I'm not sure if Howe will do it as he's quite a loyal manager and will probably stick with ASM, but it wouldn't surprise me if this lad starts next week. 

nah, Eddie's brutal man.

loyalty wont come before trying to win.

ASM and Targett will attest to that.

We were too slow switching play. He immediately changed that with his first touch. (My thought at that second: oh, I was wrong he’s good. Here’s hoping…)

 

I noticed that as well. We had some fantastic situations but were undone by unnecessary dithering. Very frustrating since we are clearly trying to switch this up, but it's not natural to players who aren't used to operating at such high levels. Not their fault really, we are asking guys who could barely find a place in our side a year ago to play CL football.

I think he’ll soon be a nailed on starter for at least the remainder of this season. Can see straight off why Howe wanted him. Quick and direct, always loving to move / receive, will chase down everything and looks like he has enough between his ears to make the *right* pass. Howe player all the way.

He's going to be a great option on our left or our right I think. He's got Miggy's defensive ability so could easily slot in with Trippier on the right and obviously better defensively than Maxi and better going forward than Joe. Think that flexibility will really help with us being able to rotate more and continue playing the same way.

Goodbye Saint-Max?

 

As good as he is on his day, the consistency just isn't there. The amount of possession he wastes surely must be on Eddie's mind.

 

If Gordon can just be consistent that alone will be enough to see Maxi on the bench or moved on eventually imo.

 

Gordon looked so positive on the ball, direct as fuck, couple of touches and then a decisive pass or just the simple ball to retain possession. This is where Maxi goes wrong, just never knows when to call it a day and play the easy ball that keeps things ticking. Mostly a frustrating player, occasionally a brilliant player.

 

Gordon should come away from that feeling good, and we don't have the time to mess around giving players a chance that arent performing imo. We need to go all out for a good league finish by using our best players for our style.

 

I love ASM for his unique style, would love him to hang around and come off the bench, but with how were trying to be competive on all fronts eventually I don't see these characters fitting, consistency is the key to winning and he has none whatsoever. Plus bloody annoying injuries.

 

Gordon to start vs Bournemouth.
