Why Anthony Gordon Is Now VITAL To Newcastle United

Newcastle United's season is back on track after an unbelievable 8-0 win over Sheffield United. But while there was amazing performances across the pitch for Eddie Howe's side, it was also the biggest sign yet that Anthony Gordon has become integral to the team this season

[@acekinqj4423]

sometimes the difference between a good player and a world class talent is how their coaches manage them... Howe is doing a pretty good job

[@MrKmas508]

Sometimes we just have to admit, Everton is shit.

[@iankemp1131]

Impressive also to see Gordon's interview where he admitted he wasn't good enough yet, rather than moaning about not being played, and that Howe has got him to buy into what he's doing, especially after the row about being substituted. I reckon Howe had reminded Gordon that he has faith in him and that's why he bought him. I wasn't convinced at the time, but kudos to Eddie, looks like he got yet another transfer right. I guess we should recall how Howe developed talent at Bournemouth and brought players all the way up the divisions - easy to take the result for granted but very few manage it.

[@acekinqj4423]

@@iankemp1131 only when English players have this mentality shift can they truly become elite.. most of them mad overrated Buh I really love how he regroup and worked on himself and now the results are looking good, jus hope he stays consistent and humble

[@marcusaurelius49]

We cannot underestimate how much Gordon benefitted from Anderson in that match. They 2 players seem to have a telepathic connection and Anderson was able to put the ball exactly where it needed to be for Gordon to do the damage.

[@wouldbfarmer2227]

To watch these two develop together in the next few months should be a joy!

[@markcorkin8481]

I think Anderson is something special and will only get better with more games

[@mrfoofoo69]

“He understands space better than fkn Brian Cox” 😂😂

[@azinoodhomi4419]

I hope Barnes is okay but the game really changed when Gordon subbed in. As someone who wasn't keen on him last season, I'm extremely happy to see the improvement in his game.

[@GhostNappa2k10]

Current reports are a toe injury, but possibly not a small one as people were saying he left with a protective boot on. Which bloody sucks.

[@JohnKobaRuddy]

Wasn't keen myself, I saw him as petulant and someone who downs tools but he's come on in leaps and bounds.

[@matriquess]

I still didn't watch the whole video, but as a brazilian whom likes newcastle because of Bruno and the fans loyalty, watching Gordon made me think "if he improves his physicality he'll be one of the best" but at the same time, saw a lot of Neymar in him, if he's able to take a little bit of brazilian creativity, he can become one of the most beautiful players to watch

[@3yourself]

His fitness has massively improved and dare I say it he’s starting to bulk up a bit. It looks like Eddie Howe is doing the same with AG as he has done with J7. He’s on his way to becoming an absolute machine at NUFC 👍🏻

[@MThre3]

facts

[@scott8619]

Going to be immense when that second puberty hits at 25. He will be absolutely bossing fullbacks.

[@BelieveMunashe]

The moment Newcastle removed Gordon from the Liverpool match they fell apart and lost the game. He had intense and was causing problems against A.Arnold

[@paulgardner4931]

He is an excellent player this season, he's running rings around the defence 🤙

[@plamen-vt]

Spot on analysis. This is really the best football channel here. My favorite thing about Gordon, as well as Anderson: they both have this aggressive determination to score (or at least create some trouble) as soon as they get the ball. They don't mess around. We need more of this mentality spread among the team, so we can crush defenses more consistently as we did against Sheffield United. Miley is another player which I really want to see play among them. From what I've seen pre-season, he might be that type of player too.

[@gonufc]

It's mad how much better Gordon looks in only 6 months. Whether it's Howe and his coaches or simply a great U21 tournament but even in terms of personality he seems transformed from the Everton Gordon. One thing I've loved watching is he often has this very positive first touch to knock it inside and then carries the ball to push straight at the defence a little more centrally. It's so positive and starts a lot of attacks for us. If he can keep improving technically and improve his finishing then he can really be a top player. *Also, well done for mentioning the Dan Burn run for AG's goal. That gives him the space to take the shot on. No one seems to mention it!

[@Milesg9924]

Ive been trying to explain to all my mates (all none newcastle fans) how good this kid is. Thanks for doing my job for me.

[@xixo4798]

😂😂

[@Okay-buh-bye]

Everton fans are pretty quiet in these comments. Good on the lad for letting his play do the talking and starting to silence his critics.

[@bairdey1140]

Newcastle for mine is currently the best team in the EPL of predominantly English talent

[@kth6736]

When Chelsa offered 50m for him everyone was gobsmacked. Now he is mint...

[@badofcheese]

I mean, Chelsea will probably offer £50m for me in January. I don’t think we can really use that as a barometer of potential.

[@dogseggs2000]

Chelsea offered 100 million for my nan, deal broke down over personal terms, my nan wanted 500k a week but Chelsea wouldn't go higher than 450k.

[@MattJay.]

@@dogseggs2000chelsea took my goldfish for £150m and then sent him on loan to Fortuna Sittard for 4 years 😢😢

[@Pinkybum]

He was obviously good at Everton. Under the right coaching he was going to be great and Howe seems to have done a good job.

[@animateit4642]

He was good but he dropped on the floor alot glad to see him challenging defenders

[@billclarke7893]

Great explanation of AG talents and awareness, he was obviously a good well coached youth player at Everton, but hat’s off to Eddie Howe and his coaches, the way they have stood up to the pressure to play him, after spending so much money, and then to discipline him so publicly, pure quality - post from a WH fan applauding Newcastle’s board for their belief and patience with this project.

[@bowser515]

Really good analysis, you earned a sub. It's really nice to see Gordon clicking in the team. He's been outstanding recently!

[@TheAlphaDingo]

Makes you chuckle even more when you recall Toffee fans cried (through bitter tears) that they had 'ripped NUFC off' for 40m (despite them wanting 65-70m 6 months earlier). Take a player out of that toxic circus and give him a preseason in a proper environment and watch him thrive. NUFC has pulled Everton's pants down and clapped those blue cheeks 😂

[@jamie020687]

Best pundit by far. So informative and funny as hell. Absolutely class again mate

[@davidforster1628]

Wonderful insight as per! Gordon has serious self confidence. Backs himself against any right back i believe. Just glad he’s at the toon lol

[@scepticalsaint]

Good on Eddie sticking to his guns….keeping Gordon under the thumb, but refusing to give up on him!

[@corintaylor-salter2059]

Great analysis, Gordon was a player that no Newcastle fan I know liked or wanted. His metrics - particularly his speed were impressive so you could understand the logic of the acquisition - because look what a good coach does with that! Credit to Gordon himself for his application. Compare with Sancho at Man Utd?

[@leejonesAngling]

He just needed to be loved

[@PhantomOverlordX2]

It just shows certain players just need the right place and right setting. Everton is a nightmare at the moment, and he prob wouldn't get any where down there. But now he's got a better place of work, a proper manager toget round him, and he'll continue to improve. Glad we have him.

[@Trassik]

Agreed but am also enjoying his defensive pressing. Surprising for an offensive winger.

[@daveherdman8620]

‘Understands space better than Brian Cox’ Brilliant mate. I’ll subscribe on the strength of that line alone. Great insight mate. Look forward to more

[@richardburton6427]

He’s brilliant. Looks a bit like Clare Balding, but he’s brilliant.

[@geordiedog1749]

That made me actually lol. Not figuratively but literally.

[@Brunos-magic-hat]

Joffrey 😂

[@PaulFranks-cx3yd]

Brilliant! Superb analysis, light years ahead of the podcasters and journos. I wasn't impressed at all by AG last season but hoped pre-season would bring him on. He's the footballer equivalent of Sir Ivor who wintered in Pisa, came back 3 inches taller and won the Derby. I hope Sandro, Tino and Lewis will follow a similar path to AG in terms of adding value to the first 11 over time. (Sandro should be there already but he's hardly trained since Villa and Eddie shoild not have played him ahead of Elliott A who is another exceptional young talent.)

[@chrisdixon299]

Tonali hasn't trained since Villa? Why is that?!

[@PaulFranks-cx3yd]

According to Eddie because of his injury. @@chrisdixon299

[@ToonAssassin]

AG is class so far this year

[@matthewwhite1999]

Thanks Adam, loving all the analysis... please keep it coming

[@FourFourTwo]

More to come!

[@PaulO-mv6ku]

Excellent analysis. At the end of last season, Eddie Howe said that what he was looking forward to for this season was working with Gordon and having a full pre-season with him. Astonishing how that work is already paying off and how intelligent a footballer Gordon is.

[@astralchimp]

I told my mate watching the match that Dan Burn made Gordons goal by dragging the defender away and made the space but he said bollocks so thanks for the video to wave in his face

What a video mate, just woozing class ❤❤

[@tristantaccad4644]

When he got here I saw potential, but seemed a page or two behind what our regulars were putting out Couple that with a rather spicy attitude and I knew he’d take a while to gel with the squad and the game plan But, that Euro tournament seems to have been a huge confidence boost for him And in turn it’s helped him be more cohesive for the squad Buzzing for him rn, long may it continue

[@Xeonia]

Loving that you're using clips in these videos, really adds a lot. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@v4vendetta237]

I love this player. All Newcastle fans love a player who grafts their bollocks off but they worship a player who grafts their bollocks off as well as plays fantastic, creates goals and scores goals. Thank you Everton, you have been had.

[@Akhona3112]

Wow Gorden is very good this vid highlights it nicely from Liverpool fan

[@deanharding740]

Great analysis - my take on this is Anthony Gordon is a very talented young developing player and the experience at Newcastle has forced him to improve his standards still further. Eddie Howe and the coaching team will definitely have made an impact but it’s his own mentality which has changed and the lad has the potential to be one of the top players in the premier league if he keeps focussing on his development. Talent + Effort = Magic !

[@Brunos-magic-hat]

Rival fans were digging nufc out for spending 40m on AG but if he keeps improving at the rate that he is, he will be an absolute bargain English winger. He reminds me of a good old fashioned winger like Giggs, Gillespie, Waddle.

[@geordiesatstjamess]

Eddie is getting the best out of anthony gordon what a steal from Everton well done lad,

[@wouldbfarmer2227]

We knew Gordon had the technical ability; nice to see he also has tactical ability.

[@GhostNappa2k10]

It's becoming so obvious that Gordon just needed consistency and a good coach behind him to unlock his potential 🖤🤍

[@scott8619]

4 more years, he's going to be at his physical peak with the brain of a 35 year old. If he keeps up his mentality and development he's going to be one of the best in the league.

[@geordiedog1749]

He is the King of the Half Space.

[@Brunos-magic-hat]

And the seven kingdoms.

[@geordiedog1749]

@@Brunos-magic-hat Er, OK. I’d have settled for ‘and good out of possession, too” but hey! He’s just class. He seems to have settled down as a young man too. His interview on NUFC TV was that of a happy young man. When at Everton he seemed like an angry charv.

[@ashleycrane415]

Its about time Malfoy got some credit. He can be a bit of a headless chicken sometimes but he's maturing nicely. How much of that is down to the Newcastle coaching staff is left to debate but you can't argue with the results. He can play left, right and I hope we don't need it but if Isak and Wilson are both crocked he can drop into the middle too. Top lad!

[@Fornicis91]

Gotta agree, Gordy has really come into his own this season, matured a hell of a lot, and I think that Brentford game last season really was a kind of turning point when he realised that just because he had that big money move, doesn't mean he's a top class player, you need to prove that, he went away, and with his performance tonight (vs Man City) I feel really proves he has matured, he has grown and given time, he could be up there with the all time legends for the Toon, but time will be the big judge on this

[@BacchusAdoneus]

For me, Anthony Gordon has been our player of the season so far. He's been absolutely sensational. Every time he gets the ball or makes a run... I get goosebumps. And honestly, I'm not so sure we win that game on Sunday if he doesn't come on. Or at least, not so easily. And it's one of the many things that's made me question Eddie Howe this season (in a constructive way).

[@ohforgodsake8486]

Loved this breakdown. I knew he was good but didn't know why 😂

[@damienbrown6764]

I know the video is for Gordon and he has been unreal but Elliot Anderson needs more praise he’s been just as good imo

[@chrisanders92]

All down to fitness and confidence - he said himself he was way off Newcastle fitness last season -he’s come back flying

Is this the Ant Gordon everyone was getting on his back last season? He hardly had any game time and if so, was a sub. Come up in difficult circumstances. Eddie Howe said I like a full pre-season to work with him. The Prophet spoke.. This is now. 40 million? Another fantastic recruitment. Wake up people. He's got a hot head.. Good. Do we want little mice? He's got stronger. 😊

[@Steve_D1974]

Hopefully he will end up being for us like Giggs was for Man U for years

[@ChampagneBladex]

Got to say was say in sheff u end at weekend and saw Gordon being brought on as a blessing saying he was rubbish to my mate, vastly proven wrong. Extremely annoying but better team in every department fair play

[@FrostTHammer]

Subscribed First thought is that it is the same area Izak wants to play in. They're probably both intelligent enough to make it work, but might take a little time, and might be worth trying Gordon on the right as part of a pair with Alexander.

[@JohnnyJakarta]

So…you not crediting Eddie for the game plan? Gordon is great, I love him but that’s from working on his strengths and weaknesses. The game plan was to stay wide so they couldn’t be compact or use the inverted full back Pressing is also a game plan! This is a good analysis but the credit should go to the coaching team here
