Joe Gomez

He's looked assured at CB and I think you have to accept that mistakes like the Moura chance would happen with a young player - just hope he learns from it.

That tackle on Moura in the second half was delicious, loved that

Between Alisson, VVD and Robertson and Milner young players like TAA n Gomez are gna get told whenever they do something good or bad thats for sure. And thats so refreshing, players who know what they're doing and whats expected and aint afraid to tell it and demand it from their team mates. Its like theyre being coached live at times, VVD clappping him for that slide tackle on Moura for example its wonderful.

any games a guy can get will bring him on.

Playing regularly will always improve a player.

I will be annoyed if Lovren just walks back into the team. Gomez has been excellent. He does make the odd mistake but he is young enough to learn. Lovren has no excuses for the head farts he does regularly.

Carra played at right back for a while then went to centre back and it did him no harm.

We have only conceded 2 in 5 games but we haven't really played against any decent strikers this season. Big test will be Tuesday against that diving little rat and co.

I don’t think being RB helped that much, in fact it raised quite a few issues in his game which to be fair he’s had the ability to address.

At the moment he has only got into the team through injury to other players but this time round I would back him to keep his place as he’s come of age as a player now.

Was very unimpressed with Gomez at RB. Was dreading seeing him at CB this season but in all honesty he's been magnificent, whether that's him feeling more comfortable there, a bit more experience, playing with VVD or whatever, he's well impressed all of us I reckon

Gomez has been remarkable this season. I'm gonna be honest I was doubting whether he would actually make it here at all just a few months ago.

Obviously injuries have made it really difficult for him but he also used to have a terrible habit of ball watching on multiple occasions when he played right back.

Only been a few games but there has been absolutely no sign of that this season, he has been exceptional. Is it the VVD effect kicking in again? Those two are loving playing together right now.

I liked him at right back but he didn't have the offensive side that TAA has. Also he did well at left back previous to that. He has looked even better in the centre and I had hoped him would be partnered with VVD from the end of last season. It has now happened and I'm sure he'll stay alongside VVD for years to come.
