Football is an open, fluid game that lasts an hour and a half. It is impossible to gameplan solely around one player, unless you are playing in the park with Messi. It's even more ridiculous to claim that's what happens at all, ever, as some have been doing on here.
Very naive, and I can promise you Clement didn't instruct the team to check with Siggy before they dribble, pass, and shoot. It's being made out like no one but Siggy ever touches the ball, and everyone else just stands around waiting for his cue. It's also apparently his fault we have had so many one-dimensional bargain bin classics in our squad for so long. It's posing of the worst kind, and it's just lazy and vacuous. It's a great way to slate a footballer without actually saying anything of substance. So, allow me.
Yes, Siggy is phenomenal with a deadball, and intelligent and relentless in his pressing. But he doesn't just run around a lot and take free kicks. I've seen this on here so frequently (mostly emanating from res, but still) and it's always bbullsshitt, every time. Siggy lacks pace, of course. But it's not like he's John Terry, FFS. Either way, the rest of his game more than makes up for that.
He almost always finds/creates open space for himself and others with his intelligent movement; his technique is consistently damn-near perfect with both feet; he's got the vision to switch the play and find runners in behind the defence; the creativity to pull off flicks and backheels; great touch and accuracy with one-twos and link-up play; superb shot from distance and very good at tucking away chances.
I could keep going, but I think I've made my point. If anyone's interested, though, just ask. [Post edited 10 Aug 2017 5:42]

I'll just place this here.
Hopefully, one of the Siggy haters can find the confidence to actually come back with a football post, not some personality test about me or him.
We'll see. |  | | |

My point was not that it wasn't a relevant way of measuring 'value' but more that a poster that has on a number of occasions told everyone how boring the financial aspects of football are would not understand your post. And therefore, by making the point that your post was 'excellent', he was simply posturing as it seemed, to him, to be vaguely supportive of his own position.
As an aside, sports like baseball and cricket etc are probably better served by using mariginal utility to ascertain value. Football is more difficult as it's hard to tell how many points (which I assume is your suggestion) are directly earned by a single player, although many articles have attempted it before, as I'm sure you've seen. |
Ill place this here too. |  |

Sorry, I forgot, I have to make things very simple for you.
This thread is about Siggy, and I put some words up refuting your endless, droning bbullsshitt.
I already know you can't keep up, but you could try.
Either address them or move along. [Post edited 10 Aug 2017 21:02]

On the evidence of last season free kicks's and pressing were his only major strong points. His corner taking was atrocious and because of his role his creativity was limited. He is not, as I have said many times before as good as you make him out to be. |  |

Thanks for the civil response, Bryn.
I disagree with what you've said here, but appreciate your manner in doing so.
But, I'll go with your premise of "last season free kicks's and pressing were his only major strong points" no matter how much I disagree.
Why, exactly, do you think that was the case?
Is it Siggy who is one-dimensional, or the rest of the squad (especially last season)? | | | |

I was a bit bored so gave it a go. I did 4 in 5 minutes.
Then I ran out of bananas.
Missus is now creating because she fancies a banana, and is annoyed so definitely isn't interested in a banana shaped substitute.
You bastard, Spider. |  |

Why on earth did you have 26 bananas in the house?
Are you running a subsidiary of Fyffes?

I don't think Clement was very subtle in his press conference.
It was basically ffs, make a deal I want him out.
I'm a huge Siggy fan, but it's time to thank him and move on. | |

Koeman should really engage his brain before opening his mouth, has warned Spurs this morning they won't be held to ransom over Barkley, and they will have to pay "a big deal" to get him. Oh the irony! |  |

He has all the self awareness and tact of JVZ!
Put GS on the bench and give him the last 5 minutes at Southampton. F*Co Everton. I'd be minded to ring Leicester and tell them 41 million cash and he's yours, just to pee the scallies off. | |
