Newcastle United fans rage as Anthony Gordon image drops

Newcastle United fans are fuming with Gareth Southgate and the lack of game time afforded to Anthony Gordon at Euro 2024.

Gordon was handed a cameo appearance in the 89th minute of England’s final group game, and has yet to appear in any of the knockout games.

Now, an image doing the rounds on social media appears to show Gordon left out at the back of the group while Southgate was giving a team talk against Switzerland.

The Newcastle winger, who scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in the Premier League last season, appears to have fallen behind Ebere Eze and Cole Palmer in the pecking order.

Anthony Gordon twist infuriates Newcastle fans

This lack of game time for Gordon comes despite the inconsistent performances of Phil Foden, while a key issue for England has been their lack of width, especially on the left.

The winger has been in the news recently after Football Insider revealed that Man City have joined Liverpool in the race for his signature.

Newcastle fans, however, remain defensive over their star, and have labelled Southgate “embarrassing” and “a disgrace”, labelling his treatment “bullying”.

Feel so sorry for Anthony Gordon. Euros come it’s finally his time to show the world what he’s capable of, instead he’s played 1 minute all tournament whilst we’ve looked awful on that left side, talk about a way to knock someone’s confidence, Southgate is a disgrace. #NUFC pic.twitter.com/am7rX35JK5— Murph (@NUFCMurph) July 7, 2024

Whilst I’m obviously pleased that England are through to the semi-finals of #EURO2024 – it is so disappointing to see Anthony Gordon being consistently ignored by the manager. ????

It looks like it’s starting to affect him, too – which is really sad to see for us #NUFC fans. He… pic.twitter.com/kO3qpxi6yW— Magpie Media (@MagpieMediaX) July 6, 2024

Seen this picture doing the rounds & it may be open to interpretation but the way two bright young talents in the shape of Gordon & Wharton have been ignored by Southgate this tournament has been rancid. Yes England have made it to the semi's but that's been so poor #NUFC #CPFC pic.twitter.com/OIyTD7PHfn— Ever More NUFC ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ (@EverMore_NUFC) July 7, 2024

I know, it’s embarrassing how he and other players have been treated ????????— Burridge Les (@BurridgeLes12) July 8, 2024

Aye, been awfully mis-managed and criminally underused. Knowing Gordon though, that just means he’s going to kill it next season. #nufc https://t.co/Z4hUg20i1s— Jake Jackman (@JakeJackmann) July 7, 2024

This is an awful image.
Why did Southgate take him – and then refuse to use him? Every single week, Gordon shows how much of a threat he is to defenses, yet the National team Manager refuses to put him on the pitch. What's going on? Get rid of Southgate! pic.twitter.com/20ObSqykps— Nev Brown (@nev_brown) July 6, 2024

Devastated for him ???? He would make such a difference to the team. Gareth Southgate has his favourites so why did he bring him along? It's bullying imho.#Eng— Kate Stewart ???????? ???????? (@KateStewart22) July 6, 2024

If I were Gordon or Watkins, I’d get the next flight home, pack my bags and have a holiday. No point being there if they’re going to be constantly ignored whilst others are repeatedly picked but don’t perform.— Ian V (@ian_veness) July 6, 2024

There is no doubt in my mind when he said they weren’t playing well enough after one of the group games that Southgate has gone against him for speaking out and saying what we were all thinking— Adam M (@adzy_90) July 6, 2024

Him and Watkins being overlooked repeatedly is brutal. Gordon was superb for toon likewise Watkins for Villa. They’d walk into most national teams. Their time will come post Southgate— sawdo (@sawdy_land) July 8, 2024
