He should have done better on both goals conceded but sometimes we forget how young he is, especially for a center back

Always a little frustrating when the defending is shite from pretty much everyone for a goal (or indeed goals) and one person gets singled out. Lovren gets it a lot and Gomez the same tonight.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

He got the wrong side for the first goal, and didn't pick his man for the second, plus his misstep above, and a few missed tackles. He's a brilliant defender but tonight he was a bit average.

This was how I saw his performance too.

But also they scored their goals with pretty much their first 2 attempts on target, which has not been the case with us this season - the opposition usually needs to work quite hard for their goals, given the quality of our CBs and GK.

Trent should have made a simple clearance from the intial corner before the first goal and I'm sure Alisson won't be happy with his contribution either.

His pace was badly missed today. When he plays it allows us to play a high line without any worries of runs in behind as he’s got the pace to keep up with any player in the league. Hopefully he’s back next game. Don’t think I can stomach the thought of seeing us playing this high up with lovren in there

Is it fair to say that Gomez exemplifies the profile of centre back we should be looking for, and if so, how well do the youngsters match up to this?

Needs to be told that letting people shoot from distance is no longer an option until Alisson is back.

Was poor for their second, if he stays with his man in the middle there's no problem, but he just dropped off.

Whether Alisson is in goal or not he needs to close down in both of the situations. Shocking defending.

No need to panic, but he does need to sort out this glitch. I could sort of understand it if he lacked pace and was frightened of a player taking the ball around him. But he doesn't. Get closer Joe!

It was Stuart James who wrote that article, but you are right it was a fascinating insight into the psychological mind of a footballer, we learnt a lot about Joe and his group of friends in that. Journalism would be much more interesting if there were more articles like that one written. I still can't get over the fact that after the Barca game he went home and played monopoly.   ;D

Happy Birthday to the young man, hope to see the videos later on.

I like, and rate, Gomez, but there is no way on Earth he's worth £100m in this, or any market.

Obviously he has time on his side and is playing at the right club, alongside the right player, under the right manager.  The sky is his limit, but £100m ??

I suppose you are right. No player is worth £100m.

However if Maguire being English and at best a good player and his value to Leicester was £80m (I think Leicester took the piss and rinsed it, fair play!), then Gomez is double what Maguire's value is, at the very least.

Gomez is the best English centre back today. Top class baller.

Sans Corona he should be worth at least 150 million in today’s market, with Van Dijk worth even more. But with the virus clubs will be reticent to spend that kind of money on anyone. Moot point anyway because Klopp probably wouldn’t even entertain an offer. Like others have said, he’s 23 with plenty of ceiling left. And the best partner Van Dijk has ever had (makes De Ligt look like a chump).

The two Dutch kids look promising. I'm sure Pep will keep fighting their corner. Hopefully we can stay in the domestic cups a bit longer during the upcoming campaigns so that they get more first team game time.
