Incorrect. Merlin did give her lessons on Kingship but a large portion of her time was spent doing combat training. She trained while she was awake to the point where Sir Kay commented that she defied belief and he didn't know that Merlin was training her while she slept. She's stated many times to be a top-tier swordsman and it's not hard to understand why.

Her fighting Kojiro actually does involve her Master as her physical abilities were being limited by him (shown by her sharp drop in stats while under Shirou). And speaking of her physical abilities, they're not far behind Sigurd's to begin with and Mana Burst pushes that even further. Also, if luck plays a part in their fight (and with a fight between two people who are about equal it almost certainly will) Sigurd is at a major disadvantage.

I'm not saying the difference is like comparing Enkidu to Angra but she's not called the strongest Saber Class Servant in multiple places (SN, Zero, Strange Fake, world materials are the ones that jump to mind) for no reason. She's definitely not useless without her Noble Phantasms like some have suggested and she's definitely not getting stomped by just about anybody
