Big Geordie Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 One things for certain - Gordon's place in the first XI seems assured, regardless of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTONEW Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 It seems like insanity to not play either of our recognised strikers...but maybe Howe is thinking they haven't done enough in games anyway (like coming back to help out etc). See if Gordon can do better. Might be a genius approach. Dunno. See how the game pans out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenlau88210 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have a feeling Gordon will play a blinder tonight, and you guys will eat some humble pie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED209 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Why the hell is Gordon up front? The useless shyte got himself sent off last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 3 minutes ago, nufc123 said: Its ridiculous having both strikers on the bench. It's Liverpool away so I'm expecting nothing regardless. We'll see how it pans out and whether it's something we can use in other matches this season. We've done it a couple of times against Arsenal previously and it's worked really well.

andycap Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Keep howe away from the window signings in the future please. Three strikers on the bench and doesn't play any of them. 😂 Osula up top would be better than Anthony the scuff gordon.

Lush Vlad Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Also, just to add. Szob dominated Barnes last game. So I hope we might at least have some fluidity in that front 3. Especially as Elanga has looked better on the left the few times he’s attacked down that side for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Feel like I'm in upside down world with Gordon tbh. I've spent months saying how he's been really poor and getting away with murder, suddenly he's found a bit of form and loads of people hate him.

Erikse Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I get the choice of Barnes and Elanga at the wings, but then I'd bench Gordon and play Wissa instead. Seems like benching Gordon is never an option, though. I don't want to say too much now, because I would look silly if Gordon scores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I’m more concerned with Trippier than anyone else tbh. We really should have signed a fullback this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true, with one caveat, two of the said front 3's short passing is some of the worst I've seen from professional players, misplaced 5/10 yards passes that do my brain in. Hope you're bang on though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
