He has made the squad tomorrow,so he must be....

Fair fucks to the kid.

Is there actually any video highlights of Gomez defending? Pretty much all the videos I’ve seen has been about his crosses and overall attack. Not sure what to make of that. Hopefully he’s not another Angelino or Zinchenko, decent forward but lousy in defence. Will be exciting to watch him!

I'll happily take another Zinchenko, thank you very much.

If that’s the case there was no point in selling him. The reason we sold him was to upgrade quality, not get another one like him.

Zinchenko wanted to leave. I find it hard to grasp why people find this tough to understand.

Have you thought about why he wanted out? Because a better leftback was coming in and his limited game time would get even more limited. Most likely City revealed their plans to add Cucurella and opened the door for Zinchenko to leave. It was obvious he wanted to stay here.

His reasons are immaterial: every player knows that they have to compete. I love Zin, and I understand his reasons for leaving, but you have to be up for the challenge.

Exactly. We were overconfident in getting a replacement. If we could go back then I'm sure we'd have tried to keep him. But let's just give the new guy a chance first.

Cancelo last season made 83 tackles and was dribbled past 45 times

Zinchenko made 20 tackles and was dribbled past 9 times

Gomez made 53 tackles and was dribbled past 16 times

So at least statistically Gomez is harder to get past. He intercepted much better than Zin but slightly less than Joao(who is very good at it). He blocked more passes and crosses than both whilst Zin was comfortably the best at blocking shots.
Anderlecht averaged 55% possession which would have been 4th most in the Prem last season so it's not like he's putting out those numbers in a defensive team.
