2022/23 Anthony Gordon

[Sheedy's right knee.]

The biggest worry for me is he just doesn’t look fit. I was talking to a fella and we agreed he was blowing after 15 minutes. A major part of his game is his running. If he hasn’t got that he’s limited. He’s not Chris Waddle

At his level of development, he shouldn't be considered an automatic starter when fit. It can diminish his need to work hard and can chip away at his attitude.
Problem is, we don't have many options but McNeill should have started last night after his goal.

He needs to do far more in terms of consistency, discipline, and application. He isn't good enough to be starting every week at the moment. The whole Chelsea business has affected him too no doubt when it seemed that that level of recognition for doing comparatively very little might be handed to him on a plate. And probably too his goals against Leeds and Brentford resulted in inflated expectations.

He has to earn it. Equally he has to be managed with care.

Looked lost and again no end product , suspended for the Spurs game , so perhaps he should give his head a wobble and ignore the hype.

Just remembered the martinelli discourse lol

 

[everton1953]

Should have been withdrawn after 30 minutes. It was like playing with 10 men with his lack of effort.

Started season really well, let's not all destroy him because he has been poor recently. The lad is a kid

Reality is he would have needed an upward trajectory never before seen in a player to plug the gap left by Richarlison. He might get there but he’ll need patience and a few seasons.

This season, we are where most of knew at the start of the season - the wide forward positions are the weakest part of the team. Just have to get through the season with what we have and trust Lampard will have identified this is the area in need of a major upgrade come the summer.

I wouldn't say he's started the season well at all. The 2 goals were good and he looked lively in both those games to be fair, but other than that he's ranged from average to awful.

 

[witchdoc187]

So weak the way Shaw boshed him off the ball....

Shaw absolutely dominated him, he didn't stand a chance

 

[Drico]

This is on the manager. He keeps picking him, but isn't getting performances. Young players are erratic. The manager needs to get more out of him or drop him.

 

[Paul Rideout]

£60m and we should have bitten their hand off, bought Kudus and the Ukrainain lad (and had money left over), but apparently he's better than both combined.

Could end up being one to rival DCL9 > Kane, Lukaku > Benzema/Lewandowski and Sigurdsson > Lampard.

Been rubbish since the transfer window shut and we wouldn't let him go Chelsea.
