My “hot (?) take” is that Gordon is having the season that everyone thinks Cole Palmer is having

I was about to address Gordon. Everybody believed Newcastle overpaid but he's progressed really well.

Can they not be both having brilliant seasons, lmao
I'd say they've been of a similar level

Sure. But no one is putting Gordon in Midseason TOTS either. Hell Tim Howard said Cole Palmer as his player of the season. No one talking about Gordon in that manner

Tim Howard is a dolt and so is Carragher (who had him in TOTS I think), so all is well hahaha

I don't think this is really relevant. Especially considering Palmer would be playing in Gordon's position for Newcastle and vice versa. But we are looking at two English mids who might be fighting over one spot for the team at the Euros. Gordon similar output with more open play goals and on a better team. And does not to have anywhere near the hype around him that Palmer does. Doesn't mean Palmer is bad/worse/etc. but everyone talking about Palmer and no one talking about Gordon. Maybe Gordon needs a lousy nickname too?

The dissent yellows are atrocious but by not giving worthy ones all that is happening is trying to close a Pandora's Box that they opened themselves. Webb said crackdown and it has not happened; and when it has its been ridiculous (like Dalot vs LFC) instead of actual stuff like this, Odegaard, etc.

He would have the hype had he not developed a reputation for whining while at Everton, I think. It really soured a lot of people on him.
With regards to fighting for a spot in the team, I think Palmer has the inside track because of the U21 captaincy - Gordon won the Golden Ball at that tournament (rather inexplicably, to most observers), but I think Palmer is thought of more highly within the setup.
City are missing Haaland badly. They keep getting to the touchline for cutbacks and then no one is in the six yard box so they have to double back

I think its more that Palmer plays for a London club honestly.
Do agree with second paragraph though. Everyone though Curtis Jones should have won Golden Ball that I saw; but yeah Palmer probably has a leg up on Gordon. Would try to take both but who knows how ambitious Southgate is going to be. My "squad" would probably look a lot different to the one he is going to take

Tim Howard is terrible, no one is saying he was a anything other than a contrarian pick (except maybe Howard himself) but yes - there is more media hype for Palmer than Gordon

Rodri and Kovacic should both get yellows for clownery there, based on how they've been giving them
