Apart of the leadership team according to Waugh. 

 

 

Leadership team status just seems to be awarded to anyone who wants to stay here regardless of whether they are good enough. We were trying to find roles for Matt Ritchie and Paul Dummett at one point.

He is having a good game, really effective for his level and cannot expect any more from him.

Harvey on and gordon to the right after 60 mins

 

You think? Personally think he's been shite! His most noticeable contribution was blocking Isaks goal bound attempt.

When he’s got the ball wide right he has an incredible knack of placing himself at the worst possible angle to cross or pass to a team mate.

 

 

 

His biggest talent

Love him as a squad option but I don't get why he starts ahead of Barnes, unless there's a fitness issue we don't know about. Today was one of the days where he stood out like a sore thumb for his lack of consistent quality.

I really do wonder what he offers when he's probably the 'worst' of the wingers. 

 

He can have very useful moments but he's ultimately limited in possession and not amazing at pressing or tracking. It feels like you could justify his inclusion if he was world class at one thing but he's nowhere near it, outside of having a canny early cross at times.

 

I'd maybe understand it more against 'big teams' if he's good at following tactical instructions or something, but surely a weakened Brighton at home means you can go for it more from the off.

Far too many attacks broke down because of him today. Said it before but he's a good squad player to have but we MUST upgrade on him in January. It's painfully obvious he's a weak link.

Yeah. He started alright. But he often wanted an extra touch and just slowed everything down, let Brighton players get back and then he’d just pass back inside, anyway. 
 

Complete failure of the club and/or Howe that he is still starting games at RW and Almiron seems to be the second choice. He’s no better.

I haven't even looked at any comments today but how is this bloke getting on the pitch before Barnes?  I don't honestly understand it.

Barnes is useless on the right to be fair. Excellent finisher but he’s a very limited player. Why RW has consistently been passed over as priority position is beyond me.

I’m still convinced that you could make Barnes have a Pedro style role of basically last shoulder on the right side cutting in behind and he’d be useful. Shoot on sight.

Yeah it’s mental 3 years into the takeover and we’re still having Murphy on the RW ffs

Howe won’t do it and I think he sulks when he plays there. But why not move Gordon to the right? When he gets in behind, his cutbacks and crosses should be a lot better. Plus he might seem more interested in getting to the byline and not just cutting in. 
 

Even if it takes something away from Gordon’s game and the team as a whole. Nobody can convince me Barnes on the bench and Murphy or Almiron on the right is the better option.
