You sell players when they are performing at a high level so you get the best fee. Sell Murphy this summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Smal Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) 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. Edited 2 hours ago by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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.

Tsunami Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago His finishing is terrible. It’s quite a feat how regularly he misses the same shot into the far corner. He must bury them in training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Entitled to their views, obviously, especially on a forum but idiots all the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Wouldnt mind starting him as a striker if Isak is out. Not that I think he is good there, but just lack of other options. Edited 1 hour ago by Displayname Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) 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.

Yorkie Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) 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? Edited 1 hour ago by huss9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
