Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

Can't ever fault his effort and commitment. That automatically gets the fans on your side here. 

 

He's a total menace on the pitch and I'm glad we have him and won't need to worry about losing him for a long time.

Proper poachers goal as well. Nice to know he can pop up in those positions when he needs to when there's no Isak or Wilson on the pitch. Same with Joelinton for the knock down. Think it proves Howe will find a way to still win games without them.

The Gordon at Everton v the one here is a completely different human being :lol: 

Was gonna say. I don't see much scowling from him nowadays! He's a lot happier and more confident in himself.

Newcastle's England XI would beat the rest of the world's England XI. Team ethic and intensity would run the rest of them off the park.

 

The ROTW team would have so much technical quality though, it would certainly be a tough game. I don't know if I'd be able to call the result with any certainty.

It's weird, is it the laundry or is he significantly less of a cunt in our shirt? Like, he was demonstrably odious playing for Everton every god damn week.

 

Not having a shit life off the pitch and the team doing well on the pitch probably helps somewhat to decrease the cuntyness in any player.

Aye, I mean there's a couple of obvious stand-outs that are far superior to what we have - Kane, Bellingham and further down the list Foden and Saka. But beyond these few, are what England have at international level really that much ahead of what we have on the pitch? Is that quality gap enough to overcome our intensity and  never-say-die attitude?

 

I reckon PSG's lineup was comparable on paper to an England XI without Newcastle players and we blew them away...  Agreed it's not exactly nailed on, but what a nice place to be in to even broach such an absurd notion.

 

I've said it before, but it feels like I'm in an alternate world, real-life FM save.. where Luton is in the PL, we've got (kind of) unlimited money, we're getting results sometimes that feel like they've been save-scummed :lol: Champions League after a manager's first full season in charge, a cup final... I really hope everyone is inhaling this shit because this is once-in-a-lifetime stuff for fans. This time period is going to be to some lads what the Keegan to the Robson eras felt like to me. I feel privileged to be able to go through this again.

He proper loves a body feint without touching the ball like. His centre of gravity makes him a great player to watch. Unreal how much I hated him at Everton, but he's also massively taken it up a few levels this season.

Yep, I'm in exactly the same camp. Thought his signing was odd, didn't think he was all that after he signed and absolutely despised him at Everton due to his 'antics'.

 

He's one of the best players I've seen play for us.

I love his post match interview, can see in his eyes how happy he is. I bet he had moments when he was at Everton where he wondered if he’d ever enjoy football at this level. 
 

Numerous gears to work through yet. Well done to him.
