Anthony Gordon

Should of scored a hat trick today his finishing can be quite poor at times aswell, 

But he works his arse off.

Needs a goal for confidence it feels.

His all round play is still good and off the ball he works really hard, which is what keeps Barnes out the team. But his finishing this season has been so wasteful. Looked alot more composed and clinical last season.

He was ruthless last season. Played with a fuck off load of confidence too.

He will be a 15 goal pr season player if he ever learns how to head a ball. He's had so many good chances on the head since he came here, yet not one single headed goal.

agree, but that header yesterday should be a foul. Gordon was pushed from behind.

I don’t think much has changed with his finishing since last season. He isn’t composed at all and doesn’t strike a ball particularly well. Maybe he just got the rub of the green a bit more and was kind of similar to Almiron during his purple patch.
 

I know he’s young and he was playing for a crap Everton side. But he’s never seemed to score many other than last season I don’t think? 
 

Makes up for it in other ways, of course. His pace kills teams, his workrate is off the charts and infectious. He has also got a lot better at varying his game. He’s much better back to goal than he was and throws the odd trick in or drop of a shoulder to creat space for himself.
 

He looks really dangerous when he drifts, as well. When he pops up with a bit of space in central areas you can see the defenders he’s up against visibly shit themselves (not literally).

If you could merge his all round play with Barnes’ finishing you’d genuinely have one of the best wingers in world football  

[Smal]

he should be scoring a lot more goals at the back post, especially when Murphy’s in the team. It’s about timing of runs more than finishing half the time.

 

Been really disappointed by his output this season tbh, but thought he played well overall yesterday at least.

could see why Howe put him upfront when Isak went off, a couple of scrappy goals will do him the world of good.

 

Would still rather see Barnes one on for him and not Murphy though

He was pushed as he went for the header  he had?
