Civetty Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Don't want to be too harsch on him but I don't like that he don't seem that quick in his decision making. I think he is very good when he got time with the ball and can clearly see his options but I often think the play goes too slow when the balls get to his feet and we need to be quick on the transition.

His first time ball for Tonali’s 2nd chance last week did have much time for thought tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me rephrase myself then. I don't think he is slow in taking the decisions when he see the options, as in before receiving the ball. I do feel however that he is a bit slow on register what is going on when he doesn't know where his team mates are. I guess the situational awareness that the most elite players have is what I feel that he lack little, but maybe I'm just bitter cunt that imagining myself stuff.

LFEE Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 11 hours ago, Rod said: Two tackles that were totally blown out of proportion by the commentators. He's just a poor tackler, no malice or intent whatsoever. Exactly. First one was a little unfortunate (though only seen it replayed once) as the lad seem to run across him and he caught him on the calf. The second one wasn’t even a foul. The ball was there to be won by both players and one of them was a fraction quicker getting to it. Not a foul or a booking but when players are trying to get others sent off which Diaz clearly was it always looks worse than it is. Even McCoist started to back track after he saw the replays. Problem you’ve got these days broadcasters tend to have commentators for certain competitions it seems. All the high end play acting must slowly have an affect on what they see as a foul. Let them commentate on a few lower division games and it might remind them football is a contact sport still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) I'm very high on his potential. That got me too excited and I compared him to Raheem Sterling. I think he has a bright future. Edited August 21, 2023 by Viana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 20 minutes ago, Viana said: I think playing Man City drew me to this conclusion, but I think he might become our Raheem Sterling. We've signed him for a fee that was hailed as ridiculous but we see the potential to hone a young Englishmen into a direct and dynamic forward that gets into goalscoring positions regularly. He has a lot of ground to put up Raheem's numbers in his pomp, but with each game I see why we did this deal. We need an English core for a multitude of reasons, and Gordon is someone that is in that top bracket of young English forwards that will get goals. I think we've produced - as a nation - a lot of great creators, but if we can get him to become a finisher we'll have a great player on our hands, a slightly quicker version of what Jarrod Bowen offers, who himself would have cost double what Gordon did. That might be a bridge too far., but who knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Raheem Sterling was a standout player for Liverpool when they finished 2nd. Close to 40 G/A for Liverpool by the age of 21. And a lot of premier league games and minutes. Compared to Gordon with half the experience and half the contributions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) On the last two pages he's been compared to Laudrup, Rooney and Sterling ffs (oh and also ending up better than Grealish). From one extreme to another and probably back again after a couple of poor performances. Edited August 20, 2023 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t having a go, just the chance I mentioned immediately sprung to mind when reading your post. I think what you have said above may improve in time the longer he spends with his team mates; or he just might not be that level - only time will tell.

It was also a bit sad that Walker was almost all alone in that side. With attacking fullback we could have either created an overload or forced City to reshape a bit.

I reckon some of it will be Liverpool bias in commentators willing our players to be sent off to even up the Mac Allister red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the second foul the ref was exercising the unspoken principle that a foul for a second booking needs to be a bit more serious than for the first. It's usual practice and I've no problem with it. Eddie was wise to take him off shortly after. On his general play, I think his first touch isn't great and he needs a bit of time and space in which to make use of his pace and change of direction. He may be better used against a weaker team, and Anderson could be the better option against the stronger ones.

Stottie Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Today's stat of the day is that Gordon leads the league in being fouled. Nine times so far, once every fifteen minutes. Bruno is second. Gordon's been called for second most fouls too, but just five. Stats from fbref. Some fans make claims about Gordon's temperament, but he's in the wars all the time and mostly on the receiving end. I'm sure Liverpool will kick him and try to get into his head at the weekend, they did it before when he was at Everton. That season, 21-22, he ended up seventh most fouled player in the league in just 25 games' worth of minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I hope he'll be the nasty Gordon in this one. The one who constantly gets fouled, feigns injuries, gets their players booked and generally winds them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a club that is supposedly prides itself on being the heart of the community they have a criminal lack local players. Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that they have been quite close at times to breaching the homegrown rules (possibly in Europe). Slight deviation but related, TransferMarkt stats actually show that we were the only club in the league that gave more than 50% of total minutes to domestic players. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/legionaereeinsaetze/wettbewerb/GB1/plus/?option=spiele&saison_id=2022&altersklasse=alle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
