now the same folk that talked about the class of rooney and tevez together are laying into gordon?truth be told i watched all the highlights and believe that all the praise for rooney and tevez is mislaid as is teh criticism of gorson. truth of the matter is in both games the defending was absolutely awful, watch the manure goals, watch the comical defending by villa and it takes the gloss off of said strike pairs performance.
similarly sunderland should have scored 4 goals in the second half but their awful defensive displays continue to leave gordon exposed. first goal the bal out wide should have been stopped, the cross should have been stopped and when it came in there were 3 west ham players ready to head it in,in the end it was played back across gordon who had little chance.
second goal, defender could have cleared it, tried to control it, missed it and it broke to solano, gordon tried to get back across but was again overly exposed by the defence, it went by him, hit the post and came flying out where it hit off his ankle and went in. in that situation not many goalies would have saved teh shot, just bad luck that it went in off.
gordon is having an excellent season but none of the sunderland back line is anywhere near his standard, i see him moving on in teh summer toa bigger club after sunderland are relegated
