I’m one of his biggest critics, I always think he’s got a mistake on him, but he’s been fantastic so far this season.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #6761 on:** January 1, 2024, 10:05:50 pm »

Did some wonderful covering today when he had too and is always ready for a pass. A complete footballer to me.

TipTopKop · « **Reply #6762 on:** January 1, 2024, 10:06:26 pm »

He's done his part really well.

So… Howard Philips · « **Reply #6763 on:** January 1, 2024, 10:08:51 pm »

He seems to have stepped up a level or maybe just reached his potential?

ac · « **Reply #6764 on:** January 1, 2024, 10:13:20 pm »

Brilliant again today. All round I think he is an upgrade on Tsmikas at left back

His experience playing centre back is absolutely vital when he’s covering out to in runs.

He has been absolutely brilliant ~~in the last 3 games~~ this season.

Fixed it for you.

He has had a great season no doubt, but the last three games he has gone up a level or two.

He's always been fast but it feels like everything he's doing is quicker and more effective with and without the ball. He's been very consistent and hardly put a foot wrong all season. Long may it continue

JC the Messiah · « **Reply #6771 on:** January 1, 2024, 10:37:09 pm »

Excellent again. Very important for us this season.

Bread · « **Reply #6772 on:** January 1, 2024, 10:39:44 pm »

At no point today did he flirt with the idea of scoring a goal. I don't care that his defensive performance today was masterful, I wanted a moment where Joe got into the area and I would be like "here we go, this is it, go on Joe!!"

Disappointing.

diegoLFC7 · « **Reply #6773 on:** January 1, 2024, 10:58:14 pm »

Very glad hes getting a chance to contribute a lot this season no matter the position. Hes the longest serving player in the side if im not mistaken.

It's like his previous peak in 2018-2020 when playing next to VVD: he is a very smooth and elegant player when fully fit and confident.

Another really good game from Joe. Been a really important part of the team this season. Barely put a foot wrong despite playing everywhere across the backline while showing more ability going forward than previously.

I think he may actually be playing the best football of his career right now

Yes, it is a reminder of why we saw him as a world class defender a few years back, and then kind of forgot about how good he was: this is what he is capable of at his best.

Another excellent performance

JackWard33 · « **Reply #6778 on:** January 1, 2024, 11:25:15 pm »

He’s playing the best he’s played since 2019

Really looks like he’s got some pace back - looks very quick on the cover. Sometimes injuries as bad as his take a season to get all the strength back

DiggerJohn · « **Reply #6779 on:** January 1, 2024, 11:28:39 pm »

Strange how Joe and curtis too don't get any media noise to get call ups for England

Delighted for him, it's a brilliant spell after he had so many difficult months and years.

Keep it going Joe.

Big Dirk · « **Reply #6785 on:** January 2, 2024, 12:29:14 am »

If he keeps playing like this Robbo will become his back up.

Southgate is an arse but actually he is a pretty big fan of Gomez and has been since he was the U21 coach. Out of all the Liverpool players including Trent, Gomez, Elliott, Jones etc., Joe has the best chance of getting picked.

DiggerJohn · « **Reply #6787 on:** January 2, 2024, 12:36:27 am »

If I remember he got injured twice playing for England. So it's a worry now😟

Yep he did his ACL in a game for England U21 and his PCL in training for the England senior side.

Irishred1 · « **Reply #6789 on:** January 2, 2024, 12:37:43 am »

He has been like a new signing. Back to his best. Keep her lit lad.

JRed · « **Reply #6790 on:** January 2, 2024, 08:39:41 am »

Must admit, I was critical of Joe before the season, thought he should be sold. But Fuckinghell, he has been immense.

Let's hope he's forgotten. Would prefer Gomez gets the international breaks to recuperate. It's folly to expect a player with his injury history to be robust enough to take on the load that would be placing on him.

Draex · « **Reply #6792 on:** January 2, 2024, 08:51:11 am »

He’s been brilliant, just needs to stay switched on for the entire 90minutes, seems to switch off at least once giving up a very easy chance.

nayia2002 · « **Reply #6793 on:** January 2, 2024, 10:42:28 am »

Hope he continues playing like this and stay injury free till end of season!
Need his experience and versatility if we're gonna win Premier league and europa!

He's significantly better on the ball now. At CB next to VVD he could keep it simple, but playing FB is more demanding technically.

Knight · « **Reply #6795 on:** January 2, 2024, 10:48:47 am »

He’s playing a long way out of position at left back. And yet he’s bossing it. Love it.

Correct take. Southgate have quite consistently picked Gomez whenever he's been on form during a longer period. Would've gone to World Cup 2018 and Euro 2020(2021) if not for injuries. Can see him going to this summer's tournament because of his ability to play across the backline, specifically the left which is a bit of a problem position for England. Could be a valuable squad member when they're back to 23 men instead of 26 now.

kj999 · « **Reply #6797 on:** January 2, 2024, 12:29:39 pm »

He's only 26 and yet next season will be due his testimonial

Samie · « **Reply #6798 on:** January 2, 2024, 01:32:25 pm »

He's only ever known us and Charlton. And at Charlton even though he came through their ranks he only played a year there before we picked him up. His missus is a scouser and so is his kid.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #6799 on:** January 2, 2024, 02:51:58 pm »

Joe is my favorite LFC player. There is just something about him as a person I REALLY like. Maybe because he comes across as a bit shy and unassuming. Not a gobshite, fancy Dan or prima Donna.

Yeah, Robbo and Trent are wonderful players, but there's just something about Joe that I want him to succeed and become the best full-back in the world.

With every game that passes, it looks like wingers are having more and more difficulty with him.

His song is one of my favs too. Incidentally, the rendition last night was one of the loudest from the Kop I've heard for some time. Always a good sign that.

Keep it up Joe lad.
