Anthony Gordon

[Lush Vlad]

Already matched his league goals total for Everton. In less than half the games. 
 

General consensus seemed to be that he was good on the ball, quick and worked hard (along with all the other stuff ). But that he needed to improve on his output. 
 

He has certainly done that with his goal involvements this year.

Not going to be easy, Almiron brings so much to the team. If he just could get some consistency in his finishing..

 

I actually think our first team is on par with most atm(in practice, not on paper). Just need a bigger squad, bigger than others considering the intensity in our play.

I get what you’re saying but if you’re going to go to places like Anfield, Emirates etc or even play those teams at home you need higher quality finishers/game changers. Miggy is great and will no doubt have a prominent role still but RW definitely needs strengthening/uograded. I’m not saying I know exactly who but I’m sure this is a position they’ll look at next summer. 
 

Agreed that the squad is definitely coming together now though when all fit. I think after Jan and next summer it’ll start to getting close to what they want.

Love Miggy but he’s a bench player for me, someone that can bring amazing energy for a final 30 minutes of a game. A top class starting RW is an absolute must if we want to really kick on to the top level.

Yep will be a key addition next summer

Not a bench player for me, more a rotating player for easier games maybe? Think he is best utilized when he plays the full 90 mins.

Mbuemo at right wing to replace Miggy and we'll be very very decent.

 

Anthony's only going to get better and that £40m is a snip looking back.

Visible limp at the end. Hope he’s ok (physically and mentally) for Everton.

Eddie said he felt something tight in his hip.

If we make it to the UCL next season with the new format, our schedule would be worse than what it is now with the extra games. We need a bigger squad anyways. It is no longer possible to start the same 11 every game even if we had no injuries, and Almiron will be a squad player if we bring in a world class RW.

That would of been Wan-Bissaka in his back pocket

 Need higher quality for those teams? We’re playing them now and getting the results beating arsenal and Man City this season with him in the team. We always want to improve but to say we ‘need’ to improve RM is the wrong turn of phrase in my opinion.

Im not saying he’s shit and maybe you’re right increased depth just means more options. Replace ‘need’ with ‘could do with’ possibly. Miggy does very well for us but is Gordon a better player than Miggy on the opposite side and are there better RW players out there, I think yes to both of those that’s all I mean. Next season we’ll look to go up another level and RW is an area we can improve on is my point I think ?

Anthony Gordon terrifies defenders. The lad is absolutely class and his engine is fantastic.

He has matured so much. Has become such a great character with amazing attitude and mentality. Great to see.

Can't believe how well he speaks and all.

 

They called him a rat though and spoke so ill of his character.

 

Hope they're all filled with shame.

We have so many disciplined players, and I love it! Such a key part to our success. We can thank Eddie Howe and our recruitment team for that, but I suspect that Howe does most of the job in terms of making sure that our players have the right mentality.

Was going to write the same. His last game for Everton up here he was grumpy all game with the famous Trippier/Schar bust up. Then he had the rant in the Brentford game. Think its safe to say he wasnt at the right place mantally or physically. He is still a snide on the pitch, but hes not screaming at other players and not going up in their faces anymore. He plays the game, and if he can gain something in a specific situasion he goes down easily to win a freekick or something. Couple of stupid yellows early on but thats about it. His attitude compared to when he joined and now is on a different level.

[Hank Marvin]

Gordon one side

 

Chiesa the other...

 

Fire.

 

  

 

 

[RobsonsWonderland]

7 goals in 35 for Newcastle

7 goals in 78 for Everton

 

Would be nice to get the 8th against them on Thursday!

How do we think he'll react on Thursday? Crowd are going to be on his back all game, and are going to make it really hostile for him. It's going to take a really mature performance from him.

If it was the end of last season, I would say I would be concerned as his head wasn't in the right place.

 

However this year he has everything he wanted.. we might even lose but he knows he is at the right club.

Why do you keep talking like this? You talk like Gordon didn't act like a twat when we played Everton. He has matured and is a completely different boy to who he was at Everton - doesn't mean that he wasn't a twat back then. He's a young boy. Maturing is expected.

Agree 100%. Miggy’s been a great servant and still an impactful player for us but he’ll be a squad player rather than a regular starter in the next year or two.
