Gordon Steps Up as Newcastle Awaits Liverpool…
Anthony Gordon has stirred the pot for Monday’s showdown against Liverpool by boldly stating that the saga of Alexander Isak won’t “break” Newcastle. This winger is set to take on his childhood team as the main striker, a role he snagged after dodging Liverpool’s snare last year. Now that his compass is set back on track, Gordon is ready to unleash his inner meteor in this thunderous bank holiday clash. With whispers of Isak’s dance with Liverpool buzzing through Tyneside, Gordon assured BBC Newcastle before the match, “From our play, you’d think we just snacked on energizing space food—our unity’s unbreakable! Challenges only pump up our power.”
The usual fiery encounters between Newcastle and Liverpool just got hot sauce poured on them, thanks to the Isak drama.

Excited to feel the stadium’s roar, he’s ready to blaze the trail through the center for Newcastle. Contemplating if he could fill the shoes of Isak, coach Eddie Howe quipped, “Gordon’s not about to wrestle Isak’s boots; he’s perfecting his own unique dance moves. Sure, last game he brought seven shots and even made a man earn a red card—he was a busy bee! But hey, those goals will come faster than a cheetah on roller skates!”
