Everton’s hopes of playing in Europe next season are near enough impossible following this afternoon’s defeat to Wolves at Molineux.
The Toffees were well beaten 3-0 by the west Midlands outfit, meaning they slip to nine points adrift of the top seven with just three games left to play this season.
Raul Jimenez found the net from the spot early in the first half and the home side never looked back with Leander Dendoncker and substitute Diogo Jota piled on the misery during the final 45 minutes.
Has there been a worse signing for Everton than Gylfi Sigurdsson?
No way!
Maybe...
Much of the Goodison Park faithful watched the match from home and many were left absolutely fuming with the performance from £45m club-record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson.
He had a shambolic afternoon in the middle of the pitch, failing to record a single key pass or accurate cross, lost possession 11 times and was dribbled past on four occasions, via SofaScore.
The Everton fanbase blasted the £20m-rated playmaker for being a “fraud” as well as a waste of space whilst one supporter brandished him a “lazy, heartless coward”.
Here’s the rest of the reaction…
That's a great screen grab. How would the fraud defend himself if he saw it ?

A picture paints a thousand words.. This guy has been conning his wages for a long time.

Spotted it straight away Li. Absolutely pathetic.

Captures the perfect issue with him. Shirks his responsibilities by not wanting the ball and letting others take it on. Further issue the majority don’t want the ball either. Waste of space, time and money.

Wouldn’t mind never ever ever ever seeing Sigurdsson in an Everton shirt again

Davies and Sigurdsson, not fit to wear the shirt. #efc #bbcfootball

Sigurdsson is the worst signing in our history

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Sigurdsson sweat, the lazy heartless coward

Sigurdsson has been the worst signing in Everton’s history, and that’s saying a lot. Absolute fraud of a footballer.

50 million we paid for a traffic cone in the middle of our midfield.

😡😡😡😡😡😡 this winds me up so much! He should the getting the ball, turning and making a pass. A forward one at that!

As soon as I saw the line-up we were in trouble.
Digne, best player going forward in the last game in a back 3?
Keane, Davies & Walcott to cover the Right, not a good tackle between them and Keane would be more worried about the centre that any L winger or full back attacking, Davies just covers space or puts his foot in late and Walcott doesn’t cover back where was Sidibe (or Coleman who can play as a back 3) as the Right defence or R Mid? Sigurdsson to run the midfield, biggest joke in our team, backs out of tackles player drift past him and certainly can’t defend?
Poor Baines starting forward of Digne, should have been the other way around as part of the back 4, not 3. Gordon having to cover Sigurdsson.
How about:
Pickford
Baines, Mina (Brathwaite), Keane, Coleman
Digne, Gordon, Holgate, Sidibe
Richarlison, DCL
Get the players who want to be there playing and ditch the Dross????????
