I'm not saying he was as good as last season but he's definitely not been poor or shite all season

 

Think he was okay at the start of the season but kicked on in December but unfortunately been terrible since early Feb

 

 

 

I reckon he wasn't great at the start of this season. There was some speculation on here at the time that the possible Liverpool switch might have turned his head.

 

It might be that the stats don't back that up, I don't know. Not having a go at him, I think he's class and on his day unplayable. But Barnes to me has added more on LW late this season, and Murphy is better than either at RW. What a season he's had.

The people wanting rid should remember how he helped save our season last year with all the injuries we had. He played injured and knackered many times when we’ve had plenty of players over the years who didn’t want to play even when fit.
 

He absolutely deserves the benefit of the doubt and our support, not us “being open to selling him” because he’s out of form. No doubt if he scores on the weekend this will all be swiftly forgotten until his next bad performance.

And I don’t understand WTF is wrong about his attitude? Didnt try his best to press? Being selfish? Start to blame his team mates? Showing laziness on the pitch?

 

I watched nearly all his minutes this season and I saw nothing of the above.

 

You can say his form dipped, and you can say he didn’t progress in the way we expected, you can also say he should control his temper better during important matches, but it is fucking shit to try to escalate this to the level of “attitude problem”. Gordon looks like fucking saint to me comparing to the likes of Marcelino Goma or even Hamaan.

 

Stop acting like stupid Everton fans.

Exactly this.

Don't think his work ethic has been a problem, just his quality on the ball hasn't been the same.

Hmmm, I don't know like, not playing as well as a previously high level is not something I'd describe as poor or shite but each to their own

 

 

Apart from that 8-9 game stretch. He’s been somewhere between bang average and poor this season. By his standards and ability, anyway. 
 

As for the attitude stuff. It’s impossible to quantify. But plenty of people are saying it and I don’t disagree.
 

He doesn’t look as interested, not working on and off the ball like last season, he seems more greedy in his decisions and like he is over-playing with the ball a lot of the time. 
 

Not sure how that makes us all ‘stupid Everton fans’  

 

I don’t want to sell him. I’d just like us to get him back to the levels that saw him as our player of the season. He’d be a long way down the voting this season. Of our regular sort of 14-15 players. He’s a lot closer to the bottom than the top. Based on his overall performances.
