I do see Gordon's performance in the tournament as positive. Even if England ends up winning the tournament, he can opt for the MVP of the tournament, something that players like Fabian, Thiago Alcántara, Ceballos, Mata or Fabio Vieira have won in recent editions. But I think Gordon needed this boost of confidence and adrenaline after the very difficult months he's been through, first at Everton living through the relegation situation, then the criticism for leaving the team and then the bad luck he's had at his first months here, with some painful episodes like those substitutions soon. I don't see negative aspects of him putting together a great performance and the physical issue doesn't seem like such an important problem to me. You're a real sunny day kind of guy, aren't you?

PaddockLad 14610 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Maybe one of the reason’s we’re chasing Barnes is Gordon’s season will soon be entering its 11th month?… difficult to think he’d be ready for the first champions league game. Also agree with whoever said he may well up being the utility forward ie he’ll play anywhere across the front three edit: that mad U21 tournament that Steven Taylor played in, there was a penalty shoot out when he had to two fuckin pens on one leg as he’d been injured and it ended up 18-19 or something?? I remember watching that in the pub, was it on bbc2 or sky? I notice these games are only on the UEFA app now Edited July 6, 2023 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego21 1997 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 4 minutes ago, The Fish said: That you're positive, optimistic. In this case, yes. Because I don't mind Gordon coming in a little tired. In the end, for the moment, he is not an indispensable starting player who is going to play 3,000 minutes this year. Or at least he doesn't have that obligation at first. He can wait a bit, recover his form, rest, and for the attacking front we have many options to rotate. I always remember when Atleti signed Kun Aguero in 2006. He played all the games in 2006-2007, but he didn't really break it, he didn't stand out, he even seemed a little fat. He went to the 2007 U20 World Cup, Argentina won there, he was the MVP and the Top Scorer... And he came to Atleti and had an absolutely incredible 2007-2008 season... (He scored 27 goals and gave 11 assists and played all matches) It earned him a lot of confidence and establish himself as indisputable. Without resting at all, he went to the Olympic Games in Beijing... There Argentina won Olympic Gold and just 48 hours after winning the final, the guy was in Madrid playing a UCL preview match that qualified Atleti against Schalke 04 later of more than 10 years without entering the Champions League. And the match that he played was unbelievably crazy. And that same 2008-2009 season, he once again had a spectacular level. (He scored 21 goals and gave 15 assists and played every game without problems). He chained 3 seasons playing every game with the club and without rest in three consecutive summers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Tony G has a big game so he comes back full of confidence. Seems we might be able to have him as a third option for the striker role going off his performances there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
