Coach Jurgen Klopp was compelled to start Joe Gomez and Joel Matip because Ibrahima Konate was hurt and Virgil van Dijk was suspended.

However, Liverpool saw considerable success because to this combo. Liverpool’s victory at Aston Villa, which they won 3-0, marked their first Premier League clean sheet of the year.

Journalist Neil Jones rated defender Joe Gomez as a bright spot for The Kop last night. After the win, Jones wrote on Twitter: “Joe Gomez’s best game for Liverpool in a long time. He was brilliant today.”

According to Sofascore, Gomez completed 103 out of 108 passes, achieving a 95% accuracy rate, along with winning 5 of 7 duels (71% success) and making 2 clearances and 1 precise tackle. He also successfully completed 3 long passes against Aston Villa.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold recently injured, Gomez could be a great alternative on the right wing, having played at right-back in the past.
