Match Thread: Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Carabao Cup

[Red October]

I think he's a back-up for a reason. He's been valuable to us as he's been able to come in and cover multiple positions.

Correct.. Also had a fantastic spell alongside Virgil. Injuries have also been extremely unkind to his Liverpool career.

You don't get ten years at Liverpool under several managers by being "largely error prone".

Our longest serving player?? Cheap and versatile, but does need a run of games to get up to speed and those run of games rarely happen. I think he's a better FB than CB but only my opinion.

I give you one name, Lucas Leiva. He may not have been as inconsistent or error prone or Gomez, but he wasn't exactly Rodri was he? And before anyone mentions him getting our Player of the Year award in the 10-11 season, he got the award because he like Gomez was decent at times (but not great) in a season where we were piss poor e.g. we finished 6th, went out of both the FA cup and League cup in the 3rd round, and we went out of the EL in the last 16.

He's been under Rodgers,Hodgson,Dalglish,Klopp and Slot and been involved in every trophy we've won in that spell. He must have done something right.
Not many premier League teams if any have a CB as good who's willing to be a back up player, every team that's successful needs players like that.

Great points well made

The word "involved" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Looks like we've nailed down this run of defeats to joe gomez.

Gomez was involved in number 19

Gomez played every minute of 21 PL games in our 2019/20 title winning season.
Won 19
Drew 1
Lost 1

28 PL appearances in total that season.
Played 2 thousand minutes, or 1,999 if you're nit picking. The 11th most minutes that year in our PL campaign.

His 7 other games...
Subbed off at half time once, a loss away to Cituae,
And subbed in, on the 43rd minute away to Everton 0-0.
The other 5 were late minute sub appearances in the 83rd minute, or even later.
5 wins.

He missed 1 game, and was an unused sub in 9 games. 8 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss.

He definitely went in to lagging mode after that error/assist the other night.
