No player is immune to criticism, names don’t matter nor status, Joe Gomez is a fantastic defender/ CB, but at the moment he is far from his best, we all seen how good he is last season, after returning from injury he fought his way back to partner Virgil, at the moment he is simply not good enough, whether he’s carrying another knock, his confidence is low, or maybe something else on a personal note, who knows,
Jürgen sees him everyday, as do the physio’s etc, so I doubt there are any niggles hampering him, it might be confidence, every player has a slump in form, maybe he needed a longer pre-season and it’s taking him longer to kick into gear, f**k knows, but he really needs to shake out of it fast, we’re low in CB’s as it is with Matip still out.
If Thiago is back for the derby, we might see Fab with Virgil, we can’t afford a off key Gomez going in to face those bitter bas**rds!
