Putting aside that total whiff of a cross he put in the first half and his otherwise typical shoddy contribution in possession, his 'marking' of Tavernier for their opener and of Evanilson for the one he should have buried not that long after was a disgrace, yet again. Of course he's injured, yet again, an' all.

He should have signed that contract when it was offered. I can't see a big team spending £40m on him if he's injured more often than not. I really liked him as a player, but not sure it's worth tying him down on an extension if he's a crock.

I thought it was a 'done deal' thst he was off to Man City?

 

 

There's been reports they are looking elsewhere due to his injury concerns.

If he’s done his groin we’ll not see him again this season. He’s not going to be rushing about with a WC coming up. He wasn’t at the races yesterday, always a touch behind everything that was happening.

It felt more like he chose not to attend…

There's no doubting his talent but his injury record is worrying. I was annoyed about the idea of losing him but we need someone who can actually be called upon when needed.

 

Still convinced he's a better LB like

He's been crap since coming back from his previous injury.

Trying to figure out where his heart has gone

He’s not shite by any means but always believed him to be a tad overrated. He’s pretty hopeless in the final third, which tends to be one of the most desirable attributes for a modern fullback. 
 

His pace is a lovely insurance policy but if you can get £50/60m for a right back you have to take it the position we’re in. Not sure we’d get that like, but if we did I’d be very tempted. 
 

Bit of a red flag he’s performed (much) better at LB too.

He used to try to beat defenders and regularly succeed.

 

He doesn't anymore.

 

That is potentially a combination of injury fear, previous injuries lowering his level, the general lack of confidence in the squad and the manager not telling him/training him to be more proactive.

If this lad is staying but not renewing thats pretty bad for us. 

 

Anyone know what the crack is with him? Low key Anthony Gordon thinking he's better than he's shown or not happy living up north?

I think he will renew. Just like Botman - advised by his agent as that’s the best and only option left.

I think it'll take no interest in the summer for that to happen

Add that to his lack of production in the final 3rd and I hope we sell him on and bring in some young fresh potential.

That's how it will probably pan out.
