England’s Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

Would like for him to get that relentless aggression back into his game where he looked like he was mentally and physically better than anyone.

Really good when he came on. We need to find a way to get him back in the side.

That wild shot aside he definitely looked like the Gordon we know.

I feel like he's got something big in him for the end of this season. I thought today might be the day.

 

But I'm surprised at what people have said here, I didn't think he was very good at all. More in keeping with his early season form - as were most of the team.

I didn’t think he was at his best. But certainly much more like it. 
 

He still has the annoying habit of cutting in and sort of slowing down to survey the play. But it often means the chance for a shot or pass has gone. Especially when he tends to ignore Tino on the overlap. 
 

Was a fag paper away from winning us a pen 2 minutes after coming on. So he was certainly back to contributing in a positive way.

That pass into Bruno for the second non-penalty win was a beauty an' all. Did think he faded out of things after that, though.

If he starts doing the boring stuff he will be a hell of a player. He needs to help out the wing back/team defensivly, and also pass the ball more than try to do everything himself.

His mindset seems elite if you believe all the interviews. His football just needs to match it in terms of consistency. 

 

The winger situation is still a bit of a mess at the club, like. It's such a shit headache to have.

Is it not good to have quality depth in at least one position on the pitch though?

You'd think so. Doesn't fucking feel like it :lol:

I think it's more the fact that we've got about 4 people who can regularly play on the left and only 1 on the right.

 

Things aren't working? Take off Murphy, move Barnes to RW and sub Gordon onto the LW. 

 

I'm not criticising tactics, but I can't imagine that move is a surprise to any opposition manager. Not sure it ever bears much fruit either.

Issue there is you're nullifying Barnes biggest strength. We've still went with far worse over the years but it would be much better if we had a proper right winger as backup, surely.

Could Gordon play more as a #10 to accomodate them both (in a 4-2-3-1)? Play Gordon behind Isak with Barnes left and Bruno and Tonali sitting central?

Could be worth trying while big Joe is injured

Didn't see Arsenal having interest in Gordon, thought they'd go for a proper elite LW, or at least someone different to Martenelli

Yep - he’d cost a fortune for us to agree to sell, and I don’t think he’s a step up from what they have.  It would be an odd move.
