Joe Gomez

[Fosterbloke]

That makes it alright then

To be a human yes.

[Lecter]

To be a human yes.

I really don't get what you are arguing

Yes players make mistakes but some make far more than others....

I would rather have VVD and Kompany than Gomez

[Fosterbloke]

I don't think Gomez has made many mistakes though.

[Lecter]

I thought he was really good today, not massively involved going forward but assured and positionally sound

[Fernandinho]

he looked really comfortable on the ball and played some really intelligent first time balls which took the pressure off. The way he is progressing he will find himself a starting spot in the team even when Clyne is back.

[Fosterbloke]

Can't wait to see him as a centre back, he is such a powerful player and is deceptively quick because of that. He's intelligent and communicates well.

So much credit for coming back from two major injuries to reach this level.

[Slinky Skills]

He's brilliant and he's been fantastic since returning from his injury. A lot of credit has to go to Klopp for bringing him through this last year.

Spot on he’s got a big future at this rate of improvement

That looked a bit nasty. I detest Internationals with everything I've got.

The World Cup I can cope with - the players have a bit of ambition to play in it, and its the World Cup after all. But friendlies and qualifying tournaments can **** right off. How are they even allowed to have friendlies given the amount of money invested in these players, and the nations get them for free? It makes no sense.

I'm not a big fan of internationals but I find that argument a bit strange. Since when is money the most important factor in football?

Don't we all spend most of our time railing against that principle when it applies to football we care about?

From the club's perspective. They invest a huge amount of money in the players via transfer fees, signing on fees and wages, but the nations have the right to take those multi million pound assets, risk them in friendly games and subject them to out of the ordinary training regimes sometimes against the advice of the club.

It's amazing it happens really.

[Red_Polo]

I think the international calendars need to be harmonised and internatlonals kept to a single period of the year allowing domestic season to be slightly shorter. No more friendlies, just qualifiers one year and tournaments the next.

[Patricks_Berger]

It's almost as if there are people with financial interests in international teams/ international football, who take no costs, no risks, but make loads of money out of it - who are rigging the whole system. Sure it can't be true tho.
