2021/22 Anthony Gordon

[ForeverBlue92]

I honestly think a goal will do him the world of good and he'll relax. We don't know but I'd rather Gordon than Iwobi. he should be getting used from the bench but obviously injuries have meant he is getting minutes. have a bit of faith. If he doesn't kick on he'll be sold no doubt.

I would rather you than Iwobi mate

Like Tom Davies, a player that actually tries to do something going forward and is lamented by our supposed 'fanbase' for looking disjointed among a team of crabs.

V harsh on Gordon, this.

 

[degsy]

I've seen steady improvement, so far good.

I felt sorry for the lad yesterday he gave his all, looked knackered in the last half hour and also thoroughly dejected with the way things had gone. He'll feel it too being the only local lad and Evertonian in our shower.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Obviously he's going to need to produce more in the final third if he wants to really make it at this level. There are good signs though. Let's finally let someone develop.

Gray put 2 crosses in that he could have tapped in if he was getting in there so can’t really say other people don’t provide things for him.

All depends on whether the manager is telling him to gamble and get in the box or whether the manager told him to at all costs make sure to cover the counter attack first. The young uns aren’t getting a look in (except Gordon) because they aren’t as defensively experienced as the plodders who keep getting game time.
When to gamble or not will come with time, I’m sure at the youth levels he wouldn’t have thought twice and would of been on the end of one of them. let’s not forget that if he’s out of position he leaves either a 33 year old right back who’s lost his speed or an out of form left back who is far better going forward than defending isolated, Gordon wants to play so he’s going to be safety first for a little bit longer.
Just how he’s going to get an assist with Rondon ambling about like a concrete slug is anybody’s guess

Can see him getting red in the derby as he is desperate to impress

That’s a fair point but obviously the same has to apply to everyone in that case.

 

[Furey1878]

Watched the videos of the away end letting the team know how they feel. Understandably so of course but in those vids you can see Gordon is the last player to leave the pitch, Coleman has to get him to leave.

Feel bad for the lad as he's probably the least of our problems but will feel it a million times more than any of the other players.

Would absolutely love it if he scores as part of a positive result for us tonight. Can't see it like but that is top of my wish list

Will have done 20y/o Gordon’s confidence the world of good that exchange ?

 

[JimmyK]

He was just the closest one though. Coleman did go over and get between the bloke and Gordon just like he put an arm round him and told him not to worry about the fans spouting on sunday but that wouldn't fit with the narrative so better to use that picture. I don't mean you have a narrative I mean putting it on twitter.

 

[DanEFC92]

Might be wrong but I heard he was shouting at other players but calm with Gordon.

All the top managers allow players a great deal of freedom to enjoy their football and learn by doing... how it seems to me anyway. Benitez seems too controlling to me and will hammer square pegs into round holes ad infinitum, such as Digne who hasn't looked like he enjoys playing at all this season
