    I don't know why but I find him terribly attractive. Must be that nerd look he has going on or something. That yellow kit just looks beautiful on him.

    His kicking could be better however.

    His kicking tonight was amateurish.

    Then we wonder why we concede so much in Europe when we're handing chances on a plate.

    Feel like a minority here but am I the only one who lays a bit of the blame on Gordon for the goal conceded today? Dont get me wrong, Tierney was unlucky and Jozo played O'Holloran very poorly coming into the box, but Maclean's 2 feet away from Craig when he redirects it in. Should he not come for the ball earlier or get at least a piece of the shot? Made a great save later in the game to deny (Wotherspoon or Maclean?) to keep it at 3-1 tho :50:

    He does seem to launch it when he could just play an easy ball to his defence..

    We should be looking to recruit another GK..

    Edit: I do rate Gordon highly but we should be thinking about his replacement.

    Sold himself on the cutback(Probably wasn't aware of McClean). Thought maybe Ambrose could have taken a better position to block the ball into the 6 yard box as well.

    With regards to the corner cleared by Johansen. Just about everytime we get a corner it results in the ref blowing for a foul. Yet it's the opposite for us when defending. Maybe it's just me but Gordon doesn't get the same decisions as other keepers get.

    Said it before and completely agree. Don't think he's good enough tbh. Too many crucial mistakes in crucial games.

    Hot and cold at the moment, in my opinion. Seemed scared to come out and claim at points today and in the Accies game.

    However, he did make a couple of good saves too.

    Same as MLS for me, hot and cold.

    Flapping like a doo at some crosses today and we were lucky not concede one from him getting caught in no mans land (St J hit the bar).

    then he makes some important saves as well though.

    Gordon has cost us in all the big games, think we need to invest in the summer.

    Mmm not sure about that, I think everyone agrees he was a huge part of us making it out of last year's Europa group. Though he did * us over against Inter tbf.

    Yes he was in a mediocre group and what about the Inter game? let's not talk about that.

    Diddy.

    Produces the odd wonder save, but too often he fills me with fear. Useless at coming for crosses, flapped at about 3 or 4 corners tonight.

    Should have done better for the first goal as well.

    Get a new 'keeper in the summer.

    Starting to decline. For a goakeeper of his size and experience he is * at coming for a ball off his line, gets beat far too often at front post..

    I think there's a great keeper in there, but we're not getting anywhere near the best out of him.

    Basically, like many others, under Ronny he's regressed. Same happened with Matthews, Lustig and probably others.

    Doesn't look confident or assured like his old self.

    Not good enough, hasn't been all season.

    New goalkeeper please.
