Can we talk about how good his technique was to keep that volley on target for Schar's second

He played 2 ridiculous passes as well, 1 switch in the 1st half and then a through ball to Murphy, which would have had him clean through but Martinez had a great starting point. He's an absolute gem

Pissed me off on the commentary I listened to that they were banging on about how lucky we were with the second as it just "bounced back" off the cross bar without acknowledging how clean a hit it was. Didn't quite work out for him today, but could have easily had a few. What he does for the team beyond that is just incredible just couldn't see this coming when he was playing last year.

I think his next step is about mixing up those situations on the break where he ends up shooting from a difficult position.

 

If he can find a way to get into those more dangerous positions with the ball more regularly, or bring others into play he'll be unreal.

Is he?

No I don’t think so - I’m sure the yellow card limits reset after Xmas don’t they?

 

edit - the above is incorrect, but I believe Gordon is on 9 now, so same situation as Bruno - 1 more and he has a 2 match ban. Unless they can get to match week 33 without picking one up.

Often wonder if he was being half primed as being the replacement for Wilson and that was where Barnes fitted in. Especially away from home.

Hmmm, that’s an interesting take. We didn’t see him player centrally at all last season though did we?

 

Makes sense though; buying two first choice left wingers was a puzzling choice.

Not an exact science and probably utter shit but having a fluid Gordon-Isak-Barnes is an all three can play all three.

 

Especially given how Gordon played there for England unders. 

 

Not what I’d prioritise but I can see the attraction and pretty much what Liverpool have currently.

Also one over the top to Isak when the ball was going out of play. Surprised everyone.

I thought before the season he’d play a lot on the right, which is why we were comfortable not bringing in an RW. And I think you’re right with the ability to move around the front three. We’ve just been robbed of seeing it.

I distinctly remember posting at the beginning of the season that we had such luxury of depth that Gordon could afford to run his bollocks off for 70 minutes knowing that good players would be there to replace him if he got tired.

 

What an idiot I was :lol:
