Anthony Gordon says he’s willing to continue as Newcastle centre forward, as he vows to learn at work after a scoreless draw at Aston Villa
During the 13 minutes of the draw, he felt that he might have easily won, and Eddie Howe patiently asked after questions about the man who chose not to be there.
And while Hau had insisted that the doors remained open for Alexander Isaac to reintegrate himself, the winger, chosen to occupy his position at Villa Park, declared himself with confidence.
Anthony Gordon could not convert any of his seven shots, and his one Friedribble ended towards goal. It ended with Ezri Consa carrying him to the ground.
However, the English winger is ready to do whatever he needs and is sure to pick up the tricks to make the centre thriving once he adapts.

“I like it,” Gordon said. “To be honest, I really like it. I just get used to it. It’s a completely different position. My back is against my goal.
“I’m really good at certain areas. You need to improve in some areas. That takes time.”
Describing Consa’s sarcastic foul as “irritating,” Gordon added: “I don’t understand that from a defender’s perspective.
“If I’m a defender, you’ll still have that chance, so you’ll probably want them to score rather than get a red card. He’s so fast he actually managed to catch up with me.”
Hau has played diplomats through this increasingly ugly saga. On the one hand, he really enjoys managing Isaac, while on the other hand, he makes it clear that only the striker can organize his future. “There’s only one person in control of it,” he repeated.
However, there is no immediate prospect that Liverpool will return with a bid of more than £110 million rejected two weeks before the transfer window closes.
It is unknown that Isaac remains in Newcastle on September 1st, and the path to forgiveness from supporters clarified their feelings in a full-time chant called “greedy b******.”
Hau praised the fans for supporting the entire game, and carefully said that delaying them on the pitch in 90 minutes “is very free to air.”
And because of all the talk of negativity and low morale in the dressing room, Gordon asserted that Toon was united.
“That’s our main strength, our sense of unity and nothing breaks it,” he added. “Every challenge that comes to us is to make us better, and I think you saw it today.
“It was a difficult summer and you wouldn’t have seen us and thought it was the way we played. So it’s proof that our staff and all the young people will catch up.”
