OPINION
Liverpool may have won 2-1 against Genk at Anfield on Tuesday night, but it was not exactly a classic performance by Jurgen Klopp’s side and centre-back Joe Gomez is someone who has been widely criticised by fans on Twitter for his display. Gomez, 22, made his 10th appearance of the season along Virgil van Dijk at centre-back against the Belgian side but the England international did not look anywhere near his best. Gomez spent a lot of last season injured and we are still yet to see the former Charlton defender return to his best form this season. It’s November now and Gomez should really have rediscovered his form and fitness but that just does not seem to be the case. It is very worrying and it makes you wonder how much longer Klopp can be patient about the 22-year-old’s form. Dejan Lovren is a lot older and is not exactly amazing so one of those two needs to step up massively while Joel Matip is injured.

A decent win Redmen, but we struggled at times.
Although Mo kept the defense on their toes, his decision making was very poor, not a good game for him. Keita started well, but faded in the 2nd half. Gomez poor too. Really need to step it up several notches for Sunday#LFC #YNWA— Wirral Kloppite ?? (@paulgtrainer) November 5, 2019
Who then?
Gomez was not great tonight— Y. (@vega_punk74) November 5, 2019
Naby disappeared in the second half and looks still off the pace… gettin tired of waiting for him to come good. Gomez looks lost a times and to many sideways passes. Napoli draw was great news #lfc

Result all that matters tbh. Not overly impressed with Naby. Gomez was the weak link. Everyone else was fine. Ox such a threat from anywhere around 30yards from goal. Was hoping for more but on to Sunday.

Ox deserves a starting position, fabinho bossed in midfield. Getting worried with conceding every game. Watching gomez constantly out of position is a worry really need a world class CB next to VVD. Salah really needs to practise his passing

I really want Joe Gomez to be a great player, but his positioning is horrendous!
