Didn't watch the full game but it was strange seeing a 5 min spell where Palmer was wide left trying to beat a player on the outside, which is not his game and it's exactly what Gordon excels at doing

 

I do think it's stubbornness from Southgate, if he gives Gordon decent minutes and he looks a threat then it makes Southgate look like a bigger doylem

This entire tournament England have played like a virgin who accidentally got invited to a sex party and hasn't got a clue how to join in

 

Gordon would be the booze and viagra to get them going

While I agree and understand everyone's frustrations, I think he wasn't there to be an immediate choice, equally you'd argue for Watkins if you supported Villa, and Wharton was an obvious choice to partner Rice, then there's Dunk/Bowen.

 

Gordon won't be worried, he's just transitioned out of the under 21 set up, been voted their best player,

now hes into the main squad,

probably most of us are reading too much into it.

 

The only risk Southgate has by not trying to utilise and give each player mentioned minutes, is what happened with Ben White of Arsenal, with some players, they just won't be called upon and not expect to be included, with Antony he'll use this to keep growing and proving to himself he's the best.

More worrying isn't that Gordon hasn't been selected yet,

 

but, now Man City are set to join Liverpool in the race to sign him. According to latest rumours. 

 

 

 

So Bruno and Gordon. I’m sure we’ll put the £175m to good use…

I'd file that under bored Sunday newspaper hacks :lol:

What the fuck, that’s just wrong.

Southgate seems to be parking the bus and hoping for a moment of brilliance like yesterday to get a goal. I reckon he should use Gordon and Tony late on to stretch the opposition when they tire.. attack best form of defence sometimes. But don’t think he has the balls for it. Mind you, if he delivers a Euro trophy .. who are we to question his tactics 🤣

He's going to have to win all the remaining matches convincingly and dominantly to not get any criticism regardless of whether we actually win or not. Continue to scrape through and he'll be labelled lucky at best despite being statistically the best for 50 years

Speaking to a Forest lad I bumped into this morning and he noticed Gordon didn’t seem to give a shit during Southgate’s team talk. Wonder if he has been given the cold shoulder for not parroting the party line.

Would understand a bit more if Eze was on fire off the bench, but he’s dished up two proper poor cameos now whilst Gordon had 4 mins, and played a ball which Eze hasn’t done yet.

 

 

 

There you go that's why Gordon isn't getting on.  He played a forward pass instead of playing sideways.

The lad has had his summer wasted. Wish he'd jump on a plane and come home. When he bangs in his 1st goal next season I hope he reveals a t-shirt saying "See that Gareth?". Obviously I'd like it worded more strongly.

Every time I open a news site: "Gordon to Liverpool", "Liverpool move for Gordon", "Liverpool/Gordon/Liverpool/Gordon... etc". Now I'm seeing "Man City move for Gordon" - it's getting really tedious! I know (I hope) it's just lazy journos, but the way the media are pressing for us to lose Gordon is pretty sickening. I have to admit, trust the process or not, if Gordon was sold I'd seriously question our owners, it's not a sale I'd be able to just let slide. I know the excuse would be long term goals/FFP, etc, but after last season he's more than just a player to double your money on.

Or, his agent is pushing for a new contract after a breakout season. Or it's all rubbish. Who knows.

 

But as with everyone, whilst I'd be gutted if he wanted to go and we couldn't persuade him to stay, I'd at least trust us to reinvest any sale in the first team, and not scrat about for a free transfer replacement that we ultimately failed to 'get over the line'.
