Many Liverpool fans have said countless times ( agreed with me ) how bad Gomez is.
Not on here they haven't.
I'm seeing a lot of unwarranted slating going the way of Gomez, some of it quite ironic given you lot have Maguire who cost 80mill along with the other complete shower sh*t that's been there in recent years like Jones and Lindelof.
But you aside, the general slating of Gomez seems well over the top. Yes he was poor vs Napoli but Trent was far worse and Virgil didn't cover himself in glory either, giving away a 2nd penalty in the opening 7 games, in similar fashion to the first when he got beaten by Mitrovic. The only goal that Gomez was really a large part at fault was the one where he should have passed the ball back to Alisson but tried to turn away from the Napoli player instead.
The year we won the title, Gomez was first choice alongside Virgil for large parts and our longest runs without conceding was with them 2 at the back and arguably he was playing better than Virgil too and there was a lot of calls for him to be Englands first choice CB.
Last season was another season of disruption for him but he laregly played at RB and he didn't do a bad job at all, in fact he played very well there and surpassed peoples expectations in terms of his ability to get forward and cross the ball.
Gomez was one of only a few to be able to hold their heads up against the bitters and I think it's short memories that have led to the slating he's getting because in every game this season, at one stage or another all of the CB's - Matip, Virgil, Gomez and Phillips have been complete sh*te and have been directly at fault for a goal.
It's very easy for people to forget how well a player can do and remember their good form but very easy to remember a bad game.
