agree our system is dogshit and mcavoy is a useless cunt but think only thing i've agreed with him so far is gordon wasn't what he needed at that time.

Seen a few comments today using it as another pointer of of how shit mcavoy is and actually think on that one he was right..if he's sticking to his guns.

anyway carry on...mcavoy out and all that

We beat a lot of Championship sides to the loan signing of Gordon. He was one of the very few positives at the end of Neils time in charge.

Frankie's treatment of Gordon was poor. Frankie set us up to play one way, and one way only after a few games. Even in games that had no bearing in our league status, he refused to change tactics, he refused to give youth experience.

For Gordon to now be a regular first team member at Everton, and starring for England Under 21s, it's a disgrace Frankie wouldn't play him in meaningless games.

Does he talk about his time at North End in that?

No mention whatsoever with 5 minutes left to go. He's being led by Neville's questions though.

My God he's a mature boy. I had a bad impression of him from when he was with us (the perception that he thought he was better than being at PNE) and some of the stuff in the press about when he left Everton.
My opinion of him has totally changed after this. Seems a top professional.

Football-wise, he looked absolute class to me on the available clips on YouTube.

I don’t watch MOTD. Does he still take too many touches?!
 
I know why we didn't change a whole system for a young loan player, as it would have gone down like a lead balloon in the dressing room. But it does make you wonder what might have been.

He deserved more game time at the very least. Too many egos involved I think.

How dare you question Sir Alex of Neil (Tactical genius TM).

Started all of his games at PNE under AN. Arrived half-fit too remember, and didn't get through 90 minutes at any point here (and only twice earlier that season for Everton). Frankie left him as an unused sub in those final 5 games.

Although all our recollections of Anthony Gordon was from watching it at home, you could tell he had talent, but clearly this rise to the top (as you can tell by posts earlier in the thread) wasn't expected by most.
 
The rumours were he was saying he wasn't 100% ready to be playing and Neil lost it with him. By that point Neil had completely lost it anyway and was a shadow of his former self. I don't blame any young player for saying they aren't right, especially when the club they are loaned to are nothing but a stepping stone.

I've done great on FPL this year as Newcastle are as close to a second team I've ever had, watched him early doors and was blown away. Threw him into midfield and it's been a breeze. Cracking player, love the 'i'll take on everyone' attitude.
