Jurgen's comments on the last international call ups
I thought Jurgen made a bit of a tit of himself with his comments on Gomez to be perfectly frank, Gomez isn't a good defender, he's never been or likely to be a good defender, unless he has a successful loan spell at a team in which he has to do an awful lot of actual defending.
For me Gomez and Fab are two of those players a manager has incredible favouritism for and towards that the vast majority of people really don't understand and/or isn't backed up by their performances or the results or their contribution towards results when they play.
Stones has his moments and makes errors, far fewer now, only rare lapses, he is a much better defender than Gomez, just miles better, he's better in the air in both boxes, scores goals from set pieces and a far better passer of the ball than Gomez too, he'd be a much better defender for us to have in our ranks than Gomez is, he'd actually be useful
Jurgen moaning than Stones got picked and played and Gomez didn't, honestly, just shows how incredibly blind he is to Gomez's limitations, Hendo and Fab were both better in the games they played at CB last season, especially when they had to read the game and do actual real defending than Gomez has ever been, as was Phillips
