2) It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you’re ready
Joe Gomez had a couple of nervy moments today. There was one particularly rushed pass that he managed to send rolling back across his own penalty area and we were lucky that his error wasn’t pounced upon. However, for the most part, he did well. Considering this kid is just 18 and was making his Premier League debut today, it was truly an outstanding effort, and one that puts Alberto Moreno to shame – he’s had a year to adjust and still makes mistakes like that.
The Britannia Stadium can’t be a nice place to go first up and he dealt with it in a thoroughly professional manner. We’d be more than happy to see him keep his place against Bournemouth next time out.
