Don’t think he has enough energy for a Poch team but he is certainly talented.I was pretty impressed with his passing when he was on the pitch tbh. Didn't notice him giving it away much for them as I was keeping an eye on him.
Could look a lot better in a better side IMO.
Forward play looks promising its his defensive side that looks a bit lacking
I have the same issues with him now as I had with him at Barca. He's slow, has a very low work rate and lacks concentration. There is no doubting his passing ability and vision. But his defensive side is awful. Deles goal yesterday summed it up. If Gomes hadn't stopped tracking back he would have got the deflection. We need someone more dinamic with a higher work rate in our midfield. Essentially a box to box player.
Where are you getting that from? I had a look on Squawka and on paper Gomes looks better than Winks this season - more shots, blocks, duels won, tackles won, 90% pass completion, etc - after roughly the same number of minutes (~700).
As I said, I haven't seen Gomes play and actually think Winks is much better than the stats suggest, but unless you're talking about Gomes' Barca form (he was shite for them) why do you think he's so bad? The Everton fans love him and are desperate to sign him and they watch him week in week out.
He’s not very good. Flatters to deceive and goes missing in games. Everton is his level.
I saw that and was shocked. Couldn't believe it - no-one seemed to comment on it on MOTD or SkySports. Dele ran from behind him and he made no attempt to get that. Terrible!Looking at the video again...Gomes actually saw Dele running to the ball and just watched making no attempt to try to do anything to put him off

The problem is he played in a better side at Barcelona and he was poor there too.Could look a lot better in a better side IMO.
A lot of people making a judgement on him based on one game...I haven’t seen much of him either but I’m sure a few opposition supporters may think/or thought the same of Dele and Eriksen. I’m not saying Gomes is on their level but between our two players I quoted they certainly have had more than their fair share of ‘off’ games in the past couple of seasons.He looked avarage in that game we dont need a passenger in midfield we need someone who can control it

I think both have come across as very lazy when not in form, Eriksen has lacked the bottle/determination to track back and Dele has looked like he can’t be arsed at times. Certainly not like Lamela who busts a gut constantly...all opinions though and don’t want to seem like I’m bashing our own players.Off games certainly but never could you accuse them of being lazy or disinterested and Gomes was definitely lazy and disinterested against us.
