England’s Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

No one won more fouls (6) and no one won more duels (10) on Saturday, where Gordon’s work on and off the ball played a key role in our 5-1 win over Unai Emery’s Villa.

After a positive summer with England and impressive pre-season, it’s great to see our £40m man look full of confidence, energy and quality heading into this weekend’s trip to the Etihad.

Premier League's fastest five players from the opening weekend REVEALED

Anthony Gordon comes out on top

Anthony Gordon clocked in as the paciest player with a top speed of 22.14 miles per hour

Burnley centre-back Ameen Al-Dakhil managed to finish second

Wolves' Pedro Neto came third 

Anthony Elanga registered the fourth-highest top speed on his debut for Nottingham Forest. 

Kyle Walker was the fifth-fastest player

 

Gordon was some way ahead of his nearest competitor but still over 5mph behind the top speed ever recorded by Usain Bolt of close to 28mph.

Bolt is going down.

I’ve just realised :lol:

 

Is the Gordon song SUPPOSED to be to the tune of Voulez-Vous? If it is, man what a missed opportunity that we don’t sing in tune :lol:

It is and I do… not sure how you are singing it? ?

AG is the Rooney we missed out on all them years ago. 

 

That's a big shout. Just because he's from Everton? Rooney was a world beater at 18 yrs old. Gordon is becoming a fantastic player but he's not at that level.

Rooney was unique as a young player. Gordon may just take a bit more time to mature. I think he can be truly great if/when he develops better end product.

Truthfully, just hoping more than anything. Just putting my neck on the line. watched the Amazon episode after a few wines and the way they were talking about him got me thinking about when we missed out on Rooney. Glad we managed to tie him down.

I do think he’s got incredible potential, he’s already a very good player, he’s rapid and that’s something that a huge number of good players lack. His flexibility will mean he will always get minutes. Just don’t see any downside to him at all

I think Gordon will be a far better player than 100m Jack Grealish.

That’s a big statement. Grealish is a very good footballer who isn’t quite at the very top for his position. I think Gordon will be more versatile than Grealish, he already is, and he might offer more to the team but to be better than Grealish he still has a way to go

Understand what you are saying, I often think Grealish is somewhat constrained in that City team to some extent. I do think Gordon has something special and once he nails down a position he can call his own he’ll show his worth.

I love that you can see Eddie's coaching on him already. Even just the instictive way he spun back for a give and go from Joelinton for the Tonali goal.

Grealish is really good like. Gordon has looked really promising from preseason but still has to prove (not to knock, I hope he will) reliable end product. The talk about him being that level is a liiiittle premature but all signs are positive right now.

He had one golden chance the whole game and lacked conviction to just hit it. That is the margin at the top level. We basically played what could be a Champions League knockout game tonight. 
 

I think against lesser opposition he’ll be decisive in games.

Just needs to keep heeding the Eddie Howe mantra - never feel too high, never feel too low.

 

By his mid 20s I think he'll be a clinical finisher. But I don't think it'll happen this season, or probably next.

 

It's dramatic how rarely he gets into rows on the pitch now though. Felt like it was every week when he was at Everton.

Thought he was poor. But had no help. Maybe lucky not to get sent off. 

Two tackles that were totally blown out of proportion by the commentators.  He's just a poor tackler, no malice or intent whatsoever.
