  • He's in Dubai, his choice, recuperating after surgery.

    Katrien forced to visit?
  • My mate (clang) Tiago is set to join Reading, which might indicate that Joe is close to a return with Liverpool rather than The Terriers?

    A fair shout. Hasn't really worked out for your mate at Liverpool. He was a highly rated young player when he signed from Sporting, and there was talk of getting him to switch his allegiance to England. Never got a look in despite Liverpool having trouble at the back seemingly every season.

    I seem to recall that being one idea, and another them being employed by players' unions. But yeah, it's easy to see how the team employing the doctor could create a conflict of interest between what's best for the team versus what's best, long term, for the player.

    I know I read something on this a while back that cited some potential instances.

    Here is a WashPo article on a Harvard Study recommending doctors not report to teams, but it doesn't cite any actual conflicts of interest:

    when I first watched Charlton Mr Buck was the club's surgeon - not employed

    he operated on Paul Went's knee
  • I will make an effort to watch the Liverpool match tomorrow if Gomez will be playing, really hope he can overcome his injury problems and go on to be the success all us Addicks know he can.

    He operated on my knee as well when I was in Charlton youth team

    Gomez and Stones will be a future England CB pairing... I have absolutely no doubt about that. Kid is a class act
  • There's never been an ex Charlton player I've wanted to see succeed as much as Joe Gomez. Really think he can go all the way to the very top.

    I agree. Quality player.

    Agree.

    Not so sue about John Stones but Gomez is the real deal

    I think once John Stones starts to think as a defender instead of being a ball playing "footballer" he will be immense. The comparison would be Luiz at Chelsea who, in his first spell, made similar mistakes through overplaying in dangerous areas. He doesn't do that so much now and is one of the reasons Chelsea in their last 14 games (in which he has played every minute) have only conceded 4 goals.
  • Was never a Lookman fan. However, Joe Gomez is a proper footballer who will be a top top player. Lookman will be a bench warmer.
  • not much for joe to do in the first half, due to plymouth playing very very deep
  • I am watching this on cricfree, and in my opinion Steve Macmamamamaman is a graceless tosser.
  • Decent block from Gomez (that's how little that he's had to do, I'm commenting on a pretty simple block!).
  • What a shithouse game

    Agreed - terrible game, nearly fell asleep! Joe did OK for what he actually had to do!

    Completely agree - came across very arrogant dismissing Plymouth and criticising them for not playing like Barcelona
  • Radio 5 live commentator said he got exposed for pace by the Plymouth substitute a couple of times and also mentioned he'd been out of first team action for 465 days (I think) but had played 6 under 23 games in his comeback
  • He looked slightly off the pace, no shame considering he hasn't played for over a year
  • I thought Gomez was pretty good. When you get a pass from him, it is direct and comfortable, and the precision of his passing makes it easier for the recipient to control.
    Mind you as the game went on I wanted Plymouth to win because the commentators took patronising, dismissive, and disdainful to a higher than usual level today.
  • I'm surprised they didn't loan him to good Championship side, he needs game time after his long lay off.
  • I don't know what his injury/fitness status is, but it mus the disheartening to watch Can and Lucas play at CB ahead of you.

    Regarding him not going out on loan, I think it was probably due, at least in part, to the fact that Liverpool had 150 games in January and early February. He would really benefit from the old "emergency loan" rule. Think he'd fit in well at Hudds actually...
