Pata Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 It honestly seems like he’s sulking, really hope it’s just a fitness issue and he thinks about saving energy in some spots but this isn’t the same Gordon from last season. Never seems to smile anymore either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I don’t think he is that bad today. He even has a few classy moments after back to the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 He was awful, particularly in the second half, hopefully some sort of fitness issue or slight injury rather than head turned and sulking, pretty much nothing he tried came off and he wasn't as quick getting back as you'd expect from him. Hopefully he sorts out whatever it is that's not right, even if it's just a patch of bad form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) Just not right at all, sloppy as fuck. Hopefully international break does him good. I think he’s too professional to throw a sulk Edited September 1 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seems to smile anymore either. So many unusual/unforced errors. Wonder if his confidence has taken a knock over the summer with England? Must have felt a million dollars when he joined after being player of tournament in U21 Euros. Perhaps the opposite has occurred. Hopefully temporarily.

Shak Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 On the plus side if he keeps playing like this nobody will want him so he'll need to get his act together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAK Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Hopefully he snaps out of it, think it’s post Euros blues from not playing and lack of pre season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Really poor again, the lack of preseason shows. Csn only imagine he gets more minutes than Barnes is his graft off the ball or because he's on contract negotiations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 If he isnt happy about the Liverpool move that's fine, but he's stuck here now so he needs to start showing up or he'll be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 he doesn’t look fit. Looks so slow and weak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Either taken us pimping him out to heart, understandably, or sulking because he wanted the move. Another situation that feels like self sabotage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 One of our most underperformed players at present. Needs to get his head out of his arse a bit as he's unplayable on his day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Is it just me or does he look slower? I hope he starts for England and has a good game. I think it's confidence and a lack of a pre-season that is holding him back rather than being unsettled and unhappy here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 What's up with this dude? Looked immediately better on the left. Is he sulking that he has to play on the right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I just think he doesn’t look fit? His usual zip is missing and I don’t think it is just him not trying. There are times he looks a bit lazy and like he’s loafing. But again, I put a lot of that down to his fitness. Maybe no break, away with England where he got no minutes and probably low intensity training. Followed by virtually no pre-season with us. Has properly fucked him? I was hoping the international break would help. But he’s in the England squad FFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this I think, seen a few ‘heads been turned’ posts.. on the surface he doesn’t seem that type of character at all. A very ambitious lad who won’t be the sort to put in half hearted performances at any time, he probably needs a real rest but our wide options won’t allow it. The energy we got used to just isn’t there right now. Edited September 1 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting that on Howe. Should have just put Barnes on the right as he looked better than Gordon there last game, and he's the one that is wanting to play and so should be fine to make the sacrifice of playing there. Poor decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s in the England squad FFS Quite a few aimless/target-less passes he made today that are puzzling, and suggests to me its not all down to fitness but might have something to do with morale. Is it hangover from being Southgated? Our shopping him? Not really sure. Really hope he hasn't gotten a nod behind the scenes that he'll be shipped out in one of the coming windows in light of the PSR stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
