Brendan Rodgers was full of praise for Gylfi Sigurdsson after he was named Barclays player of the month<\/p>\n
“He’s very much in the Frank Lampard mould,” said Rodgers.<\/p>\n
“If you look at him, he gets into the six-yard box, he’s willing to get his shot off and he can go right foot or left foot.<\/p>\n
“And he can score with his head like he did at Fulham.<\/p>\n
“He’s a goal-scoring midfielder and you don’t get too many of those.<\/p>\n
“He is still very young but he is a player that at this level can do very well.<\/p>\n
“He’s also got the same hunger as Frank. Frank was always a player who always wanted to get better every single day.<\/p>\n
“He’s got that instinct. It’s something that he was born with, but it’s also something he works very hard at.<\/p>\n
“It’s not by accident, he works very hard at it and you can’t tell which is his stronger foot.<\/p>\n
“Gylfi and Scott Sinclair have great competitions every day on their shooting and their finishing.<\/p>\n
“They’ve got a wonderful camaraderie there but it’s also competitive.<\/p>\n
“He’s been a wonderful acquisition to the club.<\/p>\n
“I knew what I would be getting and he has come in and delivered brilliantly. Let’s hope he can keep it up until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
“The award is a great honour for him and shows the level the team have been at.<\/p>\n
“His six months here will open the eyes of people but I can’t worry about that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
