I don't mean to hijack the thread but.........
Why not go the last six?
Gordon
25 goals and 26 assists
McNeil - 18 goals and 34 assists
One is 24 and the other 25 so not much between them at all you could even argue that Gordon had one inflated season last year and has returned to normal this time and of course a lot of his involvements will be penalties that he dived for.
Last 6 PL seasons?
Newcastle - Gordon P 34 G 6 A 6
Newcastle - Gordon P 35 G 11 A 15
Everton & Newcastle - Gordon P 32 G 4 A 0
Everton - Gordon P 35 G 4 A 2
Everton - Gordon P 3 G 0 A 0
Everton - Gordon P 11 G 0 A 1
Played 150 Goals 24 Assists 24
Everton - Mcneil P 21 G 4 A 8
Everton - Mcneil P 35 G 3 A 6
Everton - Mcneil P 36 G 7 A 3
Burnley - Mcneil P 38 G 0 A 1
Burnley - Mcneil P 36 G 2 A 5
Burnley- Mcneil P 38 G 2 A 6
Played 204 Goals 18 Assists 29
So, Mcneil has Played 50 games more, 6 goals less, 5 assists more.
It's all about opinions, if you prefer Mcneil I find that absolutely mental but your not the only one so fair enough. I'm not a massive fan of Gordon btw, but I think he's a far better player. I don't think there would be a queue of Newcastle fans looking to swap Gordon for Mcneil
Anyway, this is the Delap thread so I'll get back on topic with that
