2021/22 Anthony Gordon

[spudmuncher]

Our player of the season so far... works hus nuts off always and a proper footballer as well

 

[Bluebonic]

Nothing wrong with a pot belly when you’re 20

I’m with you on that one mate thats what i always used to try and convince the birds!

 

[PhilM]

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure on this lad when he first got in and around the team. Didn’t think he’d ever have the pace and physicality to be a good Premier League player.

Looks like I’m wrong. It’s like he’s doubled in pace and trebled in confidence this season.

Admittedly, I was the same and I'm now more than happy to be proven wrong. He's added pace, strength, movement and composure to his game for a real mix.

I could actually see him morphing into the middle as his physicality increases - I can see him bulking out.

 

[Nymzee]

I’m glad everyone’s seeing the potential now.

2021/22 - Rafael Benitez

Lampard would get this squad playing, and would do what he done at Chelsea in giving the younger lads a go like he did the likes of Mount and Hudson-Odoi We have no good youngsters like Mount and Odoi though.

Did you just see Gordon?

Thats our standard of young player - all fart and nee shiote

2021/22 - Rafael Benitez

I’ll give him a leeway when he makes substitutions. Maybe he can ask some fit-looking fans in the stands? Speedo Mick might fancy a go...

Gordon hasn't scored a single goal for us our fans over rate the lad massively.

2021/22 - Rafael Benitez

I will not blame Benitez for that..............too many players having an off day Pickford Godfrey Digne Allan Doucoure Iwobi Rondon all had stinkers

Absolute nonsense there was a reason he was anonymous in the Championship last season he isn't good enough.

What an actual trumpet lol

He always had pace, what he now has is confidence. The style of play suits him and he is showcasing all his talents.

By pace, I feel as if he has more acceleration and can go up a gear or two, which is confidence as you mention alongside the reading of the game.

He knows how to get past a man, which is a great asset to have.

Spot on.

Some pretty wild hot takes at the start of this thread.

I can’t understand people being so quick to judge a young player.

He’s developing superbly. I really hope this continues, he could be the heartbeat of this side if he keeps it up.

Yes, getting passed a man, something Tom D cannot and never will be able to do

 

[Nymzee]

That’s not his game so that’s quite normal.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Think the pass he does here is really top draw

How he sets his body completely sends everyone for a hot dog
