andycap Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Gordon has to wait simple as that. Early in the season gordon was terrible and Barnes couldn't get a sniff. He's a threat with his creativity directness and top class finishing. It's a necessity as isak is not playing great of late and his goals have dried up.

Looks like he feels he's finally getting a chance to prove what he can do but only thanks to the Gordon suspension and injury. But there's a danger we piss him off further if he gets shunted to the right now Gordon's back if they are on the pitch at the same time. Gordon gives us a lot obviously with his relentless pressing and generally possession. But there's no doubting Harvey is clearly the better finisher and more potent goal threat. But Murphy has been putting up the numbers as well this year so for now on current form it should be Gordon coming on for either and probably on the right if Barnes is still on the pitch. Be interesting to see what Howe does in the next few games. I doubt Barnes gets the hump about moving to the right. I think he really just wants to play more. He seems perfectly fine shifting over, and I would not be in the least bit surprised if he starts to perform at a high level down that side if he gets more appearances there. I trust him more to do so than I do Gordon down that right side, as Barnes combines better with the players around him to work himself into good positions. Gordon tends to be more aggressive driving forward with the ball into space and loves cutting inside when he does so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not playing well mate was lucky he scored against Brentford and fucked up a chance to score or thread Barnes in aswell. Surely people can see this.

For me he is first choice on the LW atm, but I’d say the game against Villa next weekend is more important. If he has the energy to start both then great.

PRL Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I’ve really enjoyed the link up play between Barnes and Tino. Would hope Gordon has seen this and will be a little less reluctant to use the overlap with Tino and Hall in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 10 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: I wish there was a system that we could involve both him & Gordon but it'd probably be Joelinton that you take out which takes a lot from there. The block of games we've lost at home type games to the likes of Brighton, Fulham, West Ham where we struggled to break them down, maybe? Could he play down the middle to rest Isak when needed? Wilson looks well off it. Obviously there’s Osula. Gordon no good central for me. Like you say. Can’t see the pair of them starting otherwise.

Not a traditional 10 I guess, but could see Gordon's pressing alongside Isak and maybe doing some of his defensive work being a decent weapon.

I’m sure this is a coaching instruction as well, which will apply equally to Gordon when/if he comes back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
