Cronky Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 He looks a bit inhibited. I'd like to see a bit more of the angry, snarling tyke that I noticed in Everton blue. Just a teeny bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I've no doubt that after a bit of time under Howe's coaching and once he gels with his teammates he'll look significantly better. That said, I'm not sure I see him ever being good enough for where I think we hope to be operating as a team in the coming years. Be very surprised if he's ever significantly more in a top four squad than a deluxe Jacob Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Been really really disappointing so far from him. Apart from the smart 10 minute debut he's offered, produced and delivered zero. I can make allowances for the change in club and playing philosophy but he currently looks a shadow of the bang average player he was at Everton. Throw in the fact he's already had a strop at Brentford and it's beginning to look like a bit of a rick signing him rather than proven quality for the last 20 games of the season. Far from impressed with him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It was a mistake signing him when we did given we only had a budget for one player.

If signing him prevented us from signing the much-coveted Guarantee McChampionsleague from Fuckknows FC, then I would agree that it was probably a poor decision. I don't think that was the case though; I don't think that signing existed. We signed him near deadline day because he was available at what we (rightly or wrongly) considered to be a good price. It's not relevant to us not signing whatever wild card was knocking around the market which was going to make sure we were more than four points clear of 4th with three games left. In other words I think it's ridiculous to pin any amount of accountability on this signing should we not qualify for the CL. Points dropped at home to Bournemouth, Palace and Leeds and six points given to Liverpool probably has more to do with it. Meanwhile we've just come through a spell of eight wins in nine games so we've actually been pretty canny on the whole post January 30th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not heard about the "missed opportunity" to guarantee fourth from those who know more about the availability of players than the club? If you haven't, the top four thread is going to be an absolute page turner for you if we finish fifth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Whats stuck me in his sub cameos is his lack of fitness, blowing out his arse after just a few mins. He's got a hard pre season ahead of him to find a place in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 He seemed to slow down play too much when he was 1 on 1 on the right hand side. He would then turn back and pass to Trippier. It's almost like he hasn't got the skillset to dribble past a defender with a stepover or quick change of direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I think most fans frustration, and mine in particular is I thought he was absolutely shite at Everton, thought it was mental the fee Chelsea were offering. He was then shit for Everton half the season. Hes done nothing to show me otherwise and it just feels like a wasted signing and a position we will have to upgrade. He's shown no more than Anderson who is 2 years younger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be for his technical ability. He’s very inexperienced tbf. 8 hours ago, dcmk said: A lot of the same comments were aimed at Almiron not long ago. Let's at least give him a pre-season. Almirons had a great season. He’s still not a great player and will never be. Would hope for more ability than that from Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 He looks scared to make a mistake to me. It’s not out of the question that he’s aware a lot of fans are on his back online/social media and he’s terrified of trying something that doesn’t come off which would only increase the negative comments.

Dr Jinx Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It’s not being unfair to say he hasn’t really contributed since signing. But Howe sees it and at some point we will too. Was far more annoyed by Maxi today so not really sure why AG is getting so much hate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajuntoon Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 The wealth of hate for AG on here and through other media outlets is driven by two things - first is on-pitch results, second is an unfounded agenda. Let's be totally honest here. Gordon went from being the wunderkind of a massive club on a major decline to the smallest fish in a newly renovated pond with a fanbase who didn't want him. As a winger who received collegiate offers (small potatoes, sure, but), I would be SHITTING myself to take a wingback on if I knew the moment I lost possession it'd be the only thing discussed for weeks by my own fans. It's getting absolutely ridiculous. Gordon is one of our own now. Whether you like it or not. Let him create. Let him make errors. Let him develop. All these people acting like we should be winning the UCL this season and every young player we sign should be Vinicius reincarnate when we had 5 points in november a season ago. Get a grip for Christ's sake. So ungrateful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
