Joe Gomez is the real deal and is destined for greater things but he's been unlucky to have picked up injuries at a club that seems to have had more than its fair share of late which tends to suggest that it's not the players that are injury prone but that certain practices at the club may be the cause.
Joe is a future England star. In fact, has he of been fit all season, I reckon he could've made the England Euros squad (however, not if Roy stuck with only picking 3 CBs and not if Brendan Rodgers continued to play him as LB). I really rate him.

Completely agree. He's the business and will be a top player.
If he comes back the same player. If he loses his pace that's a part of his game that made him stand out over other centre backs. Really hope he recovers, could be our best ever academy player if he does.

Jürgen Klopp believes Liverpool will reap the benefits of securing Joe Gomez on a new long-term contract due to the enormous potential the defender possesses.
The 19-year-old penned fresh terms - which will come into effect from July 1, 2017 - with the Reds at Melwood on Friday afternoon to dedicate his future to the club.
The news comes in the same month Gomez made his long-awaited first-team return from the injury setbacks that had sidelined him for 15 months, as he featured in the FA Cup meetings with Plymouth Argyle.
And while Klopp feels the England U21 international has plenty to offer Liverpool now, he is confident he will continue to develop into an even better player over the course of his new deal.
The manager told Liverpoolfc.com: "I am really excited about this news because of the incredible potential Joe has - and now we know he will be fulfilling it with us at LFC.
"He has had setbacks since he has been here, none more so than his injury, but the really top players react to setbacks and problems in the most positive way possible and he has done that.
"You can see here every day at Melwood in the way the players and staff interact with him, what a popular guy he is with everyone and that is because of his positive attitude, even when he's faced the most difficult of challenges.
"What we can give him is the precious commodity of time; we will give him the time to develop and improve, to learn even more and to become stronger and better.
"We will invest our time into him and allow him the space to develop and become the player we know he can be. Today's contract announcement only strengthens this resolve. He will have a big role to play in our future, but he's also important for our present.
"He has all the attributes you need to succeed at the very highest level in his position. That is on the physical and the mental side, he has it all. But I think it's his hunger and willingness to learn that will serve him best in his career."
Fantastic news for him, but also what confidence that must bring to see your manager believe in you that much.
Klopp can see how incredibly good he is going to be, Gomez potentially does have it all. He has a brilliant manager coaching him to be a better player and I am really excited to see how well he does in the coming years.

Oh for us to see this coming from a Charlton manager, believing it and seeing it happen.
Well done to Joe Gomez on his new contract and that's a resounding endorsement from Klopp.
Hopefully, Joe can force his way into the side in the second half of the season and nail down a place in central defence. He has all the attributes to be one of the very best defenders in the Premier League.
This is what's wrong with football. Joe'a a fantastic prospect but rewarding a player with a new contract when he's hardly played a match for them is ridiculous.

Superb player. Real quality.

F*** off Duchatelet.

1st minute, Wolves score, not JG's fault, shocking marking by others.
Glad we sold him now for a few mil
I hope he bounces back from this
