Whitley mag Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 He’s got the lot size, pace, great shot and gets his head up. An upgrade on Almiron, Murphy and St Max will be a big player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Not sure if I'm describing it correctly, but he looked a lot calmer and assertive than I was expecting compared to the games I've seen him play for Everton. Did his face somehow turn a bit less rat like during the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Get him on pitch with Bruno and they’ll be purring. He’s bloody quick and he’s very confident and decisive in his movements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Without doing too much slithering around , I thought he looked much less of a cunt in the black and white ? His confidence,movement and touch look like exactly what we need. Can't wait to see him link up with Bruno and Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Quite a few aspects of his game yesterday reminded me of HBA. The raw pace, natural dribbling ability, quick/accurate first-time passing. And he appears to work really hard out of possession, and is big and physical. In summary, potentially the best player in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave s Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 looks like he’s got an eye for a defence splitting ball.. we need this, teams are parking the bus against us now, we have to break them down and find the runners. Trust in Eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Everything he did, he did with intent and decisiveness. The confidence to take one touch and then play a pass at speed and move. He will link up with Bruno great. He instantly started to play off Big Joe a few times. It looked like he'd been here longer than Maxi the way he integrated. Excited to see more...Hopefully he starts next game. I'd go Gordon, Wilson, Isak - left to right. Almiron's right foot issue is boiling my blood now.

I'm sure you can kick a ball with your wrong foot if you use it everyday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was almost unanimously agreed everyone here thought he was a great player and good all around fellow and value for the money. There could have been the odd bloke who called him a rat faced cunt I'll concede. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Just watching the highlights again, fuck that was such a class through ball for Wilson. Took me by surprise when it happened. Love the quick passing you see from the players we've acquired over the last 12 months. Trippier, Bruno, Botman, all love a quick pass; very much conjures a yao smiley when Jonjo Shelvey has allegedly been our best passer here for the last however many years. Looks like we've another one in Gordon, and that's promising at 21 cos it takes a real football brain to see opportunities like that. Pity about Wilson's shite first touch which lost him that microsecond to enable the tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others have said, Gordon gives us another excellent option, is rapid, seems to have a really good awareness, and can't be a total shithouse if needed.

M1tche Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Wasnt a massive fan of this signing, but could kind of see how he would fit it. That said its safe to say that is not the impact i was expecting him to have, if he can keep that up then he's going to be soo much better than i expected.

Bossman Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I'll decide by the end of the season. Until then in Eddie we trust but it's still Catts for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitude20 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 since he can’t play the final as he is cup tied, I am guessing he won’t start any league match before that final. Eddie might want to keep the starting XI fresh and sharp for that game, and Almiron and ASM will be the likely starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Gordon starts next game, without question and I have to believe Howe feels the same. ASM will be an impact sub the rest of his time here and I can see him going to a club like Palace or back to Ligue 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The only question for me is if he can get the numbers. Not worried about his workrate or attitude or busy-ness. Can Eddie give him a cutting edge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll also work very well with Bruno and Isak with their movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
