I thought he did very well. Surprised by comments that he drifted in/out as I thought he was busy and very involved in the attacking play.

 

If he does well against Brentford he will keep the starting spot - that is how Howe has tended to work in the past - if you’re playing well you keep the spot.


TBF, my comments were more about him in general and week to week. The front 3 were all very in and out of the game. Due to how we set up. But I thought they all did well to maximise the opportunities we had. Even if they were feeding off scraps at times.

Won the corner BDB scored from
Lovely weighted pass for Tino to cross for the Isak goal

Isn't a twat like Maddison

Probably about half a foot away from giving Isak his second as well.

He had a cracking game, hopefully he hits some form now and gets us CL. I don't feel its fair Gordon has been starting week in week out even when he's been a bit poor.

If he's happy with his role, we have to keep him. If not, I think we'd get close to what we paid for him at least from someone like a West Ham or Everton in the summer. Not many clubs with quality like Gordon and Barnes in that position. Personally happy with whichever plays.

We’ll need a squad with Europe so he might well stay as he knows he’ll get game time. Interesting to see what happens in the summer.

He seemed to play a lot closer to isak at times, almost like a 4-4-2. Thought it was one of his finest performances so far, should have probably had a goal.

FA Cup winner, League Cup winner, let's give him the full set next season. 

Was he not there when they won the league?

I would keep him left and play Gordon on the right. 


We should him and play him on the left where he’s best. We’ll have a lot of matches between the PL, CL, FA Cup, and League Cup next season.

Yeah, they’re both left wingers. Bring in Europe next season will give him enough games that hopefully both of them can regularly perform at a good level.

The more I watch the match the better his performance gets. It's crazy how much went through him attack-wise and he did everything very well.

It’s almost as if Howe knows a player.

Hasn't been shouted about as much mainly because of the performance of others, but he worked his fucking socks off. Him and Tino down that left hand side just made them worry all game long. Strong, direct, smart. I've not watched it all back but I'm sure he found Tino on every overlap. If he wanted to get to the line as well he got there. Of course he stepped up.

Amazing that our threat all came down our “second string” left-hand side too.

One of my main criticisms of Gordon is how rarely he uses Hall on the overlap.

 

I know Tino is rightly getting plaudits for his performances at LB but I'm wondering how much that is down to having Barnes in front of him rather than Gordon. (Though clearly both are a clear upgrade on Murphy)
