[Albion] Gomez is our Jude Bellingham

[Easy 10]

There. I said it.

The powerful physique. The way he can drop a shoulder and go past a player like they're not there. The perfectly weighted threaded through-balls. The sheer presence of the man.

He's just an incredible driving force. They didn't show a replay, but that bit in the first half when he collected it on the edge of our box and ploughed on through 2 players before releasing it....kinell.

I like him.

 

[ac gull]

it was just as good on tv too

 

[albionfan37]

He’s some player. When he fully understands where the runners are going to be he’s going to be very tricky to play against.

 

[WhingForPresident]

He looked like a Gross/Mac Allister hybrid today, massively impressive.

Neither of the aforementioned legends put in a performance that good this early in their Albion careers either...

 

[HangletonGull]

100 per cent this Gomez is going to be a monster

 

[aolstudios]

He's going to be very, very good, isn't he?

 

[jcdenton08]

Let’s not get too excited. I remember Abdul Razak

 

[Hugo Rune]

The perfectly weighted threaded through-balls.

The two in the first half, the first where Mitoma just edged it wide and the second for the penalty, utterly joyful.

This guy is really good and looks nothing like a £10m player…….a lot, lot better.

 

[Guinness Boy]

He was sooooo good in the first half. Does need to learn how to pace himself but he has a beautifully delicate touch and yet a box to box presence.

Like.

 

[Munchkin]

Exceptional first half. Dropped off second half. When he’s fully match fit we have some player on our hands. Him and Baleba will some partnership.

 

[Munkfish]

We have someone who may take the crown of the best player to wear the number 25 shirt. What an absolute baller.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Great first half but faded in second. It was his first start so understandable. Baleba and Gomes in midfield looks very promising.

 

[Weststander]

Loved the first half trio or Gomez, Rutter and Pedro, the normally assured Plucky defenders were ripped apart.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

We have someone who may take the crown of the best player to wear the number 25 shirt. What an absolute baller.

Hmmm....will have to go a long way to top Zamora,

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Does he score goals too?

 

[JOLovegrove]

If we can keep a midfield of Gomez and Baleba........

 

[Munkfish]

Hmmm....will have to go a long way to top Zamora,

Zamora is my favourite player of all time. It would take so much to take that crown. Im not usually one to jump on one performance but god him and baleba together in midfield is mouth watering. If we see more of the same and some goals added. I can see him being right up there.

agreed Zamora feels slightly inevitable as
One of the greats. However, Georgino is making a good case and gomez tonight was amazing. Calderon still is my favourite but there are a few players in the current team who are so dangerously likeable that it is becoming a tricky thought

 

[Justice]

He played well, his first start and now he’s Bellingham level?
Holy mo.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

He's the strangest looking player: I kept watching him make moves and thinking it looked like he was running in treacle, and yet there he was, bursting past opponents with the merest drop of a shoulder.

Thought he (quite reasonably) faded a little in the second, but let's not forget he's come from the MLS, a much slower league where his role probably consisted of "win the ball, get it to Messi". I thought tonight (and his other substitute appearances) have been very promising indeed.

I hope the level of his performance was visible to those watching on TV.
