GOATmez hasn’t been the same since Pulisic put him on a poster. On a bright side, Kimmich has been able to recover from that in the past, so maybe he will also.
Gomez has had ups and downs, but they were masked by Matip being healthy and Lovren being here.
After the 2018 WC, Lovren was injured, Gomez took his spot.
Lovren came back and took the spot back. Lovren got injured again. Gomez took the spot, got injured. Matip took over and looked world class for 6 months.
In 19/20, Matip got injured, Gomez got the first shot but had a few bad games, Lovren took over and looked great. Then got injured again.
Gomez took over and looked largely pedestrian, but noone cared as Liverpool were winning and he's not a popular target to pile criticism on.
He's still very young, and he's still inconsistent (Gomez). He would definitely benefit from Matip being healthy and whoever Lovren's replacement will be being available to Klopp.
But he looks really off form this season.
Then again, so does Virgil, but noone dares say it. He looks like Varane post-WC, a shell of his usual self.
