And his post match interview. Get a good pre season in him and a couple of years of top coaching and he'll be mint imo. Big fan of how he got himself in that position to score today too. Maybe he can play 3 positions and not just the two we thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sold to Man Utd for £1.25million in 1980 at a time when the world transfer record was £1.75million (Paolo Rossi to Juventus). So it's safe to say he was pretty decent.

Birtles flopped at Man U. Like our Eddie, Clough had the ability to get players and teams to perform above expectations. Sorry, digressing a bit.

He seems desperate to succeed which is great even though I think it’s been a limiting factor this season. He’s never played in a winning team. And he’s not physically at the level of the rest. He’s got a big frame for a wide man but he’s weak. He’s quick when he gets going but has poor stamina. He works hard but doesn’t know how to press effectively. If he sorts all of that out over the summer he’ll be a decent player. My one concern will always be that he doesn’t have that bit of magic all the top players do. But he can still be a good player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I think he'll be good for us next season. He's shown glimpses and that goal will do him good. A full pre-season behind him as well and he'll be an asset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 That goal yesterday will do wonders for his confidence and how he approaches pre-season. Same for Anderson and Miley getting minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Was a great honest interview from him. Felt a little sorry for him as it seems his confidence took a little knock after seeing the fitness of the rest of the group. Seems to have a fantastic attitude though and will be all guns blazing for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 The players are always better after pure coaching time with Howe. Not preparing for a specific game just time on the training pitch. We impose our style on players and thus most games. He’s got all the attributes to be a fantastic player. He’s looked pretty desperate to make a contribution and that has weighed on him. Hopefully he can kick on from this. Great interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I'd like to see Gordon utilised as a striker. I think he's got the tools to play there sitting on the defenders shoulder and using his pace to get in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
