He was doing this loads last season. People will start noticing more now.:lol:

 

There's no doubting he's class for us but for whatever reason he definitely doesn't cover his left back well. It might be tactical.

Last season he stayed higher up and the LM covered. It’s a way of providing an outlet and stretching opponents but I think also using Joelintons / BDBs strengths (appreciate it was Hall yesterday but it’s a longstanding tactic)
 

Howe used this even before Gordon, e.g. watch the 22/23 season 3-3 with Man City where ASM always stays high, and exploited the gaps left when Walker tried to go forward

Any thought has to why he decided he wasn't really arsed anymore here?

 

Early in the game and he just lets him go basically. I know we had the numbers but it was still a dangerous looking situation.

 

Bruno not exactly busting a gut either but we know Gordon can move and he seems to just not?

 

Was really poor yesterday, really hope his head hasn't been turned and it's just rust from the summer.

Maybe been told not to come too deep - the entire euros everyone was complaining that Kane comes too deep yet people are judging him because he doesn’t.

 

A lot of his goals last season came from being that outlet and hitting them fast, maybe that’s what he was told to do.

Joelinton probably told him that he's got this.

He can have his move next summer, we're going to have to sell 1 of him, Isak and Bruno and I'd rather keep the other two.


One or both of Isak will almost certainly move without champions league football next season.

He looked like he couldn't be arsed at all yesterday, really hope he's not downing tools like he did at Everton to get his move .


He was laughing and joking at the full time whistle. He won’t be full fit.

Think he's legitimately not match fit and his confidence was shit; nothing come off for him. I noticed Isak was busting a gut to press in areas Gordon should have.

 

Not to mention he was clattered at least 3 times none of which, according to Pawson, warranted even a yellow.

I don't think Howe would've picked him ahead of Barnes if he thought there was a chance that was the case.

I could do with an interview from him, addressing his questions of loyalty or better still, give him a juicy new contract.

I want to see him burning a Liverpool shirt before I ever trust him

He looked absolutely fine to me. Few heavy touches but that's it.

 

No protection from the ref, absorbed a few heavy challenges and still almost got a goal, if not for a foul by Bruno on some guy Gordon was going to beat anyway.

He'll be one of the best players in the league again this season. It wasn't a great game but I don't know how anyone can start making judgments in the game even the first 28 mins.

 

A) It was the first 28 minutes of the season against a newly promoted but generally established premier league team

B)We were down to 10 for the rest of the game so no chance to adjust etc.

 

If we had not gone down to 10 men we would have blown them away in the 2nd half IMO once we adjusted to meet there impressive style.  They'll do well this season.

Howay, give the lad a chance! He's had no pre-season, lost confidence due to a clueless manager, and we played the first game with 10 men. Look at the performances from other English players who played in the Euros.

 

Watkins, Bowen and Eze had below par performances (based on player ratings from live scores) and probably many more. Keep the faith.
