OptimusSlime Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I’m confident Gordon is going to have a strong season. I have faith that the club know better than me on football (which wasn’t the case under previous regimes). His physical attributes seem well suited to our intensity style, once he gets himself in the physical shape Howe demands. Should he have a good season and end up on the fringes of the England squad - £40m will quickly look like a great deal. “Like a new signing”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - Howe always said he wanted him and I trust that. Will be interesting to see where he gets played the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I reckon we might see him on instead of Maxi, move big joe back into the middle with bruno and tonali. ———————pope——————— trips——scar———botman——-burn (other) ———————tonali——_—————— ————-bruno————Joe————- miggy (other)——-isak———-ASM (gordon) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSelecta Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Willock missing in a lot of people’s hypothetical first 11s. He was fantastic last season, a great problem for Howe to have and suggests we maybe don’t need another purple in midfield? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also means say Tonali plays a champions league fixture then Longstaff comes in for the league fixture a few days later, just allows greater rotation. Or vice versa etc Edited July 1, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Willock scored 3 goals in 35 starts last season which is poor for an attacking midfielder. If he doesn't do better this season he'll be on the bench more often than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I just see so much potensial in Willock.. The guy is still young. Was a great attacking threat with his pace. Had some nice assists too. If he gets his shooting sorted, he will be massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave s Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Love Willock, brings us so much even if he’s not scoring. That pass to Isak in the spurs game was outrageous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) With Longstaff, Willock, Joelinton, Bruno, Tonali and even Anderson competing for 3 places and us being in 4 different competitions now I think we'll rarely see our perceived "best 11" playing at the same time this season due to rest/rotation, tactics for specific teams and injuries. Willock & Longstaff are coming off good seasons but aren't in many peoples best 11, but they'll play a lot regardless.

Mazzy Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 2 hours ago, HawK said: Probably our most underrated player, those percentiles are nuts. The middle third shows just how much of a "carrier" he is rather than a passer. Very similar to Joelinton in that respect. The blocks being so high is interesting aswell, is that blocking of shots or is that blocking of any pass or cross? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The nerdy Athletic Tactics podcast that has Michael Cox on said back in Feb that Willock would be perfect as the new Gini in Liverpool's midfield. He was the first name they mentioned. +1 to the opinion that he's better shooting, maybe just more hit-the-target shooting like Isak, from being elite.

Really we should let Liverpool have him because we don't have a ceiling and they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
