2021/22 Anthony Gordon

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Of course every game Gordon has won't be great

He's young and still developing

That's why we as a fan base need to be measured and mature about it, recognising that he isn't going to be amazing every week and that we need to be patient as he continues to grow into the player he will eventually become

To make snap judgments at this stage as to how good he is going to eventually be in either one direction or the next is an utterly flawed stance to take

We need to wait, see how he develops and, most importantly, we need to support him

Anyone waiting intently, bordering on excitement, at the thought of him having a bad game so they come on the internet and demand he be culled do not have the clubs best interests at heart

He's a future captain of Everton. He's still got a lot of developing to do though in order to reach that hallowed status.

I think Brand's may have had a lot to do with him staying here this season.

Maybe. But Brands was busy at that level of the club tearing through it and getting shut.

A post full of backhanded compliments

Sadly a common theme that happens with the younger players. DCL got it a lot as well

The problem with DCL always was that he was solid in all the areas you want a striker to be solid in other than the primary job responsibility of finishing, and it's rare to see that one get fixed. Presumably, credit goes to Big Dunc and DCL's attitude on that one.

I think there's more here than there was with Tom, who never seemed to excel at anything. I'll admit to some concern that he'll catch some undeserved flak that should be attributed to our failings at RB.

MotM for me last night. Used his skills his brain and his body 100%. He wont play like that every week but all power to the lad - he knew his job and he executed really well!

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Kind of sounds like you want it to happen

Like you can't wait for him to fail so you can stick a knife in him

Not at all, I’m expecting him to have bad performances as well as good performances without getting carried away with either.

This is based on what I’ve seen from him so far.

I know quite a bit about Anthony Dave, I'm not prepared to say it on here though.

He seems a good kid and down to earth.

Total gent, fantastic attitude.

I was singing his praises all last season when "the experts" were trying to get shut.

….he has more ability than he’s shown, I just think he concentrates too much on doing the hard work and graft. He’s a talented lad, he strikes a ball sweetly (which is why he takes free kicks) and has goals in his locker.

Still waiting to see his curly wurly, I guarantee it’s there.

Was kind of thinking similar yesterday. It almost seems like when he’s playing with the more full senior squad, he defers to them, whereas yesterday he looked around and knew he had to be a key player and actually play his normal game. Hope he’s getting coached up. Still think he’s got a long ways to go in terms of being a top player for his age but there were some signs that he can keep getting better.

Yeah I know, good for you Dave, you can spot the talent in him, believe me, he's got a lot he hasn't shown yet.

The next Kieran Dowell is he?

Great to see a local lad in there too. He looked devastated when the fans were having a go after Wolves away.

Just because Brandstastrophe didn't like him doesn't mean I was wrong. He's made his way back to the PL after that.


If you dont think Dowell has talent then you dont know about football.
