Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

I was willing to put it down to fitness, but after seeing him put in something resembling effort for England you’d have a hard time convincing me his head wasn’t turned this summer.

 

The one thing Gordon could guarantee on even his worst day was effort and work rate. It’s gone at the moment.

He looked visibility upset at HT walking off the pitch and Eddie put and arm around him, not sure if anything else might be up?

 

My lad is 11 and when things aren't going well on the football pitch I tell him the only solution is to work harder. Gordon is sauntering around like he's on a yacht.

This season he's given nowt, not sure what's up with him?

 

His defensive effort is none existent, its like he just can't be bothered, and it's a choice he's making, because the same in attacking positions and he's sprinting his bollocks off, but going in the other direction and he's walking, not interested. 

 

Would've thought Howe wouldn't stand for that, but I'm beginning to wonder if Howe doesn't want to upset him?

I hear what people are saying. It's weird because but I watched him sprint 40 yards to close the keeper down one second then give up on a very winnable ball the next. Somethings up with him like. His touch is shocking at times.


That’s what has confused me in some other games too. As soon as I’m ready to condemn him he runs after something. But then he’ll lose the ball and not even try to win it back.

He looks like the rest of the team tbf. Low on confidence, with poor decision making.

Yeah. I think he personifies it most but we're lacking confidence and tenacity atm. Not sure why, seems there's something 'off' to me.

I dont buy the whole 'heads turned by Liverpool' thing because playing this badly is going to ruin any chance he has of a move, so it doesn't make sense. Honestly there's something just rotten about performances all over the squad this season so far. The fact that we're still unbeaten going into today's game proves the squad can achieve a lot this season if they wake up and get going properly.

Something isn’t right for sure

Has there been any indication this is true? 

 

Yeah loads. Not if you are looking for an official statement, but Howe has spoken about players getting their heads turned, and plenty of journos are going with it. Of course nothing is true until it's written in black and white, just depends on what you want to believe.
