Anthony Gordon

Frankieball has no need for players like Gordon.

Basically been tough time for him. Had several offers but chose here thinking he would get a lot of game time.

Did someone not tell him that AN doesn't play attacking forward thinking youngsters until they've had a couple of years sat in the stands to learn their defensive duties? 😉 Needs a new agent in that case!!
 
No end product.

Got ability but we're not a good enough team to carry prospects and allow them to fire blanks.
 
Hasn’t worked out for him but you can’t come on loan and expect to be playing.

People seem upset that he isn’t starting most weeks but why? In two of the five start he did pretty well. He looked like a lost boy in the match against Millwall.

Does he have enough ability to make the top. Personally I can’t see it.

I thought that when we had Welbeck and Carroll on loan.

Really? Welbeck only played 8 times for us because he was injured and scored one of the best chips I’ve ever seen. Was always going to make the top.

Carroll is a different case. Yes he has done well. But he has only scored double figures in the prem once. Has he made the top though? Was a panic buy for Liverpool then quickly palmed off to another team. He has 51 prem goals in his career. Pretty shocking if you ask me for a 32 year old striker.

His career has been pretty demolished by injury, but he was an England striker with good reason.
 
Carroll was 18 when he was here to be fair and didn't have an ounce of muscle on him.

Even Harry Kane had some dodgy loan spells when he was young.

Can't judge Gordon on his time here, it was a bad move for him and for us, we just don't play with any real width to let him excel and we needed instant results which he didn't deliver.
 
Alex Neil pretty much said he doesn't suit the long ball game with plenty of runners (FM has been successful recently but its still 'hoof it up to Ched' mostly) . He takes too many touches, etc. Such a waste. It was seen as a coup to get Gordon and he obviously has some skill but we never gave him enough time to properly judge.
 
long way from ready for me, decent experience for him but feel hes another season long loan away somewhere before he might come good..even then not convinced he'll become a regular at everton
