Thought he was top today, looked confident and determined to use his unpredictability and intelligence. Great strike as well of course.

The type of “fuck off” confidence i was alluding to about last season (made the post the other day). When he plays like he feels like nobody can stop him, he’s nearly unplayable with that pace and ability.

AG is a clever and analytical guy. I’m sure he’ll figure out a way to improve his finishing. Maybe he needs to work on a particular move/shot and refine it the way Henry did. 
Anyway, I’m sure there are enough brains in the building to make him better.

Agreed. A lot of it is confidence too. Last season he scored today’s goal multiple times (City and Sheff U spring to mind).  I think he’s been practicing this for a long time and today it came off.  Excellent goal.

This on repeat for the new few days GORDONNNNN

He's very ambitious. His ambitions lie here with us!

Nice sentiments but ultimately there's no loyalty in football.

Probably 90% of the time, yes.

Time will tell. Some are the exception rather than the rule. There's not many though.

[relámpago blanco]

I think after he was hounded out at 19, surrounded and threatened by the fans of his boyhood club he might think twice about moves. 

[TheBrownBottle]

Loyalty doesn’t come into it.  Ultimately they’re employees, and it is a short career.  Football clubs can hardly whine about the ‘loyalty’ of players - some clubs push literally hundreds of youngsters off their books each year; if the player isn’t good enough, or too old, they won’t get a new contract.  Players are ‘loyal’ as long they’re starting each week and achieving as much as they can achieve based on their skills.  Pretty much every Geordie who ever played in B&W left the club at some point, sometimes actively pushing for a transfer.  Beardsley, Gascoigne, Shearer, Carroll - they all either went or wanted to go at some point, though they’d often justify it with claims re ambition etc.  I’m not arguing that this is wrong, just that football is a cutthroat industry and it’s not reasonable to expect the players to act any different.  Gordon has zero links to us - if a club which is bigger, will pay more and increase his chances of winning trophies rocks up with a bid, he’ll no doubt actively consider it.

He talked to a Swedish reporter before last game and he talked about just how hard it is to switch positions mid-game. Each position comes with at least ten new instructions (at Newcastle) - different movements, defensive responsibilities, and attacking patterns. It’s not just about running to a new area of the pitch, it’s about completely changing the way you think and play.

[RS]

Just totally Giggsed Man u

[joeyt]

He's got his swagger and confidence back

 

He absolutely rinsed Mazraoui in the first half

[Holloway]

He's whipping in some very effective crosses of late, that one for big Joe's goal last night was perfection

[Bunk Moreland]

 

[Newcastle Fan]

Well done today, worked hard and got us back in it, i still think he can improve his end product which considering the stats above is crazy done enough for Tuchel to keep him starting for England.

[Ginola14]

almost back to his best in recent weeks

 

very confident finish on his weaker foot great to see 

 

such an important player for his attacking threat and overrall workrate 

 

why do players keep getting away with smashing him in the face though?

Genuinely forgot what a little miserable shitheel he used to be. Love this kid.

 

Maybe Pickford is a decent dude as well?

[Gaztoon]

Calling him rotten for going down until it showed you the blood.. looked like nothing at first. 

[kenlau88210]

Not trying to be negative. I am glad Gordon has been delivering goals and assists recently. But for yesterday I found it a bit strange that most people think Botman was most at fault for the 1st goal when Gordon just let Porro have all the time and space to deliver that peach of a cross to Solanke.

There are some lines we simply do not cross, Mike

i wonder if he would benefit from putting a bit of muscle on his bones, he's kind of lightweight and it could take him up a notch

In that interview a few months ago with Gary Neville he said he is allowed not to go into the weight room due to him doing yoga instead. I think he believes that putting on muscle will be detrimental for him.

 

I think at times he may look weak due to him ensuring he gets free kicks he like Bruno loves to buy a free kick on minimal contact
