break from what? He's a young guy not a seasoned vet.

I don’t think he’s in a huff or anything, I just think he’s not fit. Last season he was going into it on the back of a preseason with us and a tournament with the England U21’s where he played every game. He’s had the complete opposite this year.

hopefully he gets a start for england, puts a good shift in and gets rave reviews.

will do wonders for his confidence.

What's up with this dude?

 

Looked immediately better on the left. Is he sulking that he has to play on the right?

Defo tried to turn it on when he moved sides. As though he was making a point. People said it after the Southampton game that he was huffed and got telt it's bollocks

He blatantly is.

No idea why he came back so late with having played so few minutes. 

[The Butcher]

He's just not match fit yet.

he's somewhat limited as footballer so when the output's lacking it looks worse than it might do with other players.

 

needs to put some work in during the break

 

Left foot, right foot, headed goals, pace, great strike, clever runs, tracking back and tackling, nice passes, footballing brain...

Not so limited tbf.

Again not looking “unsettled”. Hopefully we’ll see more of what we’ve come to expect from him soon. 

 

Don't know what you're talking about. That's clearly the emotionally pained grimace of a lad that's already got his January move lined up. 

[kingxlnc]

Probably missing his best mate Anderson that’s all

He's putting the graft in, it's blatantly the lack of any kind of meaningful pre-season, he looks well off it.

Eddie was asked about Gordon in the presser - a question put to him by Luke Edwards

 

Howe basically said he’s had just 2 weeks of pre season when normally you need 5 - they are trying to get him up to speed during games which isn’t ideal - they’ve tried to leave him on a bit longer just to build up his fitness 

 

Same applies to a few others - they haven’t reached the fitness levels they need to

Everyone needs a break from their job, both physically and mentally. He didn't play in Germany but you can't exactly call it a holiday, especially mentally.

[Lotus]

He’s improving bit by bit each game. He’ll get there.

Also Howe said pre-match that he is looking for much more to come from everyone both technically and physically. Gordon did look exhausted when he sat on the bench, hope I was just an idiot jumping the gun with those sulking and lazy comments right after the match.

So is Tino.    

[Bossman]

Come on, no branded carrier bags 😁

[SteV]

He gives absolutely fascinating interviews like:

[nemtizz]

Southgate is such a clown. 

[gbandit]

Good interview from Gordon, gives me a lot of confidence that Carsley’s going to be a coach that lets the players express themselves more 

[Likelylad]

Superb man management there Gareth. It’s the arrogance that gets me. The left side was absolutely wasted and it was crying out for someone to drive into and utilise it. 
 

I’m adamant it was the interview he gave where he actually spoke complete sense and didn’t just trot out the standard platitudes. 

[80]

Safe bet that Southgate isn't on Gordon's Christmas list  Quietly destroyed his managerial practices there. 

 

Pretty clear he's been affected by all that, with Liverpool bubbling away in the background at the same time to top it all off. Optimistic that this latest England trip will help hit the reset button - having both Eddie and Carsley rock solid behind him will do wonders.

Not to dwell on this too much but you could apply most of this to Jacob Murphy, I'm not saying they're equivalent so we can leave there.

 

I'm big on technical ability, the likes of Tino, Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Tripps, Schar, Hall amongst others.

 

Players like Gordon who aren't overly blessed with that will tend to have lower floors and subsequently look worse when off form.
