2020/21 Anthony Gordon

[roy vernon]

He was ok with two flashes of pure class. Did he do enough to take his chance? Probably not. Did he show that there is a player in there who has a good chance of making it? I think so.

What a pass from flash and good grief ppls.

Clear as day why Ancelotti hasn't thrown this lad in.

Has to do a lot more off the ball.

Needs a spell out on loan.

 

[blueloon]

The lad who has just come on shows more promise and he is only 19 not that age should come into it

Haha, so you don’t even know his name or that he’s 20 , wonder if you even know what position he plays, so hard to take this post seriously.

Got an assist and made a great run which was unlucky not to end up as a goal. It’s clear he needs to improve on certain aspects of his game but it’s great to see his had the confidence and willingness to drive forward with the ball and look to make things happen. Also was good to see him trying to get back and help Digne out.

 

[maccavennie]

Started off great then crawled right back into that shell of his.

 

[Quadvod]

He’d gain more from going on loan and playing regularly imo

 

[arch stanton]

started off well but they soon worked him out and quietened him down

He's not ready to be in the first team week in, week out and a loan might be the best thing for him at the end of the month...

But he really wasn't helped by that midfield today, nor by the fact Digne was rusty as hell. We were terrible at getting the ball up to him, Iwobi and Tosun for most of the initial 90 mins and he obviously doesn't have the license to roam in the way James does to go looking for it.

On balance, he showed his talent today and he probably showed there's more work to be done. He is only 19 though and he's only got 14 senior appearances to his name.

He wasn't in the game much because the midfield had no control to feed him but provided one of the two bits of class in the game with a ball to Cenk.

 

[nsno-chris]

Not playing because he’s tactically not good enough. Has the talent but needs to improve his mental awareness and concentration

This 'loan deal' stuff: it's for people who dont like a player with a bit of flair but cant bring themselves to say that, so say the Championship might be the making of said player.

He did more in one move today than nearly all his team mates put into that whole match. Digne was about as usefeul as a chocolate fireguard linking up down the left (and is clearly rusty) and offered no help to Gordon. That's a decent appraisal of today.

Digne has just had surgery.

Bore off you wum. Find a bridge.

Thought he was better than Iwobi. Iwobi was awful.
