I remember players like Shelvey and Parker coming through and thinking “they’ll play for England one day”
With Gomez it was “he’ll captain England one day”
Best academy player I’ve ever seen
You must have had remarkable foresight to see Parker. I didn’t see him play well until arsenal at home when we won 1-0
Parker didn't immediately show how good he was going to be. It was only after his loan spell at Norwich that he looked a proper player. He really added some steel to his game.
Just out of interest I know Joe only played 13 games for us, and I thought at the time we’ve got a proper player on our hands here, he seemed to be on a hover board, and just glided over the turf.
How do you think he compares against Paul Elliott or Richard Rufus at the same age?

I’d imagine he was rested yesterday. When you are playing Southampton at home you can have that luxury and give squad players like Matip a game. As it was he played the second half anyway.
He was definitely rested, they didn’t have Milner or Keita starting either. Milner has been incredible this season. I am sure next weekend against Chelsea, Klopp will revert back to the team he has been playing and Gomez will come back in.
I think Klopp made changes because of the champions league and that they have a bigger and better squad. I also think he was looking at getting a few players some minutes in for the cup game in midweek. No doubt Matip, Shaqiri and Sturridge will start, but they won’t next weekend.
Good experience shown from Joe to get the 160 to training, took the 124 to a ground right near there once and questioned if I was still in the country.
slightly off topic, but .. Luke Shaw reportedly has signed a 5 year deal with Man U during which he will be paid £50 million, this for a pretty inconsistent left back .. by this criteria, Gomez is worth a hell of a lot more than £50 million .. his team mate, the well known artist Van Dyke cost £75 million before wages .. in time Joe will be worth more .. as I have written before, Joe's potentially the 'new Bobby Moore'

Good luck and hope he achieves greatness
Thinking of Mike Bailey but he was already 21 when i saw him and was so long ago. Better than Scott Parker and probably better than Lee Bower.
