  • Thought Joe was pretty much faultless against City yesterday.Liverpool will play probably in excess of 40 more games this season,I am sure he will get his share of games.
  • Not his house but this is the type of property that approximately £2.5m buys. Not exactly a semi-detached maisonette

    Whoever furnished this house needs help.
  • Konate is out until basically the new year. Joe has plenty of time to cement his place in the team

    It's like if someone decided to furnish the place as an ironic satire of The Only Way is Essex. It's rare to see the inside of a house and be able to picture the owners immediately.

    Admittedly I was over exaggerating - my point was that £2.5m doesn’t seem a lot for a premier league footballer in that part of the world.

    Unfortunately it is the way of the world up north (and Essex) that taste disappears as soon as you have any cash.

    If you are into property porn, you’ll have looked at thousands of houses at various price points, and have seen the difference in how people furnish their homes in different parts of the country.

    Matthew Southall is perhaps a good example. If you ever saw the state of his house and his missus, you’d know what “Manchester chic” is all about.

    I understand that but that might actually serve to evidence what I've been saying about Gomez having enough money to be content with life and the world that he lives in. One of the most extreme examples of that is Marcelo Bielsa who, when manager of PL Leeds, lived in a one-bedroomed flat above a sweet shop in Wetherby. When he first came here Leeds put him up at Rudding Park, a country house hotel near Harrogate that boasts a spa and two golf courses and where rooms cost £320 a night. That was precisely the sort of place that Bielsa hated. Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, when managing Manchester United for two years lived in a suite at the Lowry Hotel that cost £816 a night. Some people do not need to evidence to others or themselves the trappings of their success.

    How dare you! Our leopard skin sofas are the height of good taste.

    Seriously, Wilmslow is overpriced for up here, as are the other so-called Cheshire Golden Triangle towns of Prestbury and especially Alderley Edge. For the same sort of money in south Cheshire you can get this https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/152268779#/?channel=RES_BUY

    You can take the boy out of south London…

    I write this safe in the knowledge that your house will be beautifully furnished given your roots.

    Thanks for sharing your home Bob and very much an abode that I imagined you lived in. It must have been a serious reality check, though, having to sell up given that you are now living off a miserly pension and having already been forced to let the butler, the chef, the maid, the cleaner and the three gardeners go.

    Don’t go over the top. It was two gardeners.

    Is it wrong of me to think that that's hideous?

    The building's okay, but the decor...

    If it weren't for the lack of subtlety I might think Homer Simpson was involved.

    Maybe he’s pretty down to earth and not a flash bastard.

    Not wrong to think it's hideous because it is all about taste. As I said it's not Joe Gomez property but the sort of house that £2.5m might buy in that particular area. 
  • bit of a small garden though

    It was indeed a reality check, having to trade down from this:


    I'm taking the staff with me though, faithful old retainers that they are.

    Oi! stop claiming my place as your own, you were only renting the blacksmiths cottage from us! We were nice enough to let you use the tennis courts once a week but wont be making that mistake again.
  • Glad you've turned this thread back on-topic @Addick Addict
  • A shame MOTD only went on about  Van Dyke even though he dropped a clanger.
  • Sponsored links:


  • As well.
    He has always been a quality player and he deserves to be playing week in, week out, not plugging gaps at Liverpool.
    Plugging gaps is what has no doubt helped prolong his career there though as they don't really want to get rid of such a versatile homegrown player who can play pretty much anywhere across the back 4.

    And even played in midfield last year. He's rewarded handsomely for it too
  • Anyone would think I was his agent the way  keep banging on about him. If we can set aside any prejudices about Liverpool fans we might have, but in relation to (5) above, this is what some of their supporters think of his importance to them and thought of his performance yesterday :

    "Gomez/VVD kept 9 clean sheets in 10 games at one point during 19/20. They went seven games without conceding at another point that year. Their record when playing together is elite."

    "Never in doubt, him and Virg absolutely shit clean sheets"

    "What a player"

    "Colossus"

    "What a performance today……magnificent display"

    "Great to see Joe back him and Virgil were faultless"

    "Rolled back the years. Such a good footballer"

    "Always liked Joe something very likeable about him and underrated player too"

    "We seem to forget how good he and Virgil were togther. He had that dip in form but was fantastic today."

    "It's undoubtedly a blow to lose Konate to injury but I'm so pleased to see Gomez come in and do well. He had that raking quarter back pass landing on a sixpence all through the first half!"

    "Apparently Virgil texted Joe, Robbo and Trent last night. The text simply said: "We're gettin the band back together" Oh yeah!"

    "Showed his quality today. I thought his possession play was outstanding"

    "The VVD Gomez clean sheet run continues"

    "No drop off whatsoever. Great performance"

    "Boss game from Joey! But it would be a bit uncomfortable to walk with Haaland in his pocket, I hope he doesn't forget to take him out..."

    "One scary moment, and that might've been Kelleher's fault. Otherwise, brilliant!"

    "Been saying play him as a CB for the longest time. He’s class"

    "Brilliant Joe Gomez"

    "So glad we kept him in the summer. He is going to be vital for us this season. So versatile and dependable. Some fantastic passing from him today too! Delighted for him."

    "Watching the game back, half an hour in announcer  "Gomez". He pauses and watches Gomez, who hits a 35-40 yard diagonal exact vvd special  (but in the left side direction) right on to Gakpos toe. Announcer grows excited. "Expansively picking out Gakpo. Nice take by the Dutchman." Kind of sums us up atm  they were both glued to the bench somewhat and look how good they are. So great to watch this stuff. I always feel that people forget just how fast Joe Gomez is as well as how natural his athleticism. When he came up as a kid and rogers stuck him at lb total newbie and he breezed it and then some in a startlingly incredible way. His careers been blighted by injuries but the base model is a rolls royce. modern science and very hard work hes been all the way back for a couple of years now maybe more, this guy is a potent football player."
       
    "The goal is coming THIS SEASON and it is going to be beautiful"

    "I've always believed in the lad. I just think hes been unlucky firstly with injuries and also to be competing with truly great CBs like Virg, Matip and Konate. Hopefully he gets this run in the side and definitively proves what an asset he is. I would prefer he never got injured ofc but I said it in Konate thread I was looking forward to seeing Gomez (and Quansah)"

    "Having your first choice 11 is always great,  but for me football is also about these beautiful moments someone steps up when needed."

    "Fucking love the lad"

    "If the big man scores, Anfield's roof will ilft up by 6 inches.  LOL"

    "Remarkable talent and consistency. He can be out of the squad for months... then comes in and does as good a job as ever."
    ... bit like Stevie Brown.
  • ... bit like Stevie Brown.
    Not until he’s played in goal.
  • very sound v cittteeehhh yesterday, he's getting better as he 'ages'
  • Another impressive performance today
  • Out of contract in 2027. Wonder if they will look to move him on this summer as it'll be their last chance to get a decent fee for him.

    As good a player as he is and can cover anywhere across the back line, he isn't really someone they can rely on. I think he averages something like 15 league games a season over his time there.
