Thumbheed Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) I think he's very similar to Almiron, personally, only more 2 footed and more direct and I'd day his link up play is better too. Edited August 14, 2023 by Thumbheed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron is a top class player. Gordon has a higher ceiling than him, I think. Hoping it’s with us and peppered with silverware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almirons stamina is way better but hopefully Gordon will get there. Gordon is a more ‘natural’ footballer than Almiron. Uses both feet, strikes it cleaner etc. but I see the similarities Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it’s with us and peppered with silverware. I think so too. Think he's got a bit more footballing intelligence than Almiron, whereas Almiron is a bit more instinctive with his play, albeit from a position that's not natural to him.

80 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 8 hours ago, Viana said: I think he had a lot of baggage to get rid of and by the time that was done the season was over. Now he's had a summer of being super fit and Eddie Howe telling him what he wants on the pitch. Watch that first goal again to see what I mean. I think a few months ago he was hesitant, he was over thinking, and he just wasn't being instinctual. Fast forward to yesterday. He's alive to the rebound and recycles the ball. He's then straight on his bike running into space and wanting the ball. When he gets it he's throw in a first time cross rather than trying to beat a man or make it a better chance. It's all quick and decisive decision making. He could easily have had another assist minutes later but Tonali was denied. I read a book once called The Inner Game of Tennis. It talks about quietening the mind to let the body take control. That's what I see with Anthony Gordon right now. He won't be as decisive as this every week, and I'm sure he'll have obstacles to overcome, but whenever he's in that flow state he can be devastating. Good post. Don't think he'll have perfected control over himself this season either - he clearly takes negative feedback like missed shots badly - but he's on the right path. Eventually he can be a very serious goalscorer too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Great to see him back at his early-Everton form. Not the most elegant of players maybe, but he does make things happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefabtoon Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 No one won more fouls (6) and no one won more duels (10) on Saturday, where Gordon’s work on and off the ball played a key role in our 5-1 win over Unai Emery’s Villa. After a positive summer with England and impressive pre-season, it’s great to see our £40m man look full of confidence, energy and quality heading into this weekend’s trip to the Etihad.

Just putting my neck on the line. watched the Amazon episode after a few wines and the way they were talking about him got me thinking about when we missed out on Rooney. Glad we managed to tie him down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I do think he’s got incredible potential, he’s already a very good player, he’s rapid and that’s something that a huge number of good players lack. His flexibility will mean he will always get minutes. Just don’t see any downside to him at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
