[BGRM]

AG starting tonight. Hope he plays a blinder.

I reckon he starts you know. I think Gareth actually likes him.

 

I've been convinced that he will ever since he went straight in against Brazil. He fits straight in, no problem.

Tournament winner if given the opportunity. Other fans are so blind to him. Grealish and Maddison were dropped because Gordon is just a lot better than them. When I think of Grealish or Maddison I think slow, tippy tappy. Gordon is just all out pace, running back and forth. Never let’s you rest for a second. Inside your man, outside your man. Assist king. Worldie of a right foot.

I agree on Grealish, he’s a shadow of the player he was before and even then he didn’t relentlessly impact the game like Gordon does. Maddison is a great player but he’s essentially a playmaker and Foden is leagues ahead of him in that role

Good on him, I think he's got a big game mentality. Hope he gets a chance to make an impression.

If it was him vs Grealish decision, regardless of what Talk Sport (and guests) think, it’s obviously the right choice. Here’s to two player of the tournament gongs in a row 🤞

Found this very interesting, especially as he's our only player who doesn't seem to be perma-injured.

Have you noticed that he looks like a functioning human now he's away from that scouse shithole?

 

Looked like he had scurvy when he signed .

Yeah he does. Head screwed on. Another good ambassador for the club. Wor Anthony.

[Monkey Alan]

His gait reminds me of Andreas Andersson. As he approaches fullbacks with ball at his slightly inward-pointing feet, he looks like he lacks confidence. Everything looks just a little bit too ponderous... until it isn't. When he can't beat the fullback and turns back towards Big Dan, his little kawaii-girl pivots - inside of right foot plays the ball while the left bends awkwardly inwards - are just like the floppy haired Swede's too. Of course, with wor Anthony it's deceptive, whereas poor Andreas was well out of his depth and knew it.

Great interview on Radio 5 just now if you get a chance to catch it.

Wasn’t sure if he was taking the piss or not about not knowing who we have for the last game

 

[jonny1403]

I’d be raging not getting on the pitch tonight after that display. 

[Adam]

Needs to start the next game. Has the energy to play the whole thing and play other roles up front if needed. 

[HawK]

Looking better and better with every passing game tbh 

[Joelinton7]

Kind of irrelevant how quick he is if we can’t get the ball 

[Chapo]

Off to Scotland with you bonny lad. 

[80]

Bring Richie in on a dayrate to make a phonecall and keep his head straight...

[Norseman]

I’m just glad he’s getting some rest tbh. That pitch didn’t look good

[Superior Acuña]

Bet he’s proper gutted. Love him. 

[LionOfGosforth]

Feel sorry for him trailing out there but the selfish side of me is happy he's getting rest and not out there enhancing his rep still further leading to more unneeded speculation and selling of our players in the media.
