Demanding £100k a week when he’s done absolutely nothing in the game is also indicative of a bad attitude.

I mean has he actually demanded this? Or has it been leaked by the board? Forgive my cynicism, but it looks awfully like Rooney, Jeffers, Ball, Hutchison, Barkley etc.

I mean, it would be ridiculous to pay him 100k pw. But I'm not sure where the info is coming from, and for what purpose?

This kids attitude absolutely stinks. Clearly thinks he has made it and can now just turn up without delivering the goods. The challenge last night warranted a straight red

That challenge was ten a penny a few years ago. Joe Parkinson did 4 or 5 of them a game. People dont half go over the top. It was a firm tackle.

As indicated, if Mitrovic and VVD arent reds, that is not a red. It would have been nice to see if someone else might have put a tackle in last night. Give me a committed player, over one who shirks tackles any day.

All 3 should have been reds.

It was a red, and it's not the first time he's done it. You're not an idiot, you know it was a bad tackle, I'm not sure why you feel the need to defend absolutely everything that Gordon does.

Insult to Joe Parkinson that. Joe was a hard, fully committed player who liked a hard tough tackle and always gave his all for Everton, but he certainly didn't to 4 or 5 of them every game. He was committed to the extent he played with injuries many times when he probably shouldn't have, and is probably paying the price now!
That tackle last night was a coward's tackle - two footed and definitely out of control, and warranted a straight red - as did Van Dijk's on Onana in the derby! Van Dijk's tackle was a coward's tackle as well - he made that tackle knowing he probably wouldn't get hurt but there was every chance he could do Onana some serious damage!

His attitude absolutely reeks. Should've been sent off and has almost looked like he's trying to get sent off at times this season.

Gordon has gone to his head, loves himself too much and thinks he's way better than he is.

Wouldn't start for any other PL team.

Perhaps Chelsea will come knocking again.
 
I don't agree that his form has dropped off. He's never been very good, but he's shown glimpses and that's enough for a local lad of his age, to get a lot of us excited about what he might be able to do. The further you get from his debut, though, without any obvious improvement, the harder it is to believe that potential is going to turn into anything.

Personally I've never been a big fan, and I'd have taken anything over £25m cash in the summer (and whatever Chelsea fringe players we may have been able to get into the bargain). I understand why we didn't, and I hoped at the time we'd be vindicated. So far we have not.

With that said, he's still young in real terms. Time is on his side and, for the moment at least, he has a manager that really rates him. After Saturday there's no footy until Chrimbo. I'd honestly look at sending him out on loan in Jan, maybe to a top flight club in another country. I know the question of replacing him as a squad member will be raised, but I'll leave that dilemma up to Big Kev.

It's a silly tackle to make, and unnecessary. I'm not sure it's more of a red than VVD or Mitrovic, or Tarkowski on Richarlison last season. They are letting a lot more go.

So for me it's a strong yellow, but I'm happy to try and keep 11 people on the pitch.

But Van Dijk got a yellow. So did Mitrovic. The refs have set the standard.

Both of the above were of the ball.

Again, picking random examples of similarly bad decisions doesn't really change anything. It was a very silly and very dangerous tackle. He got away with it, great, but your defence of literally everything he does is honestly quite strange.
