Gordon scores and creates goals. That's my whole point. Willock does the hard work and then more often than not, fails to finish it off with something meaningful.

Please check his stats.

Willock has more goal involvements than Gordon though

Willock last night when he just opened up and put on the burners couldn’t be played against. 
 

Shame he couldn’t keep his head over the ball twice.

The same can be said for Adama Traore in every game he's ever played

According to whatever site i've just looked at, Willock has 2 goals and 2 assists this season, in a team challenging for Champions League places.

Gordon has 3 goals and 0 assists in a team rooted to the bottom of the table. It's hardly chasm between them.  All of Willock's stats are skewed by that one purple patch he had when he first joined the club.

And if you take it purely on stats, you ignore all of the things he didn't do when he should've, like score two goals last night and bag an assist as well (the things you see with your eyes). Stats only explain part of the picture. If Willock added end product to his game, he'd finish every season with goals and stats in double figures. There's a reason he doesn't.

 

I should add that I don't dislike Willock by the way, we just need better. We also have a guy sat on the bench who terrifies defenders and will get double figures if he's ever allowed to start.
