"polish fella" did he show a clean pair of heels to his opponent?
Cleaning up the Scots since the 13th century
New? I've been on Gomez's case for 3 seasons, because he has never been good enough, and I'm still on his case because he hasn't improved one bit. I remain aware of Fab's deficiencies, but he's another Jurgen favourite who will play despite them, employed mostly sitting as he has been, his deficiencies are less easily exposed, even though he still managed to lose his man for 2 of the goals we recently conceded, he has improved his distribution a fair bit which I'm happy with, the rest? I'll just have to live with it
Gomez desperately needs a loan, somewhere he will play week in week out in a side that doesn't have an incredible team press and players of Virgil's quality for a partner when he'll have to do LOTS of actual defending, as our system is, Gomez is fine when everyone else is almost perfect, but when he has to do actual defending that involves positional sense and good decisions making in situations those decisions aren't already made for him by our other players, he's one of the poorest in the league, because he has virtually zero experience of playing in a team in which he has to do lots of real defending against better sides

Ahem, absolutely abysmal today, except for his brilliant assist, but in the main part of his role, lost runners, didn't pick up or recognise which man he should be tracking, got caught ball watching long balls while runners went beyong him to make a 3v2 centrally against our 2 CBs and was absolutely responsible for both Brentford's first 2 goals
First goal, has no clue their lad is there, no surprises there, but in order to prevent that goal, all he has to do is plant his left foot further across/forward slightly to protect the ball so it is impossible for an opposition player to play it and he can clear
Second goal, runs from a central position almost on the goal line to try and challenge a player Virgil is already engaging Gomez headless chicken style when all he had to do was run and cover the goal line, fucking schollboy stuff, pathetic decision making

What about robbo then?
Remember when he 'challenged' trent for his attacking play and assists?
Regressed to his first 10games for us, which were huff and puff but pretty much rubbish.
The reason for that remain as it was last season, no Mane or other player on the left to link with to release Robbo, or to make runs for him, or take defenders away to give him those couple of seconds to put in a more measured delivery
Watch our games, everything and I mean practically EVERYTHING we do is on our right, Trent always has Hendo and Mo available to link with and play of and to release him in space to deliver or makes runs to give him more time to deliver, on the left there is virtually nothing now, NOTHING, no-one to do those things for Robbo as there always was before last season's enforced changes.
Just watch, watch how many time he is given the ball or drives it forwards to those positions and Mane's coming infield running away from him and there isn't an option for him to link with a play off within 10 yards of him
