sushimonster85 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Where do people see Gordon playing this season. I think given his choice he'd probably prefer to play on the left, but I imagine Barnes will at least start the season there. In for Almiron on the right maybe?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Was thinking this too, in other circumstances I could seem him playing the left 8, but we already have like 4 blokes for that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Need to get my head around having more than one decent player in each position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 His movement and final pass to Miggy for the goal was outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Watched the match this morn and he looks full of ideas at the moment. Love that he got 20 mins up front during the second half and Isak switched out. Those in-match rotations (which are actually natural rather than forced) could really help us if we can keep the majority relatively fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’d start him on the right and see if he can nail down the position for himself. He’s not going to be on the left and he’s probably not ready for an attacking midfield role even though I think he’ll slip into that role at times off the wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Almost certain Miggy will start on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes is an out and out winger, and Willock has been quality on the left hand side and bombing it down to the penalty area in seconds. I think Gordon’s game is very balanced. Fairly sure he’s got it in him to play both wings well and in the long-term I could see him playing a roaming role. Did he not play more on the right for Everton than on the left?

gbandit Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Not a huge number of games at the early stage of someone’s career but difficult to say what the plans are him for at this point I’d say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Is it a fair comment to say that Anthony Gordon and Joe Willock are quite similar in what they bring to the team? Direct running, goal threat, laying on assists, breaking from midfield etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover me from head to toe in eggs if he helps us win something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Some people make it sound as if there were plenty on here who said that he will never make it, ever. From what I remember it wasn’t quite like that. Looks promising so far this preseason and hopefully he can deliver this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is becoming a bigger issue with 5 subs as we can now use it as a team strength rather than a weakness. "They want a quick game... Let's give them a quick game!"

STM Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'm certain Gordon will start the season. It will be Barnes who will have to break into the side. If you are Gordon, Barnes, Miggy or Murphy, you can't afford a dip in form but it's a brilliant situation for Howe that he can bring a player in to rejuvenate our attack.

Wolfcastle Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Great problems to have. Strength in depth has arrived, in that department at least. Its a cop out but the amount of games, the amount of subs, starting doesn't mean all that much now, a matter of who gets the lion share of the game this game/week.

OCK Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Never doubted this fella at all. Ever. Always knew he'd be a winner. I remember saying at the time when I first recognised the talent in Lionel Messi, I turned to me mate and I said, this Messi fella is good, but you know who else will be good... Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United. Mark my wards, Trev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price was the main issue. £45m tends to get you fairly close to elite level and he’s nowhere near that level yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
