2021/22 Anthony Gordon

Sod off lad.

Like I said, I love him. I love his passion for the shirt, and he's the only one who actually seems to care. Well, compared to the overpriced and overpaid divas elsewhere on the pitch.

But in a relegation battle, we can't afford to do stupid things like today. We weren't getting any kind of decision after that dive, not even a stonewall penalty. We know the refs are against us, so why give them ammunition? We could've left that dump with a point today, but we didn't. If we'd scored first, that would have rattled them. Even Frank seemed irritated by it.

If we go down, I hope he stays, because he's the only player that we've had since Wazza that actually looks like he wants to be here.

Of course mate, love the Wazza bit as well to make yourself sound like a proper bloo.

Sitting in your ma's boxroom flicking beans off your chest hoping it lands on your big life-size cardboard cutout of Klopp you massive plum.

Yeah mate, massive Kopite me. I went sitting in the Bullens for years just to keep up the masquerade of pretending to be an Everton fan.

I think he'll be one of the first to have offers coming in for him.

End product isn't there yet, but his touch and close control have improved massively, and he really is lightning across the grass.

I said a few months back, the likes of Bayern and RB Leipzig will look at him. I reiterate that. Hes very good.

Has that ability to run with the ball like Barkley used too

I'll probably be in the minority here, but I'm just going to say it anyway.

Gordon's pros are that will give 100% every game no matter what. We'd probably be in a worse off position without him. His work rate in his own half is second to none, and he gets us going direct really fast. His passing generally speaking is good too, and he can win fouls.

Godron's cons are that he has no final ball. He'll kick it into the opponents legs, or fall over or when he should try to get past someone try to win a free kick, or crosses over them. I think he's actually wasteful. DCL/Richarlison barely scored because Gray, Gordon and Iwobi barely provide any service. Since the Leeds game, we just don't look like we're creating any chances.

Now I'm aware he's young and ahead of other kids playing, but I do think Lampard should have been more selective rather than playing every week, perhaps Gordon should have played in half the games and maybe come off the bench the other half.

While we're talking about Gray and Iwobi, Gray is basically a second Gordon and also doesn't create anything, but will run around and do defensive work. Iwobi is also similar, but perhaps has a little bit more creativity and can play a thru ball at times. We had Townsend who we should have used, and Deli is far more effective and comfortable on the ball. Deli put the ball on a platter for Iwobi and if he went a little earlier, we would have equalised.

lol hold your horses now; he’s not that good

 

[MACCA75]

Needs an end product that isn’t throwing himself on the floor.

 

[Cels]

Anthony Gordon needs to learn to stay on his feet or be more convincing with his dives. I have no problem with players diving, as it's part of the game, but do it properly.

Thought the coverage of him was a disgrace to be honest. There’s a young English player come through the academy, fought for a place in the first team against more expensive options, and has been our best player this season.

Straight from the offset in the derby Tyler’s first comment is ‘he’s not very good but he’s extremely quick’. Then Carragher starts his agenda on Gordon being a diver from the first time Alexander Arnold pulls him back (which was a foul). Ok he made the most of contact in the box for the first pen but there was contact and it’s nothing more than you’ll see every single attacker do in the league (an art mastered by Salah and Mane), yet immediately Carragher was giving him the Richarlison treatment.

At the end of the au there was a young English attacker giving Liverpool more problems at Anfield than the majority of the league has managed and all sky had for him was a character assassination. Classless from that kopite infested rat ship.

Yep just like you said you'd rather have DCL than Kane.
There's nothing like over rating our own players.

Let's have it right. Gordon is talented. Nice touch, good control , great pace and good attitude.
But he doesn't get his head up for a final ball and his finishing is woeful.
Can he improve ? Of course he can but to suggest that he's another Kingsly Coman or Serge Gnabry is delusional .

 

[f.t.r.s]

Annoys me the amount of people buying the RS medias bias against Gordon...
He DIDN'T DIVE!!!!
He made the most of the contact and was definitely guilty of making it theatrical but end of the day he was clipped..
Their front 3 have made a career off getting decisions for even less than that

 

[Axlswhk]

No issue with his dive as long as it is convincing enough to win penalties, but yesterday effort was embarrassing.
