Ooooppphhhh I was trying to explain recently that he is so good because he has the curled finish but he also has the laces thumper like this Sheffield United one. Seen him hit it like that with his left too. That one is for all the people who think he won't score goals from the right side. Anywhere on the pitch this guy is a goal threat, with his ball striking ability with either foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing so well now that the manager has to figure out how to accommodate both of them even when Isak is fit. It's a headache. We don't know what Gordon's attitude is towards playing on the right. Maybe he doesn't care and still feels he will produce results just as well. If he's not keen though I wouldn't blame him either, as he's coming off a ten goal and ten assist season on the left. Best bet if neither is up for playing on the right side full time is to have them rotate sides each half of each game perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Howe will be dictated to like that and just say aye do a half each Pope fancies half an hour up front as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you compared wingers switching sides to Pope playing upfront makes me pity you immensely. Your football intellect disgusts me. Be gone simpleton!

Holmesy Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 He simply needs to find a way to make it work. We could have one of the most potent front threes in the league in Gordon, Isak and Barnes. I'm sure both wingers would rather play on the left, but i'm also sure Barnes would rather play on the right than be benched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I would look at moving away from the flat midfield and play Barnes off Isak in the #10 role with a pairing of Bruno/Joeinton/Tonali behind against the weaker teams in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue the same but i think there's an element of trying to keep Gordon happy. He clearly sees himself as a LW, he's bloody brilliant there and he wants to nail down that England spot. He also has high-profile admirers elsewhere who would play him in his favoured position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly ? How's that ? When signed much was made of his ability to play across the line, it wasn't mentioned that he was LW who could at a push play elsewhere.

Maybe you're right, it could just be circumstance and history that makes it feel that way. I think it's fair to say he sees himself as a LW though, and not many players are happy playing what they consider to be 'out of position'. Who knows?! Whichever configuration works to get them into the team together, just get it done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that, I have thought that they have that same rangy body type (Gordon a couple of inches taller I’d guess) and both super quick, but can’t think of a time I’ve seen Gordon go outside and put a right wing cross in. He must be able to, strikes the ball so well with pace and accuracy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 On the recent Gordon-Livramento interview, Gordon confirmed LW is his preferred position. Albeit 'happy to play anywhere' as they all say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
