Joe Gomez

Joe's 'only' on 28 grand a week. Both Trent 40 grand and Robbo 50 grand are on more.

I'd play for a fraction of that. Not that I've ever been even close to being good enough of course.

Read in last night's Echo that we have only conceded 8 goals in Joe's last 36 appearances

[Duff Man]

Looked class since shaking off the cobwebs. Still only 22, an all.

[dockers_strike]

I think Joe's been impervious since he came back into the team. We've stopped conceeding and been keeping cleansheets again. And the daft thing is, Joe is the lowest paid out of our current back 4 plus Matip and Lovren by some distance.

He was poor for a few games whilst he got back to match fitness but once he did, he's been outstanding. I like VVD/Matip partnership but VVD/Gomez is a level above as the clean sheets have proven.

Joe's recovery pace gives TAA a little more freedom at times

He'll be especially handy for games where it rains.

I think you meant imperious however have a smile here cause impervious works also !!!!  

[goose]

He’s been impermeable. Perfect for shoring up a leaky defence.

[TheHowieLama]

He is impregnable.

[clockspeed]

Imperious, impervious,impermeable,impregnable all adds up to being impressively important.

I think we missed Joe's pace, calmness and ability to read situations last night. Impossible to say the result would have been different with him in defence as the team hasn't played particularly well for a few weeks, but I do feel that Joe gives the team more completeness and confidence when he plays. For me it's hard to believe he's only 22 and given the early long term injury problems he had in his career it is a credit to his mentality and a demonstration of his talent that he is arguably our second best defender and one of the best defenders in the league at such a young age. He has played 34 PL games over the past two seasons and we haven't lost any of them.

[chrisbonnie]

Unless he has the corona virus, then he needs to play our best league game 

 

I'm kind of meh to the fa Cup if im honest. The league is the most important trophy this season

[Red74]

Carried Virgil & Trent this kid

Its not impossible to say that then. Statistically when Gomez plays we are absolutely off the charts. 18 games, 4 goals conceded this season. 16 games, 4 goals conceded last season. That isn't luck or anything else - he's the perfect centre back for our system. Players make games.

There seemed to be a train of thought among some yesterday that "Lovren didn't force the rest of the defence to play badly". Its not about that - its about his whole impact on the system. If there's one type of player we do struggle coming up against it is the Zaha/Traore/now-Sarr mould. Quick wide players who exploit the space. What a fucking double whammy that it had to be this game where the sluggish Lovren came in for the quickest centre back in the league. It fucks with how our full backs play. It fucks with how Van Dijk plays. Gomez is possibly the most under-rated CB the league has seen in many years -- he's Ledley King amped up & the best English centre back since the mid 00s. Van Dijk & Gomez in defence and you can pretty much guarantee Deeney does fuck all in that game.

I feel Joe has outplayed Virgil the last 5 or so games and I really rate him. We conceeded 2 goals against a shite West Ham who really should have scored more but thankfully didnt.

 

It's been a great run and I thought it was going to end on Monday night but we got out of jail again.

Anyone know what exactly is the issue with Joseph?

Judging by that video clip above he's having his baws surgically removed from his rectum.

Sore one.
