That was harsh on Gordon!

[HughieG]

Subbed at half-time. Why? He was one of the only players that looked interested in the first half.

Great comeback in the second half nonetheless.

I know what you mean. He’s going to be good for us but I think he’s not 100% on the same wavelength as the other players yet.
The change swung the game our way - that is all that matters.

We just have to trust the manager, Gordon looked trickey and should have scored,but the subs paid off. We have to start with Wilson AND Isak imo, we are a much more potent threat when they both play. I would play Isak wide, either left or right, with Wilson through the middle and either Murphy or Gordon wide. I’m worried about Lpool, they will not give it up, and neither will Manu. Can we beat the Arse, would love to put one over on that whingeing, bitter manager of theirs,and finish their title hopes,fingers crossed

Actually I think it might be a good time to play Arsenal. By the kick off time MC can be on 82 points with 4 games remaining and Arsenal 75 + whatever they get against Chelsea midweek. So their mood can be low and they look out of steam.
Also, if you see 10pts difference between Newcastle and Arsenal - they got it in August (15 pts against our 6), so we kind of went toe to toe starting september.
I think we can scrape it out

It’s a good chance for us to reset, mentally. We’ll need a 90 minute performance to get 3 points.

Let’s look at it clearly
1 Gordon in the first 10/15 mins was good but faded after that and missed two really good chances
2 clearly Eddy does not want to risk Isak and Wilson for the full 90 minutes and getting an injury at this time of the season with there injuries early in the seasons and leaving us without a striker
3 Eddy is alternating starting them and it’s working

[bix01]

Plus the Longstaff injury kind of forced his hand from his favoured set up. Gordon puts in a shift and will hopefully grow into our system and style of play after a full pre-season, just not quite in tune yet.

[MidsMagpie]

I agree he was one of our better players in the first half he should have stayed on and Murphy took off for Wilson.

[5under1and]

Just seen this puts a different light on why Gordon was subbed
losing possesion a whopping 17 times in just 45 minutes, around once every two and a half minutes.
He also missed the target with both of his shots, completed just one cross and won only three of his nine contested duels.

[GBruno]

Gordon is a work in progress. Just hope he understands that.

I think it's awesome how the fans have alreadsy taken to him. Everyone seems to want the lad to do well. I can' wait for ther lad to get his first goal.
