StevO Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 One game in and people are on Gylfi’s back already? Wow! its too early to be giving anyone grief yet. Gylfi has one good chance, I’d expect him to score it but due to his own high standard. markjazzbassist, Bailey and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say the same; you don't drop a player, particularly one of your best, after one bad game played in a force 8 gale.

He doesn't get on the ball enough, not his fault he just doesn't have the attributes for the role he's being asked to do. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending if Iwobi is up for the role Silva wants from the AM I'd try Sigurdssen on the left with Digne being his legs on the overlap. Would get Sigurdssen on the ball more, he's got the ability for the one twos and vision to find a pass to the middle if it's on. DCL wins a lot in the air too so would be a good option to pick out with the long ball. If Iwobi isn't up for pressing AM role I'd change the system completely as it doesn't work with the players we've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought you’d say put him next to Gomes I'd give Sigurdssen a go as out of the two of them I think Bernard deserves to be dropped more. As much as Bernard can be a joy to watch at times he just doesn't have the end product and is sometimes guilty of playing in his comfort zone too. Ideally you could get the machine from The Fly and splice the two of them together. Against lower teams Sigurdssen could have a go on the middle but with him being quite a reactive player I'd be worried about him defensively.

Finn balor Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 A lot of these problems would be easily sorted if we had a striker that can score. Sometimes it’s that simple. Look at spurs last night Gwlad, Shukes and StevO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 If Silva is ever going to drop Siggy (which I can't see coming any time soon) then I would hope we would just get rid of the 10 position completely and not just put someone else in there. It's just a waste and adds no real tactical advantage (assuming the player could play as well in midfield). pete0, Matt and plaidharper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gbamin replaces Gana Kean replaces DCL, so who does Iwobi replace Bernard I don’t think so even though he could, I don’t think Silva would want to breakup the pairing of him and Digne, I see him replacing Gylfi even if he does play a different role and not an out and out number 10.

Bill Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Could play Iwobi out wide and play Bernard in the Middle. I'm just saying that you could, but its not what I would do. Matt and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been strong at the back for a while - Mina coming in is the only question mark for me right now. Completion for Coleman will hopefully keep him at his upper levels. Its not to be more attacking but to allow Bernard and richarlison to stay higher and get more of the ball in the final third as Gylfi just isn’t getting on it enough. Hopefully force him onto it deeper! Deacs and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Marco Silva confirmed Andre Gomes missed Sunday's clash against Bournemouth with a rib injury, adding that the Club will "have to see day to day" when the midfielder will return. The Portugal midfielder suffered the injury towards the end of the 3-2 win over Wolves at Goodison two weeks ago. Silva said: "He [Gomes] felt something after the Wolves match. He tried to work during the week but in the last days he felt it again. "It's the ribs. It's something we will have to see day by day how he recovers from that situation. What we want to do is get him ready as fast as we can. Him being out is a big miss and a kick in the ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 We need him back and on form. I think he and Delph looked impressive in the one game they played together, throw in Gbamin’s physical presence and that’s a midfield 3 that can really dominate a game.
