game. While his crossing out there is quality, I doubt he’d be getting the same amount of time and space against premier league level full-backs though.

He doesn’t need time or space to do something incredible though - ask Maddison from Leicester! Just get on the ball more and make things happen.

As our most expensive player he has needed to do more and create more. On Sunday he did that. Was it the change in formation that allowed him to get into those pockets out wide?
