We aren't pushing for top four yet.

We're a side that finished 12th as of five league games ago. It's a long old season. We've had a fantastic start.

He's better than our other midfielders in the pecking order.

Who would you have played instead of him today?

Allan and Doucoure were pretty poor on the ball today - Allan more so, mainly in the first half. They were hassled and harried by a quality side, it happens.

Gomes wasn't great today. Frustrating because he got into some good positions and fluffed it. But Sigurdsson hasn't got the athleticism to start in the middle against Liverpool, that's for sure.
and Gomes has the athleticism?

Gomes is no more of an athlete than Sigurdsonn nowadays, he runs like he’s underwater. At least Sigurdsonn has quality with the ball at his feet, something Gomes has completely lost somehow

Honestly mate do these people not watch our games? I liked Gomes when he first came, used to actually carry the ball forward and be positive, the feller just floats around doing absolutely F all now. But it’s fine because apparently he ‘keeps things ticking over’. Never heard so much shyte, I want more from a midfielder than that
 
It's all confidence with Gomes. He started well enough but seemed shaky in 2nd half. He needs a few games where he/we dominates to build him up again. Showed signs of it, but still looks like anxiety to me.

I definitely think Ancelotti will be looking to swap Rabiot in there, and I can only imagine that midfield with Allan, Doucoure, James and Rabiot.

I still think Gomes has ability, but we have to remember, it's an entirely new midfield unit who have played 3 or 4 games together, so it's early days and still trying to gel and learn each others games.

I'm not gonna use a game against that juiced up gang of freaks as the measuring stick.
 
He just provides zero defensively or in the oppositions box so there’s so much pressure on his passing and link up play. James wasn’t at his best today but he still creates a difference and is a goal threat. Doucoure didn’t play well but he’s still getting about the pitch, and can offer some buffer to the defence. Gomes just doesn’t offer these things and he needs to be bang on to have an influence. Something he very rarely is. This isn’t a blip, it’s a trait.
 

Would have likes him to do what tiago was doing drop deep with allan and let dacoure go box to box. Has talent just needs to get back to basics has players to pass either side james rich dcl.
