David Edgar Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 His ball retention is A1. If he can't find a pass, he easily carries it inside and looks to switch the play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The way he chases and hounds the defenders is unbelievable. I have no idea how he does this for 90 minutes! Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that he gets Sunday off completely with the amount of minutes he has already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s going to be quite a tired slower paced game with our efforts last night and West Ham only getting back from Germany on Friday morning.

toon25 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 He never gave up tonight. Didn't quite have Hakimi on toast, but he didn't let it bother him or put him off his game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Must be pinching himself. Wins international tournament, gets rated player of that tournament, has fans singing his name every game, plays at San Siro, involved in a PL 8-0 City, beating Man City, and then last night. It’s only 9 months since he was being chased down/confronted by his own fans. What a re-birth! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefabtoon Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Always rated the lad but last nights performance was top notch again. pressing a PSG defender into an error in the first minute, then immediately summoning the crowd into even more fevered levels of support. Then just carried on in the same vein all night. Their right back will be having nightmares about Anthony Gordon for weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 To coin an American Football running back phrase. He really is like a pressure release valve. You just know he's going to get you up the pitch or nick a cheap free kick when he gets the ball with a bit of space to run into. Late in the game, I think it was him or possibly someone else that nicked it back. He then carried it 20-30 yards, before making sure he drew the foul. Clever as fuck when it is for your team. Infuriating and borderline cheating when it is against you. Glad he now plays for us every week and it's not twice a season against us. He's relentless.

gbandit Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Grand Old Team to a man said he was basically shite and they’d ripped us off. Absolute clowns. Normally I trust other supporters to know their players but they didn’t rate Gordon despite him having an amazing breakthrough season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianSwan Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Don't forget, Thomas Tuchel really tried hard to get him for Chelsea when he was there. I saw videos at that time from 'football experts' highlighting how hard Gordan works off the ball and how his pressing would be great for a Tuchel team.

He was the only shining light in that awful side of theirs at the time, and it’s why he was the only one to move for decent money when they needed to sell because they are financially fucked.

Genuinely think during his second season they started to not rate him I mean, it would be hard for most players to look good in that shambles of a team as it was at the time but if they genuinely thought they ‘robbed us’ that is hilarious. Just another case of a negatively emotional set of football fans failing to see the wood for the trees.. and we got a bargain out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiote only got 14 because Pardew didn’t play in the last game (or two?) of that season so he wouldn’t be suspended at the start of the next season. Perch got 5 in his first 5 games for us, which was quite some going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 He’s the perfect example of why we should trust the transfer process at the club now. It’s obvious just how much “someone” wanted him and everyone is now seeing why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
