Gomes is becoming a liability again

[elvis7754]

Agree with original poster. Those that are having a go need to open their eyes.

Gomes has been through some fantastic spells but there is always a mistake around the corner.

Every top team needs a top goalkeeper. I don't think we have one at present, as much as I have a soft spot for Gomes.

There are some fuckin clowns in this thread.gomes regularly makes world class saves.he is the best keeper we had for atleast 20 years. Every keeper makes mistakes as does every outfield player.did u not see reina let the ball through his legs in the europa league?are gonna tell me he is a liabilty??you kind of fans are a liabilty to thfc.

Yeah he conceded an unlucky penalty and a stupid goal, but not many would have saved the effort he saved from Palacios' header and many other shots he's saved this season. He's won us more points than he's lost.

How was the Drogba goal his fault? yes he could have stood up to it but it was hit so hard. He was taking a chance that the ball was going to be struck with some sort of placement and most likely down low. Instead Drogba just smacks it as hard as he could. He was still unlucky not to stop it.

What about the keeper at the other end. Easily beaten at his near post. Sure Chelsea fans are screaming for him to replaced. Face it gomes save us much more than he lets us down.

Actually coming from West London I know/interact with a significant amount of Chelsea fans I frequently hear them moaning about Cech and how he has never been the same since the Hunt incident and they need better etc

Spurs aren't the only club with knee jerk fans you know, did you see the amount of Wenger out Arsenal fans jamming up the lines on 'Your on sky sports' last night?

Gomes was at fault for their goal, its a horrendous error akin to the one at Fulham. He has to save it, simple as.

But he makes some good saves, and he's still struggling to find his top form. But I think he will be back as good as ever

So if a ball is hit at a keeper its not his fault as he isnt expecting it? :rofl: it is still his fault for not standing up to it or even getting enough behind it to push it over or to the side.

Saying that he is still the best i think we can get and a very good keeper, most keepers this season seem to be making some major mistakes in games, we are just no diffrent

Clueless. And I am not talking about Gomes.

Gomes was at fault for the goal, but equally Dawson was turned to easily by Drogba and reacted slowly to the bounce of the ball which allowed him to get his shot away as well as the ref failing to see a pretty clear hand ball by Drogba in the first place.

3 errors lead to the goal, but then Defoe was offside for our goal also. The bottom line is it was a great game and a point was the fair result.

Gomes actually had an outstanding game, a penalty save along with a string of excellent saves during the course of the match yet people focus only on the 'error' he made for the goal (which to be frank at that speed could happen to anyone, and all keepers have such moments Gomes' are just dwelled upon because of his reputation from his early days at the club)

Gomes is a top class keeper....I challenge anyone to name 5 better keepers in the Premiership at the moment? He makes mistakes, but again, I challenge people to name a keeper that hasn't cost his team a goal or two this season.

I do, however, think the Drogba goal was completely his fault, the ball was hit hard, VERY HARD, but if he had stood up and not gone to ground it would have hit his chest and not gone over his head. The penalty is slightly different, in my opinion. He had to go for the ball and was just slightly late but couldn't stop and his natural movement took him into the player. Granted, it was a penalty, but these types of fouls are made on a regular basis by outfield players who don't get slated for them.

Let's stop with the silly reactions when he makes an error and get behind Gomes, afterall, as people have already said, he has won us far more points this season (and especially last) than he has lost.

He's a bit off form ATM. Deal with it, he'll come good again.

Another top quality thread Andy :wink:

Every single person on the pitch, including the referee's, make mistakes every single game. The trouble is, when a keeper makes them they can easily lead to a goal.

I actually believe it is the fact that he is pretty unorthodox that makes people think he is a liability and that people seem to prefer the "safe but unspectacular" Given's, Robinson's, Green's of this world.

All of them are equally as capable of making mistakes, few if any of them are capable of pulling off some of the saves Gomes can make.

 

[Welshiespursboyo]

The Ajax keeper has been itching for a big move for a while. Gomes will cost us any chance of glory this season. A total clown!

A total clown? I presume you were describing yourself?

 

[HertsYid]

i think there are a few points here. Gomes is an good goalkeeper, at times capable of making world class saves others wouldnt. But at the same time he also seems to make more mistakes than others aswell.

He was superb last year as managed to cut down the amount of silly errors, but this season he has let them creep back into his game and a lot of them have gone unpunished so dont get spoken about. He worries me a lot at times, but then other times when i wouldnt swap him. Frustraiting really.

However, the most important point is that we arent going to be able to get anyone better in at the moment so we just have to hope he cuts these errors out again and gets back to last years form. he won us point last season without a doubt and we need him to do that again this year.

Taking the rose tinted glasses off for a moment however, i have never heard anyone except a spurs fan say that gomes is a top class keeper.

Guus Hiddink and Tony Adams both said he is world class

I also heard Arsenal fans at the end of last season say that "if they had a top keeper like Gomes they would be challenging for the title".

 

[HertsYid]

i stand corrected then. Although that article was back in April when he was having his best season for us, wonder if they still say the same now?

they slaughtered him on Soccer Saturday at the weekend. i think it was phil thompson who said he would cost us points in a big game like chelsea. And to be hinest he was probably right.

im not on either side here. i like gomes

Barry Glendenning said he was the best keeper in the premiership!

I didn't say anything about not expecting it, he took a gamble that it was going to be struck low. No different from a goal keeper diving to his right or left when guessing for a penalty shot. The fact he has gone down too early is argubly an error (I don't personally think it is).

These things happen and don't go down as an error in my book.

 

[Spurs_Q8]

last season, he was excellent ..
but i can agree that he made stupid mistakes again .. whatever .. we can't get any better replacement .. he can improve ..
