One for Ed25 here. Fabinho absolutely bossed Gomes in midfield. Gomes is ok but Fabinho is on a different level.
I do understand how you think Gomes is so good as he’s probably the best you e seen at Everton for a good while.
Fabinho though is a better player and he comprehensively proved that today.

{Ed025's Note - i really dont know what game you watched bobby, but gomes was the best midfielder on show there mate..

I will have to agree with Ed25 here but not in the way he thinks. Gomez had a very good game. So did Fab, really. Now was Gomez the best mid on the pitch? I don't think so cos the game was pretty ragged in midfield and he lost as many balls in midfield as the other mid's on the pitch so I'd call that a stalemate.

Fabinho was ok today, but have to agree about Gomes. He does look pretty class to be honest. Based on chances I think it deserved to be Liverpool’s day today, but that’s a sickening end for the blues. You’re prediction was pretty spot on Ed.

{Ed025's Note - a draw would have been the fairest thing RITRW, but we move on and im pretty proud of our guys mate..

Fabinho for me played his best game for LFC but Gomes was very good and certainly not the player I watched for Barca. I actually had to check if it was the same player.

Ed's 025 your team did u proud, you called the result pretty much, I think you guys are on the up for sure.

{Ed025's Note - nice one mate, i think so too..

I thought Fabinho was the best midfielder by far and he was only a 7/ 10 at best. I forgot Wijnaldum and Sigurdsson were even playing. Gomes should've conceded a penalty for deliberately swiping Salah in the face and did nothing else but a few aimless runs. Gana was incompetent at even the basics. Keita did nothing when he came on either.

The amount of Everton passes that trickled tamely out for throw ins was embarassing, and aside from Fabinho everyone in our midfield was hiding from the ball. It was a real scrappy game that was occasionally lit up by Mane, Firmino, Bernard or Richarlison. Neither set of players showed up but one team found a way to win.

{Ed025's Note - say no to drugs..

Not buying the Gomes hype at all today.

He showed good technique with a few passes and produced a good highlights reel, but over the whole 90 minutes, I thought he floated in and out of the game. In what way did he have more genuine influence over the match than, let's say Wijnaldum? None whatsoever in as far as I can tell. Didn't seem to be on the ball more than any other midfielder, didn't put in loads of tackles that I recall. Got into the box once to miss a header from 2 yards. Certainly didn't control the game unless 42% possession and second best for all but two 10-15 minute spells in either half is your idea of control.

Clearly very technically adept and become a very good player with the right coaching, but a sprinkling of good moments doesn't make a top class midfielder.

If Jordan Henderson returned the exact same performance for us that Gomes did for Everton today, I reckon people would hammer him as being anonymous.

Mk I think that’s quite red tinted! We gave away a lot of possession and we were cut open a few times. One day mane could have had a couple, but another we could have been 2-0 down.

Got to agree with Ed 025 there, Gomes was probably one of, if not the best player on the pitch for me. Best midfielder I’ve seen at Everton since probably Areta. I’d of said a draw would of been a fair result aswell but there’s nothing better than a late winner against the Ev.

Gomes looked decent at times but when you're playing alongside headless chicken like Gueye, it's hard not to look half good. Just glad he didn't score or we'd never have heard the end of it from ed025!

Yea can’t argue with that and I couldn’t have really complained at all with a draw. This Everton team looks like like it could be the best i’ve seen if they carry on this way. Hard to take but definitely exciting for you lot going forward.

Watch the game again Ed25. Fabinho was constantly breaking up your play and never gave the ball away. Gomes on the other hand didn’t make a single tackle and consistently gave the ball away. He tried though
Don’t get me wrong he’s an ok player. But the difference is someone who does well for Everton is nowhere near good enough for Liverpool.

{Ed025's Note - i expect you to be biased bobby, but even for you this is hitting heights of epic proportions mate..

I personally think gomes was the best midfielder in last game. Always kept the cool head and distribution was good.

Thought Gomes was pretty decent first half, less so the second. I thought Fabinho let a few runners get through him early on which helped Everton get chances and he did have a few missed passes. That was all in the first half. He stepped up when nothing else was happening in the middle and was for me the biggest reason Everton were nullified for second half. Delighted with his showing. I wonder will Everton manage to hold on to Gomez though or is it a loan to buy?

{Ed025's Note - no its just a loan aoe, barca will either take him back or make us pay a fortune for him mate..

Defo kismet that Origi got the winner like that. Payback me thinks.

Gomez wasn’t even the best Gomez on the pitch today.
