Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has defended Gylfi Sigurdsson after the midfielder came in for criticism for his performance in Monday’s defeat at Tottenham. Ancelotti, however, was keen to move on from the Tottenham disappointment and absolved Sigurdsson from being singled out for blame. I didn’t see that he didn’t put a tackle in,” said the Italian, ahead of Thursday’s visit of Southampton. “We are going to try to improve the squad for the next season but now is not the time to judge. This season we are closer to the bottom and next season we would like to be more close to the top.”PA Media
