Topic: European and World Champion and all round Big Man Joseph Dave Gomez

[tubby]

He grew into the role, but that was partly because of Southampton tiring.  First half you could see he doesn't have the technical ability or quick passing to play it when the game is going on around him at 100mph.  But he did as well as could be expected and it was basically a stop-gap.

Perfect squad player.

[12C]

Gomez inverted so much, he ended up on the other side.

He was playing across the pitch in front of the back 4. Thought he was very good considering he is a centre half , played out well.

[Morgana]

He’s worth his weight in gold, his versatility is priceless.

Amen to this.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Slowly working his way up the pitch. Will be playing striker before the end of the season.

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Struggled to cope with the new position first 15/20 minutes, but adapted remarkably well after that. His versatility, spirit and hard work are priceless. Truly the unsung hero of our season so far.

[Yorkykopite]

A serious talent. Too good for England. Perfect for Liverpool.

(Is there a quicker footballer?)

[smutchin]

Incredibly valuable player to us. Played really well tonight. Intelligent and measured.

[kavah]

Well played Joe

[jillcwhomever]

He's been incredible this season, played and covered in so many positions never complained just got on with it. I love the guy to bits, well done Joe one of the unsung heroes of this team.

["Bobber" Thanks :)]

Becoming the new James Milner, filling in everywhere.

[MonsLibpool]

I always knew he could play in midfield.

Players take time to adapt to unfamiliar positions.  Look at Mac Allister.

[thejbs]

He’s having a great season.

[RedG13]

Did well for playing in MF for the first time learned it more as the game went on. Was the ideal game to try it. I doubt he used there much overall but good give him as chance there.
Can Fill in at 4 Positions now(RB,LB, 6 and CB)

[afc tukrish]

Players take time to adapt to unfamiliar positions.  Look at Mac Allister.

especially the one where you have to play through 360 degrees if you've spent time playing close to the touchline in previous matches...

[Keith Lard]

Well said by Jurgen asking supporters to stop all the shoot shouting crap. That was annoying the fuck out of me.

Another great game from Joey

Yeah, because it was his first ever time trying it. You can't tell from one attempt whether he'd ever be able to play that role or not.

[Gifted Right Foot]

Joe Gomez.  The centre back, right back, left back & centre mid playing Mr Reliable.  I like the sound of that. 

[mullyred94]

Did he play CDM?

[PEG2K]

He did a job for us given the circumstance but he was a part of a midfield that let the Southampton B team run at our back 4 at will in the first half. With proper finishing they could have gone 2 3 up really.

Ironically I would say Gomez has the attributes to be a good defensive midfielder, but it takes time to learn.

that got stale after about the 3rd time it happened.  childish now.

he's fucking great.

if we ever (god forbid) have both goalies injured in a game and - say - Harvey takes the gloves, let's remember to nitpick his handling of high crosses.

[jizzspunk]

The only truth in that was that he was part of the midfield

Our front 3 and 8's were energetic but understandably lacked a bit of pressing cohesion and some risky Southampton keep ball enabled them to beat our press and one of their midfield bypassed Gomez with a 30 yard length pass out to their wide forwards, what was you expecting him to cover? 🙄

[killer-heels]

Why is there such a clamour for him to score? The media are obsessed by it.

Not for the entire first half he didn't. Gomez like a number of senior players enabled the young lads to do their own thing. He took on responsibility beyond what he normally does, in a position he's never played before. I am. not quite sure what people were expecting but he dealt with it admiringly all things considered.

[FlashingBlade]

Potential player of season for job he has done for us..

[KurtVerbose]

Klopp doesn't know where to play him and he never scores.

[tubby]

Happy that Klopp has asked the crowd to stop with the 'shooooot' rubbish.

[DiggerJohn]

Gets my vote for most improved player this season

[AndyMuller]

He is having a great season, we just need to pack in the SHOOOOOT shouts.

[gjr1]

Thought he was the best player on the pitch in the 2nd half

[gazzalfc]

Having a James Milner of a season. Proper jack of all trades player. It will probably hurt his chances in the future though.

The SHOOOOTTT shit is getting a bit wool now. He is a defensive player and played that 6 role really well last night. You could see how he was sitting,

[bornandbRED]

Good early shout for player of the season?

[stewy17]

Good early shout for player of the season?

You mean if we exclude Salah, Trent, Szobozslai, Mac Allister, Nunez, Jota, Allison, & Virgil? Maybe.

[paulrazor]

He struggled at the start but grew into it

Just the 4th position he has played this season

Well in Joe

[BassTunedToRed]

He struggled at the start but grew into it

Just the 4th position he has played this season

Well in Joe

And yet he hasn't started in his best (favoured?) position of RCB. He's had minutes there but has started in the three other back four positions and now DM.

Top player.

[bornandbRED]

You mean if we exclude Salah, Trent, Szobozslai, Mac Allister, Nunez, Jota, Allison, & Virgil? Maybe.

Of those, only Virg and Gomez have been ever present.

[Coolie High]

Only Salah Virgil Alisson ahead of him.

[jillcwhomever]

He's up there with a number of others, Klopp himself has been full of respect for how he has filled out so many different positions, while others just have to play in their usual one.

[Kloppage Time]

He has developed into the perfect squad payer, he can fill in almost anywhere, not sure that's what he wanted from his career, but he is vital
