He's great at highlighting contributions from other team members too, it's clear he thinks of himself as part of the group. Top lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Any one else think Howe is ruthless with Gordon ? He seems to play him all of the time and when he gets kicked all over the park he keeps him on the pitch. This might just be Gordon insisting that he plays but he certainly earns his wage.

I think yesterday was a time where Howe, in an ideal world, would have left Gordon on the bench. But if as reported Barnes picked up a knock and had to come off, the only real options were Gordon or Sanusi. At that point the game was 1-1, and I think avoiding extra time was a big factor, so Gordon had to come on really. there are other occasions he could come off sooner or be rested more, but as others have said I think Gordon would want to play every minute possible so I don’t think it will cause any issues.

Gordon for me has an elite mentality. Wants to play every minute and show he’s the best. Always said since start of season, for him to go to that next level to back up his mentality, he needs to add goals. Ones like against Arsenal mid week prime example. Just get in at that back post and score, doesn’t need to be fancy finishes, just get them in the net. Then opposition will be even more scared of him, because not only has he the work rate / ball retention / movement, it’s the goals that scare opposition. The new RW will then have so much more time to impact game too as opposition can’t double up on every key player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 On course to match his G/A from last season. Wouldn't be surprised if he beat it given the form he's been in during this winning run. Isak has rightly had the plaudits for his goal scoring form but Gordon has been almost equally instrumental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave s Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 he’s class.. if i have one tiny nit pick, is the amount of times Hall does the over lap and gets in good space for a through ball to cross, and he always decides to go across the box himself instead, Hall can hook a canny cross in.. still, it’s just a tiny point. he’s quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need to use Hall on the overlap every single time but mix it up please. Hall's crosses are good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally both and Isla score as well demolish Liverpool 3-0. Actually fuck that, Bruno, Isak and Gordon score before Murphy lashes in a very late winner in a 4-3 score settler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was very good apart from losing the ball a couple of times too many. That’s how it is sometimes, not the only one though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If your wingers aren’t losing the ball once or twice during a match they’re not taking enough risks. Such a unique mix of pace, work-rate and winners’ mentality. Love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a criticism in anyway, a free heavy touches and sloppy passes, just stating what happened. He was very good overall. So happy to see him in this form.

Lotus Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I thought a couple of his passes were not good. Really don’t think he has that ‘magic’ to drift in and play as an occasional 10. The difference with Bruno’s pass to Isak was stark. Still, his athleticism and work/team ethic is exceptional. Glad he scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's weird how people see different things. I thought he was frustrating and poor by his standards. Still scored, mind There were some almost HBA/ASM type moments from him with how good his skill and drop of the shoulder was. But he kept running down blind alleys or wanting to drift into traffic all the time and losing possession through over-playing or a crap pass. I do think he wants too many touches at times or seems to be over-thinking certain situations and slowing it down when it doesn't necessarily call for that. I've always loved him when he just gets on with it, makes his mind up and goes. It is what made him stand out so much from ASM when he came in. So much more direct and purposeful. Not a lot of twisting and cutting about with fuck all end product. Nitpicking, though. He is obviously a massively important player for us and he works like a trojan.
