Lush Vlad Posted September 12, 2025 Share Posted September 12, 2025 16 minutes ago, Yorkie said: I don't think it's misguided optimism because I'm not saying Gordon will lace Isak or Wissa's boots. But against Villa his play from that position wrought a red card from their CB, and he was fantastic against Liverpool until the moment of madness. The lad has a significant amount of raw talent so I wouldn't rank turning him into a competent CF as Howe's greatest ever challenge, like. He’s busy and makes some intelligent movements at times. But he isn’t a natural finisher at all, he never strikes a ball that well. I don’t think his passing or link up play are up to much and he is crap in the air. He just isn’t a striker. He needs to get back to form on the left somehow. As he has been off it for a good while now IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'm not saying I expect him to be brilliant (you'll see my initial post on this started with "absolute disaster if true"). I just said I think Gordon will take responsibility, and I have some optimism that he can grow into the role if he plays it a lot. Clearly he needs to improve certain aspects, not to mention his discipline. Don't agree that he has fundamental ball-striking limitations. He's no Barnes and favours the timid placed shot too often, but he's scored some pearlers for us too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted September 12, 2025 Share Posted September 12, 2025 You can limp off with an ACL like. It's hardly an impact injury if he's not going to be fit for Wolves. Fearing the worst. It's our season over with if it's a bad knee injury like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted September 13, 2025 Share Posted September 13, 2025 Can't blame the club but it would be fair to say that it would set the position I already had on selling Isak this summer in stone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted September 13, 2025 Share Posted September 13, 2025 Really think the lesson would be that we should have intervened to prevent him playing anything more than very limited minutes on international duty after no preseason. Hard to think that didn't greatly increase his susceptibility to injury. How feasible it actually is for clubs to do that I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted September 13, 2025 Share Posted September 13, 2025 He slipped on a bad pitch, I don’t think a pre-season would’ve helped. If it really is ACL it’s just staggeringly bad luck (and a fucking joke). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted September 13, 2025 Share Posted September 13, 2025 If there’s discomfort in his knee, a long flight from Africa wouldn’t have been ideal but bit limited what we could do. I’d say best case scenario it doesn’t need surgery and it’s strained the ligaments with some swelling. Out similar length to Ramsey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
