Just have to say what a huge compliment it is that Gary Neville was the one who saw his performance at RB and decided it was the best of anyone on the pitch.
Very impressive considering Neville was the country's #1 right back for a number of years and is now well known for his in depth tactical punditry and not being afraid to criticise a bad performance when he sees one.
Guess it was because it was 0-0 yet its a shame that MoTD can never be arsed to concentrate on good defensive work when picking highlights and mainly cover the attacking side.
i.e. Everywhere says Gomez was MoTM yet watching the highlights you barely saw him involved
Those stats are a waste of space though aren't they? (Not saying the performance was.) For example, "3 tackles won" means nothing if the missing stat says "15 tackles lost".

Been saying to people that Gomez and Stones will be our partnership in Russia
Been saying this myself... think it could be the Centre-Back partnership for years to come.
Both know how to play the ball, both are quick... Provided they can be accurate (dont see why not on showing) be a lot better than hoofing it up field and watching it come straight back when we play the likes of Germany / France etc.

Congratulations to @J_Gomez97, @rubey_lcheek and @tammyabraham on their first #ThreeLions call-ups!
Wonder if this is why he's been stalling for the Takeover to happen
By the way, do we get a payment?
