Itās the year 2070, and heās still stuck on the bench coming on as a late sub.

Good to see JoGo getting recognition from the national media, as well as from our captain.

I wonder why Slot chose Gomez as CB and Quansah at RB - perhaps he trusts Gomezā experience more? I really hope itās not the recurrence of 2022/23 when Gomez played a world class game against Man City, only to become a disaster at centre back for the rest of the season. That against Newcastle was one of his worst games ever, the goal Gordon scored was laughable.
Itās just Gomez.
He has the same strong and weak points he had when he was at his best at the start of 18/19 until his injury and part of 19/20. That was his peak, so it all looked better in runs of games.
Canāt relax too much and think heās a vastly improved player if he comes in after a long time and plays a good game at CB.
Also, canāt be too surprised with his ability to suddenly come in when needed, anywhere in defence, and do a good job for the team.
But give him a run of games in his main position, his weaknesses (especially when defending transitions, going backwards and simply in deeper areas) have not gone away.
It shows what and why he is exactly a backup player. How long that continues to satisfy us to have him as our 3rd (right now) or 4th CB and basically our 9th defender (first one to cover in hard times), weāll see.

Not turning his back/arse to the opponent when he defends going backwards is also something that should be a ābig thingā. But that will never change at this stage, itās Joe Gomez. Strengths and weaknesses. In 2018 and 2024. But good for him, if heās getting closer to scoring his first goalā¦
