Joe migh never score. But he will always be a key player.

Doesnât get to leave us without scoringâŚ
Itâs the year 2070, and heâs 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.

There has to be a penalty somewhere down the road that Mo can give up

On a side note, poor Gomez, only the second-most talked about Joe on this forumâŚ

I wonder why Slot chose Gomez as CB and Quansah at RB - perhaps he trusts Gomezâ experience more? I really hope itâs 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.
Itâs 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.
Canât relax too much and think heâs a vastly improved player if he comes in after a long time and plays a good game at CB.
Also, canât 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), weâll see.

Iâd say Joey Gâs ups have been our most pleasant surprise this season followed closely by The Gravâs turning with the ball

Not turning his back/arse to the opponent when he defends going backwards is also something that should be a âbig thingâ. But that will never change at this stage, itâs Joe Gomez. Strengths and weaknesses. In 2018 and 2024. But good for him, if heâs getting closer to scoring his first goalâŚ
Thanks Livvy, that was some performance from Joe, best bit is the pass on 1:08 mins, that is what is meant by passing between the lines, brilliant pass and led to a goal

Joeâs passing ability, and particularly the way he can punch the ball accurately through midfield, is massively underrated. He is on a par with Virgil in terms of his ability on the ball.
Although the best thing about him is that his middle name is Dave. Not David. Dave.

They named him after Nicholas Lyndhurstâs character in Only Fools and HorsesâŚ
Neither as good as big Joel M
