I remember him constantly dribbling cross-field off his wing against Villa in the first game of the season and we had no idea how to handle it. It seemed such a simple move but he was threatening every time, it was infuriating. His sprint stamina is exceptional, he never stops, and now he's getting goals as well. Cole Palmer (who has none of Gordon's athleticism) scores a couple of pens and pundits start engraving the Ballon D'or but Gordon is clearly a far more effective player. Is it his cartoonish face that makes people underestimate him? Or that he came through at Everton? Good video

As a Toon fan I wasn't sold on the signing, but my god, what an unbelievably hard working, talented and intelligent player. I loved ASM, but Gordon is LEVELS above. So intelligent, can play LW, RW, ST and 8/10, he's done them all for us, and been good at them all. He's literally been our best player this season. The fact he hasn't had an England call up is absolutely outrageous, no shade on Palmer but he's literally scored 4 pens, Gordon has got MOTM multiple times, 6 goals from open play, won us pens, got 3 assists, and just literally been our most important player by far since the start of the season.

@badofcheese 5 ай бұрын

I agree and was in the same boat. I feel like even he’s at his peak, (which is unlikely given his age), there’s no reason he would get any worse until he’s mid-thirties. That’s a decade plus of a very dangerous player. As it is, he seems incredibly driven, so I think he will improve. Even another few percent is massive when you’re already amazing. I’m only a few minutes into this video but I’m assuming it’s all about his understanding of space. That will not go away. Once Southgate moves on, he’ll be a staple of the England squad for many years.

@shawnc5188 5 ай бұрын

Gordon’s worse position for Newcastle has actually been as centre forward, which is the position he played at in the U21 Euros (where he was player of the tournament). When Barnes is fit and Minteh gets in the First Team, they are going to run rings around opposition teams, especially with Livermento and Hall as full-backs.

@dclore 5 ай бұрын

The reason he hasn't been called up to the England squad is because Southgate is such a poor manager he wouldn't know how to utilise him and that scares him.

I remember reading so many mocking comments when we signed this lad. And he did indeed have a slow start. But what he's become in a short amount of time under Howe and his team is absolutely incredible. And more importantly, you can just tell that Gordon is genuinely loving playing for Newcastle. It turned out to be a very good match and a very good decision to take a chance on him. We've got a lot of talented, hard working players and he is undoubtedly up there with the very best of them. Even if we had our entire squad at full strength, he's probably the player we would miss the most if he ever couldn't play. It's between him and Trips for sure.

He's been unbelievable this season. Even if you take away the goal contributions you still wouldn't take him out of the starting 11. His work rate is just an absolute joke. One of the most important names on the team sheet and looks like an absolute monster. I need to learn to never question Eddie Howe, the man is an absolute genius.

James Stop giving our tactics away😉 as a Newcastle fan I know or should it be we know what’s going too happen in certain moves😉, Gordon has been tremendous this season and now having Livramento on the left it’s almost identical to Trippier and Almiron on the right with the one and only Bruno in the league threading these balls through at every opportunity he can it’s almost a mirror image and if the opposing wingers don’t track back and help their fullbacks we have the overload we need on both sides, very clever from Howe and just how good a coach he his bringing wingers into the pitch creating space for our fullbacks. Right enough of giving these tactics away now delete the video thank you very much😉🤣 but well spotted anyway 👍👏👏🖤🤍🖤🤍

One thing I'd say about Gordon - is he is a player that very, very few truly believed in, and deserves a lot of credit. I think when he signed for Newcastle, most fans of both the selling and signing club would agree it was for an inflated fee (not that Newcastle fans were unhappy with it - but if we are being honest, it wasnt seen as a fantastic signing.) Now he's really proving himself.

Glad Gordon is getting his flowers man. The lad has been exceptional and has stood up hugely this season. Ask any toon fan and we'll all say the same. He was electric for the u21 (england) in pre-season and continued that into the pre-season friendlies, and has continued it into the league-proper. Deserves a call up to the England squad. He offers something that not a lot of our (england) wingers offer. And this video didn't even go into how good the lad has been defensively, too. (not a criticism of the video, as the video is quite obviously analysing his attacking wing-play).

Anthony Gordon is the bee’s knees. He is one of the best forwards The Premiership has to offer. He is also made to look good in a team which has trust, endeavour and more than a smattering of skill. He’s part of a beating heart. He’s part of the orchestra which is Newcastle United. As such, he is bloody marvellous. Would he still be running himself ragged when the chips were down? Has he the love, loyalty and character of Ritchie or Lascelles? He shines. He is no better than I think. But, he has not been tried and tested. Now, if this is an attempt to get him into the England squad, which invariably consists of players playing in London (or, within an 80 mile radius of London), Liverpool and Manchester, I understand where you are coming from. You want to see our monster recognised. Will the monster, at the heart of our team, be able to step ... down? We all know that the best club teams can tear the arse out of national teams. Stepping down, to play for England, needs a heart and soul willing to shed blood, sweat and tears. Is Anthony Gordon worthy? I think so, but what do I know?

This is why data analysts and scouts at the top level are paid the big bucks. Gordon wasn’t a productive player at Everton, hence why so many people said it was an overpay, but the Newcastle analysts have obviously worked with Howe and given reports specifying these abilities (the pace, movement, intelligence, physical attributes) of which Howe has been confident he can turn into productivity through coaching and the system. It just highlights how good a coach Eddie Howe is that it’s only took 6months of working with Gordon for him to go from a relegation battling youngster to potentially starting for England at the Euros.
