And we know Gomez is no slouch in there.
Also I think it would prove conclusively to those who keep wanting to see Trent in the midfield, just how poorly equipped he is for that role.
Worth the try tbf as it would be bloody great if he could do it. Would solve a big problem and get him into a more dangerous area without risking the gaping holes he leaves at RB.
Whilst i think Gomez is a disaster at CB as he doesn't possess the skills set, decisions making, mind set or bravery and front footed defending ability of Matip or Konate, I think he can offer us real solidity at RB, it makes us stronger defensively, because Konate and or Matip are used to having to defend for Trent anyway, and with Hendo at No6, we know we'll have a player who will drop back in and help his defence out rather than be casually jogging back having been the one to allow our press to be broken
I don't see why we shouldn't try this for the Wolves game, in theory Gomez can help regain some confidence by helping us be more compact defensively and Trent can help us be far more creative and give better service to our forwards from midfield.
I think we'll be far more solid with Hendo at No6 and Bajcetic at LCM also
