    If you can hear my voice every time I post I suggest you apply for Stan Lee's Superhumans.

    He's pish, countless times yesterday we played the ball nicely about the back with the main emphasis on keeping the ball, it gets played back to him and he just boot's it up to nowhere without even looking. The difference between him and Fasan in the second half with the ball at his feet was astounding, so much more composed and willing to pass the ball.

    Gordon is becoming a major hindrance to how we want to play, adding to that he's a very suspect keeper, who's let us down countless times in Europe.

    His kicking it away when there's a nice pass is really starting to bug me. We punt it up to tiny griff against 6ft+ defenders or midfielders. Play it out to there feet and only.punt as a last option.

    Judging a player on his accent.

    We have hit a new low on here.

    It was clearly part of an extensive joke regarding my dislike for Gordon.

    As if not only do I dislike him as a GK but I also dislike him personally as well with his accent etc, it's just a bit of a joke.

    People take things soo * seriously on here at times embarassing.

    It's no more different than the amount of folk who call Forrest 'nae neck'.

    Still think he his good enough to be our #1. I do however believe he needs legitimate competition, and having said that, actually see that competition take his place on a consistent basis. Bailly was touted by the previous management as being brought in to challenge Gordon and he played 4 times all season. If we are going to bring in a keeper, he needs to be of good enough quality to be our #1 but also be given a chance by Rodgers.

    For me, Gordon's job is to keep the ball out of the net and he does that pretty well. His kicking might not be the best but I don't think its as horrible as many on here lead it to be. He is not the best at coming for crosses and collecting balls, and thats where we can use an upgrade. But as it stands, I think he's more than good enough domestically and can get us into the Champions League as well.

    Nearly gifted another goal by running out flapping at a cross and for no reason either. Stay on your line ffs Gordon, you can't claim crosses to save your life.

    No nearly about it this time. He's really not good enough to be our #1. I'd be delighted to have him as our backup keeper but to have him as our last line of defence is nerve wracking.

    Agreed. He's dodgy as *, don't trust him at all at CL level

    I don't kniow what could he have done for their goal though? He had to come out. Very bad luck that Ibrahimi was just there, ready. We had forced their GK to punch it out 3 times after that, and our players could never get into a position to score.

    For their goal, if he leaves it the other player is through - had to commit himself there.

    Agreed was sketchy tonight but there are many many other positions we need to strengthen before getting rid of gordon.

    Not the first time he's * up in a high pressure game. Distribution, as Tim Floyd says, is woeful.
