Would be amazed if we let him go unless he really agitates for a move, which I doubt he will.  Huge bonus having a quality homegrown centre back and he knows he's had a bunch of long injuries, he's not an idiot, his game time needs managing and he needs to get himself to a point where he's consistently available for selection.

There is no way we’d let him go, it would be senseless. Hopefully we can use him over the next few games.

Only way I can see him leaving is if it’s for £50m plus and we use the cash to get Haaland.

I think he is worth far more than that, but would anyone pay it?

Would prefer he stay anyway. Konate and Joe as our future partnership is pretty spicy.

Not sure if it's just bad luck with Joe or not but he seems so injury prone. Some pretty serious injuries as well. My concern is if he was first or 2nd choice could you rely on him over a season. I don't have an issue with him as a player but just his reliability.

Don't worry, Jill, the story was leaked by Real as a smokescreen for Nat. They are worried that Liverpool can ignite a bidding war for him and Real don't want to pay us more than 40-45m for Nat.

Can see why he’s down the pecking order at the minute, seems well off the pace.

Needs minutes. Thought he started badly, but then so did everyone in a disjointed team.  Got better as the game went on.

He'll be okay once he gets more minutes, he is just lacking the game time.

Was very good on the ball, a bit rusty as to be expected.

Can’t see where they’re going to come from though, he’s currently behind VVD, Matip and Konate.

He was constantly dropping off today, caught in possession anfew times and gave it away in dangerous area a couple of times.

Not worried at all, he’s barely played and he had a make-shift defence with him so it’s understandable. He’s brilliant and our future CB.

Glad to see him properly back. Still so young and a class player, bit of rust as expected but he's a good player.

I'd actually love to see him get a goal

Looked miles better alongside Konate but still the odd rusty moment.  Bonus of going through means he'll get more minutes.

Any reason he can't get minutes in the DM spot. Seems to have all the tools, and we need cover there badly at the mo.

We also seem to concede most our goals from counter-attacks and we lack recovery pace in MF, which Joe has in spades.

Defended well but his distribution was poor, not to be unexpected coming off the injury he had and the lack of game time he has had. Promising though, think once he's up to speed, he will be back to his best. As mentioned, his speed is invaluable.

Bit of a shocker but was always someone who needs to be match sharp to be at his best.

Will get a load of game time in the next month and be back to his best

Our fixture list is pretty nuts and he has just come back from yet another injury. Virgils been given a shitload of room for error on here because he was coming back from a bad injury, Joe was too!!

Yeah it won’t be a game he looks back on fondly. But it’s been a stop start season for him after an awful injury, so it’s not too surprising. He was in the middle of the worst performers in the first half too.

Looked a lot better in the 2nd half and the 90 minutes will do him the world of good.

He was better in the second half and it will take time. Remember lads his injury was actually worse than Virgil's and he's had two more serious injuries for fucks sakes. Give him the same time like we gave Virgil and even then the big man isn't back to his absolute best.

Gomez/Konate looked sweet though.  8)

In the same way Ox was incredibly rusty when he came back, it’ll take Joe some time to get backup to speed and playing as well as Ox is now. A blessing and a curse that we have fit CBs this season, but I can certainly see plenty of minutes for him in January.

I presume he's one of those who got a false positive Covid result and wasn't risked.  Kloppo said a number of our lads got them.

Pretty crazy he can’t even get in a squad.

Was easily one of the top 5 young cb’s in the world, now he can’t get in a squad.

I’m sure the club have a plan for him - but this year isn’t it. Joe will need to get fully healthy and strong and then come back next season to challenge.

(And of course an injury could change that)

It’s just unfortunate timing anytime he’s supposed to get a game he’s down with a minor injury or even COVID, for what it’s worth I don’t think the level Konate has shown in small appearances this season is close to Gomez at his best, but I suppose Konate has the momentum which Gomez has lost with consistent injuries.

The injury was massive and I assume the club are being really cautious with easing him back into things. He’s a top, top footballer and so I really hope he’s here next season.

It's such a pity because him and Virgil were as good pairing as there was in European football. Bloody injuries have really affected him over the last 2 years and I wonder if he'll ever really recover enough to be first choice here again.
I’ve plenty links to the clubs playing and backroom staff as many on here know thank you very much. Fair enough, I admire your optimism. But you’re absolute ostriches if you think this squad, even with 2 or 3 new, “cut price” players with potential get us anywhere close

Great to see him get out there and get through the 90 minutes, thought he was superb. Whilst we’re in 4 competitions there should be plenty of football for him to play so he’s ready to step in when needed down the stretch.

Thought he was tentative at times especially in the first half but showed some good dribbling (where did that come from :D ) in the second. Glad he's getting some game time, he's not gonna be 100% in games having not played much, worth noting a lot of the norwich opportunities came down his side. Hope he gets a lot more games.

It was his first start in a while and he looked rusty. Let's cut the lad some slack.

I thought he had a decent game, he has very little momentum as of yet but at least we know his speed is still there.
