Joe Gomez

[Bjornebye]

The new Milner 

[El Rojo]

Amazing versatility from him this season. Still only learning the ropes in that 6 role but great to have another option there if needed.

Yeah I said that on the match thread. He's plugging in anywhere and if he doesn't start, you know klopp will bring him on. His best season for us this. Let's hope he can maintain this through till the end of may. 

[KevieG]

All considered he is probably our player of the year.

[Pungkoq Hang]

Old Joe is now our very own Red Adair, putting out fires and plugging gaps all across the pitch, the ultimate utility player. Much has been made about professional players dislike of the supersub label (detesting it even, David Fairclough's take on that is well-documented I believe), but what about being called a utility player? Anybody here who has played to a decent level can shed a light on this?

[Scott_M]

Sounds like he’s about to get recalled to the England squad.

 

No doubt he’ll do an ACL and Southgoat will try and get him to run it off or his foot will come off kicking the ball or something. 

[an tha]

Yeah Gomez in the cunts squad....

 

 

[DJLJ]

This has long term injury written all over it. Fuck sake. 

[polymerpunkah]

At least he won't have to worry about Sterling gouging out an eye.

 

 

[No2]

Getting the bump in early.

[The Midnight Rambler]

Joe Gomez got so good at right/left back, people forgot how good he is at CB too.

Should have started yesterday.

He was chronic when he came on.

I don't think he was bad at all. Bradley was spent and Elliott can't defend much so Gomez was always going to have to defend firstly and foremost.

He gave the ball constantly. Not on his own like but still.

[Lee909]

he has been good this year but if he shoots again he needs his wages docked and any twat in the crowd shouting shoot needs shot

Keep him away from Italian sides.

 

That was worse than the Napoli game.

No it wasn't. It was appalling. But Napoli was rock bottom.

 

He always has a stinker in him. A game in which he fucks up and everything goes to shit.

[johnsusername]

To be fair he probably doesn't know if he's coming or going - left back, right back, centre back, midfield, wing back. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I wouldn't single him out tonight.  Absolute stinkers all over the pitch.

[Barrington Womble]

Said in the match thread, I think he's looked off it for a few games. It's not easy to come in and play game after game at this end of the season when you never do it. He's done his hard work, helped keep us in contention, helped win the league cup and he just needs taking out a bit now. But robbo is almost properly back. Trent will hopefully be back soon and we can freshen him up for some more big moments before the season is out. 

[Carra_is_legend]

I was a bit harsh in the match thread, due to frustration, calling him braindead. 

 

I do agree, he needs to be rested for a couple of games. Without him we wouldn't be anywhere near the top but he has been playing non-stop so it's time for him to take a breather. We will still need him no doubt and we need a fresher Joe.

To be fair that's how he played tonight. He was barely recognisable from the lad that for 2 months or whatever it's been, was absolutely brilliant. Him and endo and maybe some extent Nunez too have started looking over the last two or 3 gamea like their instincts have gone. I don't think it's physical exhaustion with them, I think they're not used to the mental pressure and intensity. 

[Kevin D]

Had a very good season, but I thought he was our worst player yesterday. Bradley and Trent should be ahead of him now.

[Binomial]

It was  a horror show from Joe, 2020-2022 Joe. But that's the only real below par (to put it kindly) performance I can remember him putting in this season. He's proven to be very reliable and turned in many top games. Plays where he's told he's needed, never complains, never throws a strop, just gets on with it. Can never fault him for that.
