Chris Sutton baffled by Anthony Gordon story
Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton discus🔴sed Craig Hope’s story in Thꦦe Mail.
“Interesting in the piece that Craig has written for us, Craig suggests that there may have been a link at the Euros between Gordon’s non-selection and the incident on the mountain bike. Remember he fell off that bike and picked up some nasty cuts and bruises. Craig suggests that could have pee🧜ved off Gareth a little bit,” Ladyman said.
“Come on. I 🐬love Craig but you’re telling me that Gareth Southgate would’ve left out Anthony Gordon because he fell off a bike. Come on, come on Craig, you’re better than that,” Sutton said.
Gareth Southgate isn’t that stubborn
Gareth Southgate did make some strange decisions during his time as England man🥃ager🧸, but surely he’s not that stubborn.
Crashing 🐻your bike is an accident, it shouldn’t cost you your place in the England team.
The unfortunate reality for Gordon is that both Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden we♔re coming off the back of🌞 better seasons, and they earned their places in the starting XI.
Gordon’s bike accident probably didn’t do him any favours, but that won’t have beeಞn the reason he was left out of the England team throughout the summer.
