Kid Icarus Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'd be shocked if ASM doesn't start against Bournemouth. It's not Howe's style to not give players a fair crack imo. Look at the chances Wilson's had while not performing. He'll get at least 45 minutes to turn it on against relatively weak opposition, away from the pressure of SJP before bringing Gordon on imo.

Will be interesting to see if it plays out this way, I expect it will, but I also suspect Wilson is a favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Argument to say Miggy should be coming out for a bit, he has come off the boil. Gordon I think has played more on the right than the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 He was on for ten seconds before I saw him do things we never ever fucking do. Immediate boost to the squad. I love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think West Ham was the test and Gordon proved himself in 20min to be of more value to our shape and systems than ASM did in almost 70. We'll try to get a couple goals in the first half against Bournemouth and then go on to a more defensive shape to see the game out. Then again, Howe could do exactly what you've described.

It's different playing from the start of a game, and coming on for your debut against tired legs. Will he play like that for 90 minutes? If he does, we got a 200m player on our hands.

The College Dropout Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 ASM was electrifying against Southampton for 20 minutes and was on the bench the next game too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for some perverse reason I watched more Everton games last year than I should of and Gordon, Richarlson, Iwobi were the engine room of Lampard's survival run. Gordon is just as effective in moving the ball up the pitch as Maxi and isn't the defensive liability our rogue Frenchman is. When ASM is on his game, he's awesome, but overall, he is a hindrance to our team shape and system. I love the creativity, character and highlights Maxi brings to our team, but he's better coming off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Maxi vastly better in carrying the ball and beating people mind. And in progressive passes and assists. Edited February 6, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to compare them both against the same data-set or it's just misleading...Gorgon with 1.92 shots per 90 is 93rd percentile, ASM with 2.08 per 90 is 40th percentile?

The Bonk Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Aye, just realized I screen grabbed the wrong tab. Apologies! The other thing to note, out of my blunder, is that Gordon offers more versatility positionally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediate boost to the squad. I love him. Great debut for me. I know I’m going OTT but he Reminded me of Bruno’s little pirouette (sp?) when he made his first appearance from the bench last season. Gordon’s turn and pass to Longstaff was excellent for a first touch on debut and the through ball to Wilson just made me even more excited. He brings a real sharpness of thought and movement. Can’t wait to see him and Bruno ping the ball around like they did in that spell during the semis of the cup. Not seen that kind of football for years! considering he looked like a YTS kid when they filmed him meeting his teammates…he is surprisingly tall. Hope he fills out soon!
