I like this lad, I think in last night's game he was a bit overawed by the occasion when the opportunities for him to attack and make his runs were there, but in balance, for me Jurgen had him play a very disciplined role in the pressing and counter pressing to nullify the Martinelli threat, which was always going to be their main threat, and I though Gordon played that part of the game brilliantly
This lad will score LOTS of goals I'm sure, I think he just got a bit excited with his chance, maybe because his chances to attack had been restricted because of the disciplined role he played in where Jurgen set the press - So it's probably a very good mindset lesson for him to learn, as in to be able to keep the intense focus on the disciplined role while still being able to spring into his attacking mode and do that at his best too
