I watched the game, fella - you're the one judging him from highlights. Couldn't really give a shit what the radio commentators said - there are plenty of people still aboard the 'Gomes is a clown' bandwagon.
They can stay on it, I don't care. The bloke's a class act. For a first game back he was bloody good - apart from his kicking, which I think we're all agreed was pish.
As I said before - and I'm ready to be corrected - I can only remember one punch and it was entirely the correct option and perfectly done. Some people think that keepers should try and catch everything.
Yeah, he dropped one cross but gathered it at the second attempt. You are right about one thing, though. He commanded his box and made a number of decent saves, so it was "Gomes all over" and "his usual game" :up:
Rep coming your way sir. I was at the game, and I agree with everything you have said in the thread so far.
Commentators are happy to jump on the bandwagon as you say, and I thought for a first game back he was excellent. i would be more than happy for him to start on saturday and I think he will.
