One week where he’s not Pele and the knives are out

Standard Everton

He been Pele the past 7 weeks?

 

[kenada_blue]

Personally think at this moment you'll get more out of him as a sub

Maybe carrying a knock - poor today - not like him at all.....he will return to his good form ....

Still should have sold and replaced DCL & Richy with the proceeds imo.

Onto the next game we go.

Poor today

Gordon is suffering from second season syndrome (as expected). Defenders know how dangerous he is and he getting closed down quicker and marked. But as a result, other players have more space.

It's a squad game so I won't worry too much about his form. It's a far cry from last season when we only have 1-2 danger players. Now we have 3-5 players who are capable to pick up the attacking responsibilities.

Gordon's off the ball running is still important because he is still very dangerous if allowed space. He'll pick up some form later on (I hope).

He needs to get to Gray's level to be anywhere near excellent in games IMO.

We can't rely on him and he's young enough to go out of form and find it.

Gray blows hot and cold too. But Gordon has won us points with his goals, that's a level above Gray already.

Mate, we are nowhere near good enough to leave a top draw talent like Gordon out. It's as simple as that. Enjoy him while heres here, before he goes off to an elite team (in all likelihood).

Hes got 2 in 7. That translates to 10 open play goals. If that's a poor 2nd season, I hope he has a poor 2nd season.

Gray has 1 goal against Forest and a goal in the cup which equals Gordon's 2. He's also created more chances.

So 1 goal in the league then?

Hes done well Gray and looks sharp, but still hasnt matched Gordon's goal tally. Ultimately they both play. Gordon is at a level where he is undroppable for us.

Needs to get fitter, and wasnt at his best today, but put a good shift in defensively and won some great tackles.

By 1 goal on the back of the fact Gordon played...up front. Since moving out wide created zero, scored zero.

We don't create enough. And he doesn't do enough apart from run into players and pick up yellow cards (he's on 4 already).

Trying to rely on him every week is gonna give because there's options lamps can play IMO. And I think Gordon would be more effective off the bench with 30mins to go rather than a starting

Who says he's top draw? Chelsea? 90% of the fans would've driven there for the price they were touting

Chelsea's recruitment team, and others who bid. The experts.

You dont have a lad of Gordon's quality on the bench mate. He is our best attacking threat, and has to start where possible.
