Gylfi Sigurdsson was given the privilege of captaining Everton against Chelsea on Sunday but an uninspired display all round lead to a 4-0 hammering.

The Iceland international encapsulated the dire nature of the Toffees' performance as he didn't create a single chance and made just two passes to the attacking final third.

As an attacking midfielder it is his responsibility to act as the creative force, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison had just one clear cut chance between them, and that came due to a mistake from Chelsea's Kurt Zouma.

Unsurprisingly, fans reacted to the match by aiming criticism in Sigurdsson's direction, as a lot more is expected of the 30-year-old due to his £45m transfer fee and reported weekly wage of £100,000 a week.

It will be interesting to see what Carlo Ancelotti makes of the midfielder's performances and if he makes changes to the team as a result, either with other players in his squad or with signings in the summer.

At the very least, the Italian boss needs to do something to bring about an improvement in Sigurdsson's performances, as he has contributed just one goal and two assists in the league this term.

However, and possibly because of his poor goal return, many fans are now fed up with the Icelander and are keen for him to be sold, despite him often being one of the first names on the teamsheet.
