Dokko Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 NUFC playing him upfront and pen taker is some kind of cheap mind tricks to get him to sign a new deal. The DENNIS system in full force. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Bottled it is a ridiculous slant.He had the courage to step up, they fucking hate him there. Awful pen though and his limitation in tight spots around the box is starting to show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Should've just smashed the cunt doon the middle. Pickford went about 3 seconds before Gordon hit it as well. Just a wee glance up in the run up next time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 He played well outside his poor finishing. That pen miss would happen on any occasion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Just keep him off pens Pickford was practically on the deck by the time he struck it, the lads just not a natural finisher and his technique let him down badly when pressure was on, just needed to look up, or if keeping his head down leather it.

Yorkie Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Very disappointed for him and agree with hindsight that it was a poor decision to have him step up, because clearly he wasn't psychologically strong enough in the moment to put it away. But I respect him for going for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Thought he played really well tbf, shit penalty aside. He’s not a striker though. Our weird transfer strategy of buying a 3rd choice striker who isn’t ready to play for the first team is the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 As soon as I saw Pickford jumping and smacking the crossbar with his hands and staring him down, I knew Gordon wasn't going to score. The body language of the two of them was just in stark contrast. I don't think it helped they are former team mates, the pressure will have all been on Gordon.

Yorkie Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 I hate the phrase "bottled it" when it's unfairly applied but, with the best will in the world, I'm struggling to find a better way of putting it in this case. Took courage to step up of course but he's first on pens so the duty was his. He was blowing like he'd ran a marathon before he'd even put the ball on the spot; clearly had built it up way too much for him to be an effective taker.

80 Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Too much to ask, but the perfect scenario would've been him voluntarily handing over the kick to one of the others. Thought he had a reasonable game overall. He was definitely knocked by the penalty, but in fairness I don't think he was swallowed up by the situation, either.

SiLvOR Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 He's the type who will use this as motivation and come back stronger than ever, imo. It was a shit pen, but even the very best miss one now and again. I do think he psyched himself out a bit, but I'd think if he got the opportunity again he'd bury it. Otherwise had a pretty good game. Some nice turns, good link up play and always running. Shame he's having to play as a striker right now, but that's not his fault.

Lotus Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Looked like there might be a possibility of him playing a 10 style role for us if we ever use a formation where we employ one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
