Similar to the Almiron thread? No, the two are not linked. One player is massively letting us down and performed above expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Just now, Viana said: But he did score though mate I know the point you're making, but in the Premier League, especially at the top level, it's not about what might have happened. I love Miggy, but Gordon's on a goal and an assist and overall has been involved in a lot of best moments in these first few games. We're moving away from the days of Ashley whereby the squad was small and we had to embrace the lads faults because it was all about stopping up. We've got huge aspirations and every place higher in the league earns us more dosh and opens up more opportunities for the club. It's not like say Wilson where he's begging Barnes to play him in. Miggy had three big chances. One was an outrageous save, but the other two have to be seen as poor finishes in the cold light of day. One almost knocked a satellite out of space I'll admit. Putting it off the post is hardly a poor finish. Jesus, he just missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 More importantly, not to drag up the Barnes debate up again, but there's more to football than shooting. Taking away his goal, Gordon was far more contributive, varied and threatening in build up play. With Miggy it's the same stuff every time, good and bad, unfortunately.

duo Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The biggest complement I can give him is he didn't get enough of the ball today especially in the 2nd half. If he had we would have won as Liverpool couldn't cope with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palestoon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Today highlighted again how badly we need a left back who can support the left wing. Against 10 men and with TAA on a yellow we should have been wave after wave down the left side isolating him. Unfortunately Burn offers no threat to overlap and get forward, so liverpool were able to bring midfield cover to help all 2nd half down that side. They never looked uncomfortable. Hopefully hall can get up to speed soon and make the LB position his own. Think it will have a huge impact on our attacking capabilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think it actually just shows how limited Barnes is as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianbeany Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Some fucking hilarious comments on GrandOldTeam "McNeil is just as good as Gordon if not better, is one year older and was half the price of what we sold Gordon for. He scored a goal gifted on a plate to him, chill out." "He hasn't really become a better player at Newcastle. He just has more room to run with the ball than he did with us and that is making him seem better." "He's been bang average for Newcastle too but the Skunks want to make a rivalry where every time he kicks a ball forward they'll want to justify the price tag." Fuck knows what that last one is meant to mean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 A brilliant performance from him which deserved a win. Great movement and never loses the ball. He gets lots of hate for reasons I can't quite comprehend, I think it is some combination of his face, his accent, his history with prior clubs, and his tenaciousness on the field, so huge amounts of noise to screen out about him. If you'll excuse the politics, some of the noise will be from folks with otherwise progressive views, because kicking down on people who seem working class or "common" never gets the limelight other forms of prejudice do.

KingArthur Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 He was very good. Will be helped a lot when there is Hall playing behind him and attacking the space Gordon creates when he comes inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Said I had a feeling about this guy. Excellent performance again. Glad we can take some positives with us after yesterdays travesty.

Away Toon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Best game he's had so far. I'd like to see him replace Almiron but not sure how effective he would be playing on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
