Cornish Steve Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Gomes is a real problem, I think. It's not that he's a bad player, but he's meant for the European leagues and not the Premier League. His almost casual nature flows to the rest of the team, and the levels of energy and urgency just drop. Yes, I am being a little unfair - at the start of the move that led to our goal at Newcastle, he's the player on the left battling for the ball before it goes to the middle and is won by Coleman - but it's more a matter of style and mentality than anything else. Once again, it reveals the importance of midfield: everything hinges on that - which must be why Lampard made late moves for van de Beek and Alli. For the next two games, we need a replacement for Allan who's just as determined and uncompromising. Maybe it's van de Beek or maybe it's not. Can Gordon translate his attitude to that role? For sure, it's not Gomes. AlbanyNYToffee and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I thought it was aimed at the whole team but interested in why you thought it was aimed at him. I said the bollocks comment was aimed at the players I also said allowing opponents to stroll in the box was Gomes - "I guess". although I am sure there were others who did it with less consequence. Gomes was dropped/sick after his Southampton performance and I imagine that if lampard can find a suitable replacement he will be sick again. On 20/03/2022 at 18:04, Hafnia said: gloves are off and he’s spot on. The bollocks he refers to is him basically calling the players gutless cowards…. Referred to allowing opponents to stroll in the box, Gomes I guess. He’s had enough of this shower. Let’s hope we manage to stay up, I think he is going to have some fun with a big red pen going through players names. he’s right about tactics…. The first 15 showed that the set up was good enough, what wasn’t good enough is the players ability to concentrate and apply themselves for any longer than that.

badaids Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Gomes has been terrible since he came back from injury, but it hasn’t always been like that. When he arrived on loan he was amazing - I remember loads of games when his ability to retain and carry the ball with 2 or 3 thugs beating on him was incredible. He didn’t play like Fellaini, but his effect on the ball was the same. For a while, Spurs were going to rob us off him. Whats happened to Gomes - apart from injuries - is that he’s been ground down, like so many other players have. To the point where it looks like he probably dreads even pulling on a shirt. It’s a symptom of the wider sickness at the club, and it’s the thing that really needs sorting out. As for the thread title - we ain’t getting 40 points. We might 35 or 37 and it should hopefully be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was an absolute Gomes fan when he first arrived, he looked immense in his first game against Man United and in many other games in the load period he was sensational. The truth is that even in his loan period he had really bad dips - like night and day difference. I was all for buying him but I was very cautious and I think I referred to him as bit of a Ross Barkley.... loads of talent but seriously inconsistent. The injury from Son was not a career changer, it was a clean injury and his recovery was quite swift. He came back and despite no match fitness looked very very good... yet when he got match fitness he became crap again. In many ways he is like Dele Alli... if you can get the fire burning inside him and get him psychologically up for it he can play.... but he cant. Imagine if he had Jordan Hendersons mentality?

Elston Gunnn Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Gomes — I’ve supported him consistently, because he’s superb at ball control, usually a dependable passer, sometimes a brilliant passer. But he’s way too slow to defend. I don’t think it’s effort. Opponents run past him, so we’re lucky if he doesn’t pick up a yellow in the first half. He can only play well in the middle 50-60% of the pitch. Especially with Allan out, Gomes cannot play in a 2-man midfield. Has to be 3 in midfield, playing through Gomes as an ACM, but not depending on him to be a DCM. Getting to 35 — Virtually no chance to get to 40, so it’s good news we won’t need to. But it’s bad news we need to get to 35. Biggest matches are away to Watford and Burnley, home to Brentford, Palace, Leicester. If we lose to Burnley and Watford, just can’t see us staying up. If we draw both of those, still very difficult, so we need 4 points from those 2 matches. London Blue and RPG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Maybe Gomes was so good because he had Gueye - the extremely well paid recruitment team probably should have seen this and recruited accordingly when the opportunity was there. In reality, we sold Gueye and bought Gomes, Gbamin and Delph in the same window - I actually think that window is on par with the Gylfi, Keane, Sandro splurge for getting us in this mess. If we’d got the 3 midfield signings right (plus Iwobi and Kean) then maybe we’d have fixed some of the Koeman damage. plaidharper and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad all over Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 An international break isn't good. More time to focus on our dire position than try to be optimistic (?) for the upcoming game. I really don't think we can count on 100% effort from Richi or Dom, likely want to be off in the summer. Pickford too but I think he will do his best. Those out of contract/loan won't give a shit which leaves it on the shoulders of Gordon, Godfrey, Gray, Branthwaite and hopefully Patterson gets a chance after the Scotland game. Allan and Doucs blow hot and cold. Mina a sicknote, Vitaliiy head understandably elsewhere. Coleman, Keane, Holgate and Kenny found wanting. Sorry state of affairs.

Come on, guys: We deserved to tie City at home, so why shouldn't we beat United? Realism is one thing, but there's too much pessimism around here right now. Very possible. I could see it. My concern is the atmosphere for home games. If the crowd are up for it (Arsenal, Leeds, Newcastle) we can get some wins. If the crowd is quiet (Wolves and plenty of others) I can see us struggling. I’m genuinely going to the game as concerned about the crowd as I am the team. I know this team is a let down waiting to happen, but the crowd can drag them out of it when in the mood. United and Leicester could be massive, unexpected points on the board, if we’ve got a crowd who fancy it.

You are bright about the team, a let down waiting to happen. if we survive then I am thoroughly going to enjoy the clear out. lampard will be giving plenty of youth a chance.
