Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

I hate talking about players wealth etc - basically good on them if they are talented enough to succeed in an industry that can and does pay the wages - but it must be difficult for managers to motivate a young guy who is already set for life to bust a gut chasing down a tackle in what is really a third tier game in terms of competition importance.

 

Basically another feather in Mr Howe's cap and evidence of the quality of personality we have in the club

Probably worth watching the Amazon episode again where it shows how desperate Amanda wanted him. Love a 100% clean tackle which gets the crowd pumped up. I'm still trying to work out Pep's reaction to it.

Love Kovacic’s reaction to the tackle, too used to seeing players roll around to try and get players into trouble or get play stopped. 
 

Over the moon with Gordon. I was pleased with the signing, proud that he’s now put that sour end to his time at Everton and took the challenge on to fit in with what’s required here.

Love the Terminator like accent Schar said that in :lol:

 

Absolutely. :lol: It was a great insight into the training ground, that video. I love the way Howe sorta just owns the room in the snippet with him too.

 

But yeah, Schar is the man. Due a goal, mind (in the right net). He was a 1 in 10-er before last season.

Also, I think his move to us has made him as a player, I don't see him getting player of the tournament with the U21s if he was still with Everton. This club - from Stavely to Howe, the coaches and to the support he's received from the fans of the club has brought him on to a whole new level. 


It was the perfect time to strike in retrospect, I always go back to that game where the Everton board didn’t attend the game and him and a few other players had to deal with the aftermath, fans blocking their cars etc. I don’t blame him for never wanting to play for the club again after that , he was made the fall guy for institutional failure at 21. 
 

The contrast to coming here and being looked after by the entire club. There was some fan mutterings when he signed but the ovation he got when he was presented at that semi final was great. The fan support behind him has just grown and you can see he feeds of it. 
 

Said it before but he’s just got the look in his eye of someone desperate to achieve and excel.

was struggling to see the way he would fit into our system, even as recently as early season, but he’s completely won me over now. his decision making seems to be getting sharper - which if he gets that 100% and with his speed/commitment- he’s going to be a top player in coming years

Anderson will be playing left wing surely against West Ham?

 

Good shout.

 

Gordon must he horrible to play against, he uses his pace to rob opponents as much as to go past them.
