Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

Gordon has bags of everything, pace, intelligence, technique, finishing.
 

I think sometimes being so thoughtful and self aware isn’t good for him, maybe leads to him dwelling on things and being critical. 
 

Hopefully he can come back firing next season because at his best he’s a really top player.

Not sure I agree with technique and finishing. I think it is very up and down for someone that plays that position. 
 

I do take your other points, though. It was like last season he played on instinct and emotion. This season he is over-thinking it. 
 

I’ve said on here loads he has started slowing down his play and trying to survey the pitch before making a decision. But it rarely works with him.
 

He isn’t an elite playmaker who is going to pick a pass. But he is elite at isolating players and running at them with the ball. So more of that, please.

yeah, I don’t think Gordon has even good technique or finishing. He’s about passing and movement. He’d have more than 6 goals this season if he was good at any of that stuff.

Maybe me, but I've felt like he's not gone in the outside as much as he did last season which makes him a bit easier to defend against. 

 

As for the stop, drop and roll, really wish he'd cut that out.

Don't think he was atrocious, but he was poor. I don't like how he has the LW spot nailed down as his despite how well Barnes has played there whilst he was out, nor do I like how he seems to be untouchable regarding being substituted.

Unless someones really really wants him, you dont sell a player like him when he has had a period out of form.

Doubt anyone would offer anywhere near where his potential value could be atm.

 

To me he was clearly our best player last season, Im willing to give him alot more time to let him get back to his best. 

Im more annoyed at Eddie for letting him take Barnes place than Gordon himself tbh.

It’s nothing new, fans want to sell different players from week to week depending on results/performances.

 

Wasn’t long ago that Trippier was deemed finished and should be offloaded, now people are clamouring for him to be back in the side.

Correct. Some people are idiots and always will be. Entitled to their views, obviously, especially on a forum but idiots all the same.

Not sure why people love to talk about getting rid

 

Gordon has been poor since the sending off against Brighton but prior to that he was good

 

He's a good player with some weaknesses (such as his finishing and general passing, which can be too casual) but he's very much an important part of the squad

 

As it is, I would not be starting him on Sunday, the game is too important and he's not shown he's worthy of a start

I mean, he was subbed last weekend 🤷‍♂️

It isn't that uncommon for players to have a season like this only to be at their best the season after. I would at the very least give him another season. It's just annoying how he keeps being used and prioritized when he's completely out of it.

I really like Gordon and didn't see anything of grave concern today, though he had one really bad moment which led to the goal. 

 

Think he just needs to put this season behind him and have a bit of a reset over the summer. Hopefully there's no talk of any transfer and he can just work hard on picking himself back up a bit.

 

He had a really strong spell but either side of it he's blown pretty cold. 

 

Would probably drop him next week, like.

he's a great player but i think eddie drops him for everton - both tactical and emotional reasons.

 

how many times today did we shout "gerrup man!" at him? [emoji38]
