This guy today man.

 

So clumsy and so many daft decisions.

 

When he has a poor start, he has an annoying habit of starting to try too hard to make up for it.

 

Just calm down and keep things simpler!

I thought he was bad overall on Wednesday, despite his goal and some lovely moments of skill. Similar today. 
 

I know teams give him more respect, sit off and double up on him. Plus it is the team’s fault for not making space for him and being a goal behind most the game. But he was at his best last season when he just made his mind up and committed. 
 

He always looks unsure of what he wants to do and I think he lacks technical quality (hell of a volley, mind) on the ball when the game is tight like that.
 

He seems to slow the play down to survey the field. Then doesn’t really create the opening. Bruno gets stick for having too many touches. But Gordon is just as bad.

Brilliant first half. Outrageous from him for the first goal. Second was poor, I thought. But most the team dropped off second half.  
 

Felt he had the beating of Castagne every time down the outside. But gave him chances to get back to him with his touch or final decision. He also reverted back to cutting inside a lot. Which hasn’t had the same success this year and usually results in a blocked shot.

Why, out of interest? Do pro-athletes not get tired? Or more because people are just assuming they are?

It's not about 90 minutes, they could run for 6 hours non-stop if they wanted to (even the perceived lazy ones), it's all about intensity.

I honestly think he's 'almost' as good as anyone else in our team TBH, some of the things he attempts show incredible technique and awareness. 

 

If anything he maybe tries too much and turns down simpler options, but when it works it's glorious.
