Away Toon Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 There were lots of good performances tonight but ASM noticeably did nothing again when he came on and Almiron is regressing at almost the same speed as he improved earlier this season. Gordon is going to be starting very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is a genuine question or a commentary on our Jan business But not really, no. Closest he has come to that is playing as a 10 behind a striker, so could potentially be used there in a 4-2-3-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey47 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I understand this might sound ridiculous but I’ve just seen this video of Neymar on Twitter and it really reminded of all the highlight videos I’ve been watching of Gordon. Based on that alone I can say with 99% confidence that Gordon is gonna be world class. He’s already as good as Neymar at diving *half trolling half serious but did honestly see similarities in the two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I think this signing has gone under the radar in how transformational could be for us. Winger who gonna press and be able to offer all the qualities Willock does defensively but an extra edge up top that someone like ASM gives us. Also, said this before but he reminds me of Heung-min Son. Edited February 1, 2023 by Thumbheed Eillock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a change of environment. Everything is better for him at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Can see Gordon starting on the left with Bruno's injury, moving Joelinton to the middle with Longstaff + Willock. We're going to miss Bruno badly. I think the best we can do is try to bypass our midfield when playing out from the back and look to play through Trippier. Joelinton can carry the ball through the middle, but Longstaff and Willock are both poor on the ball when pressed. I can see us playing a bit deeper and playing on the break more as a result of this. Maxi should look good when he comes because of this change. Isak will be instrumental in retaining possesion and moving the team forward in transition.

HawK Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 No surprise to be honest, the out-of-possession similarities to Almiron are plain as day, and Benitez had to move heaven and earth to get Almiron in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 In hindsight it's baffling to think of some of the wingers Rafa bought considering the workrate he wants from them. It should have been obvious from the start that Babel and Pennant were never going to put in the graft of someone like Kuyt or Kewell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
