Dr.Spaceman Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Right.... LFG Looked like a different player tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 He was our best player 2nd half. I reckon he could have a cracking season once we find the right balance with him in the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Definitely looked a lot sharper. Obviously confidence-wise after the euros he’s on cloud nine. He’ll be useful for us out wide and as a number 10 this season. Nice dribbling and passing. Looking forward to seeing more from him this season.

JP Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Razor sharp 2nd half. Be interesting to see if he plays majority of his games LW or RW this coming season. I think he's a lot more comfortable at LW receiving the ball back to goal and then drifting across the pitch. Seems to beat players for fun that way.

Aiston Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Showed the difference already being match fit makes, looked a class above due to it. Edited July 19, 2023 by Aiston Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magvicar Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Anthony Gordon looks in top shape and a little pre-season extra from Eddie and he will be flying this season, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yeah I’ve got a really good feeling about this kid. Like he’s on the cusp of a breakout season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Was getting way too much hate last season; is it just his face that people don’t like about him? In his limited appearances for us he’s not been terrible or anything. Big fee, sure, but he’s still really young and (save getting a bit miffed after being substituted off that one time) he’s conducted himself very well while he’s been here. Lad’s got pace, desire and the willingness to improve, hope he puts it all together for a great upcoming season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit of that, but I think more the fact we paid £40m for him and he didn’t exactly blow the doors off the barn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) There were plenty of odious comments about his appearance on here. Found it really disappointing. Edited July 21, 2023 by Vinny Green Balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 He was also arriving from a basket case of a club having worked under a manager in Frank Lampard that is closer to Bruce than Bielsa. He said himself he was nowhere near fit enough and given how in-form most of our squad was I'm not shocked he didn't hit the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think this upcoming season will be a better indicator of what he can/ or can’t do after having time to get his fitness levels up. I hope he does well.

Lotus Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I want him to be confident and feel like he belongs in the team. Then we’ll see what he’s made of. He looks too good for the U21s. Great sign. Hope very much to see that translate into him stepping up to the level required. Best of luck to the lad. Hope he has a great season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - it’s worth most people thinking about how long it took for the players to improve under Howe initially - it took about three months for Howe’s training to really kick in fitness-wise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as though he has that sense of belonging to the team there now. Obviously was very ropy for him when he first joined from his home town club the way the their supporters were going on, bunch of tw*ts they are, but just looks like he’s looking forward to the season ahead. Looked very sharp against Rangers. Expecting to see more of that in the coming games before the season kicks off. Couldn’t be any more confident following the success and player of the tournament for the under 21s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
