2021/22 Anthony Gordon

[JimmyK]

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

It looked like he went on intending to start throwing haymakers and then when he got closer and realised that pro athletes are pretty big lads he backed down and decided to be the voice of reason instead.

 

[Piijt]

He got better and better as the game went on. There’s a cracking player developing there.

 

[maccavennie]

Wasnt effective as in creating anything but what he did do was press them really well 2nd half, got some decent blocks in and just ensured we kept Arsenal deep for a sustained period.

Plenty of effort and endeavour

 

[steven]

He was pretty solid and worked hard again. Won a fair few headers as well.

If he’s going to be a premier league standard attacking player though he really needs to provide some sort of threat going forward.

Not sure if he good enough or just needs time

Yep same here - hard to tell at the mo. He definitely has something.

Hard to produce in a team who have been massively struggling as well. Maybe if he gets a goal it would give him the confidence he needs to step up again.

 

[blueconverse]

Think we should persist with him as deffo has potential and importantly pace

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Dont see it with him.

All huff and no puff.

 

[JimmyK]

Never stopped today, can’t fault him for effort.

 

[Milkman]

Great effort today. Young players only get better by playing them.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Offered an outlet on right esp in second half for 20 mins. Pressed well and intercepted passes. Did a good job tonight.

 

[AussieToffee11]

Endearing effort, but a time will come when effort alone is not enough. One thing we can be sure about is he certainly is going to try his hardest to make it.

 

[Papa Shango]

To be fair you are not the best judge of a player are you?

LEAGUE ONE AT BEST!

He has been fine, nothing more than that right now, came in to a struggling side, not embarrassed himself, looks a part of the squad. They can't all be world beaters.

At least with him getting some game time he will be worth something when the time comes to decide if he is good enough unlike the rest of our youngsters who disappear into the "nominal fee" ether.

He's better than Iwobi but that's about it - you can't have an attacking player who doesnt contribute any goals and assists and question why you are in the bottom half of the table.

Him, Rondon & Iwobi were our front 3 against Brentford - that is a league one front 3!!

Of course you can. Don't get conned by the "assist" thing. You are right on him being better than Iwobi but Iwobi has more goals and assists so...

Rondon and Iwobi are fully developed (crap) international players, Gordon is still coming through. Let him develop first.
