  1. Gordon, if you want to be a starter at Newcastle United, learn to be humble and don't suddenly want to become superstars. See Isak, even though his presence is still new, but is accepted by all the players, because he plays for the club, not for himself. Look, he always gives assists sincerely to Wilson, Gordon, Anderson, and all the players who have the opportunity to score goals, he is also willing to become a midfielder, replacing the Longstaff, that is the difference between the humble Isak and the arrogant and bad attitude of Gordon and Anderson,Gordon harms bisa menjadi midfielder dan memberi assits pada seniornya dengan tulus, tapi ini susah karena karakter rakus gak bisa ditutupi. .

  2. I think he bought players who fail and overates, it's surprising that you only have 2 goals, valued at £ 45M, really organized fraud like the mafia

  3. Agree Isak and Wilson should start but will it be 4-3-3, 4-4-1-1, 3-4-3, 3-5-2……decisions, decisions. If Longstaff is fit, I like the idea of 3-5-2 with Trippier and Willock as wing-backs.

  4. I don’t think Eddie knows exactly where Gordon’s best position is yet.But he will do and gordon will be a lot better. I have the faith that Howe will achieve just that.

  5. I think we are seeing enough of Gordon to think that if Eddie can work with him then he could becoke a very decent player. Looked dangerous whenever he had the ball yesterday and was width of the post for scoring.

  6. There are other players who would simply be a better fit to Eddies team than ASM. Maxi is not a bad player or even ‘not a toon player’. But there are others who would just fit into an Eddie Howe team better than ASM. And the way FFP works selling him means money that can go towards another Bruno or Botman or trippier.

  7. I think we'll go with the routine starting 11 with big Joe on the left being aswell longstaff is ok. Play Isak from the start, then bring Wilson on and move Isak out left in the latter stages. Great video again Craig

  8. I feel Alex was the same when he first started just takes time to get into the team

  9. Good to watch, it makes a change from listening to the school boy with the inflated ego telling people his life is in danger

  10. This is a very snidey video. All the insincere platitudes about Anthony Gordon don't disguise your spiteful and inaccurate assessment of his contribution. In fact it is disgraceful to single out one player for criticism; mentioning Trippier's mistake for their goal hardly 'spreads the blame'. If your colleagues in the press box all agreed with you, it just goes to show what a shower of deadbeat liars you all are. But then again, you are journalists, so the truth will be a stranger to you all.

  11. I reckon Eddie Howe knows a lot more than you Craig, so your comments on Gordon are meaningless. Of course your rag, the Daily Mail, always like to be bitchy & sour.

  12. I think Gordon needs a full preseason with the team to get firing on all cylinders. His long term potential is higher than that of Murphy or Almiron.

  13. I’m like you Craig not sure we see ASM next Season if Eddie can’t get the best out of him who will .Remember Patrick Vierja had him and said he had all the talent but never would be world class due to his attitude.Seems Eddie is trying to they asset b ut his pictures say some thing else .
    He won’t win there.

  14. He was our best player in the first half. He showed his inexperience with two of those chances but after a bit longer with Eddie, that will change. I think he will come good and his confidence will soar as soon as he gets his first goal. He was signed for his potential – he’s just a young lad – not because he’s the finished article. He’s got all the right qualities including the desire to learn and work hard. A good buy.

  15. Great stuff craig, i think you are right anthony gordon needs time. And i hope he realises that as well. He's jumping up a level & while he'll be keen to make an impavt he has to understand that he's playing in a squad with much higher standards than the one he was playing with at everton. Lets see what he's like a with pre-season under his belt.

  16. Maxi isn’t going anywhere I’m sick of people coming out with this. If it was any other player in his situation nobody would even question it but for some reason everyone hates him even though he’s dragged us through the mud for several years until the takeover. Right now he’s been playing really well for weeks and unfortunately got injured again. Once he’s back he’ll be back in the fold. He isn’t going anywhere

  17. I thought Gordon was our best player in the first half.
    And Murphy the weakest?
    I saw far more promise too.

  18. Anthony Gordon is one for the future. We need to get off his back and support him . He’s only 22 years old . To be perfectly honest I think he done ok against the saints. I’d rather have him there in that position than ASM. 50 million for maxi snap there hands off 👍

  19. Would love some footage from the press room at half time. Whats the tea and tab nab like?
    Sounds like a fair assessment of Gordon, no doubt will be better for the minutes on the pitch. Think he will be on a bulking program over the summer.

  20. Sorry can't agree with two of your points. Don't use from the start Wilson and Isak together. Do not want to lose Wilson due to injury. Still need wins and should not upset the apple-cart. If its not broken don't fix it. Also nothing wrong with taking players from relegated teams. Its the team that's relegated not the individual player. You could have a diamond in a basket of rotten pears. Otherwise good video again.

  21. For some reason you could tell it wasn't Gordon's day and was the right decision to replace him at halftime rather than the 60-65min

    With the current form of Wilson and Isak it will be interesting to see if we buy another striker in summer personally I think we definitely will with European football next season and also never really replaced Chris wood .
    + I agree maxi will most likely move on in summer , problem being he wants to be in the starting 11 , but can't stay fit and injury free , shame because he's such a talented player

  22. Why do you have such an agenda against Gordon ? I like your videos but I think you are very wrong about Gordon. How do you not see the potential in him

  23. Hang on. Newcastle were poor as a whole unit in the 1st half. Isak started and he was completely ineffective in the 1st 45 mins. It does seem daft to even try to find an individual to single out especially such an easy target in Gordon. What about Bruno giving the ball away for the goal? What about Trippier losing his man? For me Gordon was a positive in a very poor half of football for the home side. He hit the post. Why do we need to find an individual to talk about at all?

    Of course, Wilson and Isak together look amazing. I hear what you're saying. I just think its slightly short sighted to single out Gordon in this game in particular.

  24. The seagulls intervention was not to disagree with you.sadly it had just flown from Sunderland where it had been involved in an incident

  25. A random question for you Craig. How are sports journalists never brought to book about poor reporting? Namely transfer rumours, when clubs, not just Newcastle, are linked with literally dozens and dozens of players that never come to fruition and yet sheer unadulterated lies seem to be printed day upon day. Just a thing of mine that cheeses me off!!!!

  26. Wilsons game is far less predictable. A team player who is the key to others having more space. I hope Eddie sticks with him, we are a better side when he starts.

  27. You're talking shite. Gordon was our biggest attacking threat while he was on. Why are you obsessed with blaming Gordon when there were far worse performances?
