alexf Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Thought he was really poor in his cameo, kept making poor decisions or losing the ball. But then made up for it when he did that burst through the middle and laid it perfectly for Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 He definitely made the wrong decision a couple of times but I thought he was really bright when he came on and, with Maxi about spent, looked our most likely source of a goalscoring chance (as proved to be the case). I like his quick feet and have been impressed with the way he manoeuvres his body to open up space or a passing opportunity. Would've been a canny assist had Wilson put that golden chance away.

Newcastle Fan Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Good option to bring from the bench, second time now Wilson wastes his chance of an assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The burst through the middle wasn't as easy as it looked to create the chance. So many times changes like that end up being nothing. Great play. One on one taking on players he failed a couple times which was frustrating. I think he will be good for us.

gbandit Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 That run was great, he did everything right, ran with it for the perfect distance and a great pace and released it with the right weight to the right person. In a way it seems simple but Gordon is clearly extremely good at doing the simple stuff well, which tons of footballers struggle with. His pace and understanding of how to link in with players is going to be massive for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Now the cup final is done, hopefully we’ll get to see this lad get a good run in the team. Looking forward to seeing how he settles in over the next couple of months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Think he looks bright, but having every player running into the middle of the defence just feels bad to me. I’m sure Targett will come back in now, so we’ll see what happens. I equally think you could let Trippier play inside like City’s fullbacks and play Gordon on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 We are following the Liverpool route in transfers I think, rather than the Arsenal approach. Liverpool have been sticking to their targets, if they can’t get them they’ll move on and not sign someone else in that position. So they get Gakpo but no CMs. Arsenal identify positions and are willing to go down their list. Gordon - is a target we rated at a price we were happy with so we got him. My issue is him being a rated target in the first place. But after that, I’m fine with the strategy but realise it can leave the squad with gaps.
