Lush Vlad Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Quicker than Nunes and more of a defender. Gordon had Nunes on toast 2-3 times before tiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atrocious today The rest of my points still stand. A bit reductive to just put them changing how they played because of Gordon’s threat in behind. Murphy and Wissa first half were causing far more problems. Murphy was the game changer, clearly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Thought he was fine today. Doesn’t threaten the goal though, which could be an issue for us since nobody else does either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 He wasn't great but he was the only player looking to do something other than play a simple 5 yard pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he’s a wide forward his output has to be better - one defence, the way we play doesn’t help him The only pass he gets is when Hall is invented inside and he’s then out wide and nowhere near the opponents box - he isn’t going to provide any output from there I can’t remember a time when he made an inside run and we threaded a through ball to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonjam88 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Absolute garbage. Must be one of the easiest wingers to defend against. Don't show him down the left he will just turn back onto his right and pass backwards or run no where. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornah Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 A massive Homer (not homosexual) sparks up under the lights against the big lads, reverts to type when we need him in games like today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the way we are set up and our tactics in general - everyone in midfield and attack is struggling with them Gordon will always be scapegoated but it’s not as if Joe, Joe, Tonali, Ramsey, Murphy, Elanga, Wissa have pulled up any trees this season either We’ve gone away from a style that he was bought in to play within - he was very good when we were pressing and has had all his better games this season when we’ve played that way (Chelsea H) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he can only play in one system says he is not as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tactic is for him to receive the ball in the middle of the opposition half - right on the touchline - or play in a flat line of 5 when defending, what’s he supposed to do? Theres no identity to this team - it’s no wonder it’s a struggle this season - we play with the same pattern on each flank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a full back booked due to the rare time he does run at them then doesn’t bother doing it again the rest of the game. He looses the ball the dives over gaining injury while the rest of the team have to deal with the attack. It isn’t a coincidence he has now been taken off by Howe in the last few games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I thought he was probably our brightest attacker today. Thankfully, I've already got his card marked so it'll do nothing to budge my negative view of him. Get him sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I thought he was crap. But basically everyone was bar a few. Our away tactics would make prime Messi, Henry and Zidane look bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
