Liverpool had to settle for a frustrating 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.
Harvey Elliott and Luis Diaz were the best performers on the pitch and received a fair share of appreciation from the fans.
There was a player whose confident display went massively under-appreciated. It's Joe Gomez.
The Englishman was not fit to start so Nat Phillips was named in the starting XI. Gomez replaced Nat in the 63rd minute and put in a solid performance.
Here's what Liverpool fans on the Red And White Kop forum say about Joe.
Tubby: "Difference between him and Phillips was night and day."
y2w902:" It's a big opportunity for him to make himself the number 2 again, looked really classy and sharp when he came on."
Duvva: "Great to see him back alongside Virgil. He’s such a quick and classy player"
Cdav: "Great to see him back: his passing through the lines is such a good weapon for us"
Yorkykopite: "I hope he gets a run of games now. It's not just his pace and defensive prowess that Liverpool need but his ability to break lines going forward."
Sharado: "Yeah really, really good last night. I don't know quite what it is because Matip and Ibou are great but there's just something incredibly calming about Gomez and Virg at CB.
"I think part of it may be that Gomez can play/cover Trent at RB so when Trent is marauding forward Joe knows more about the position he needs to cover maybe?"
M4tt: "Classy af when he came on, and no offence to Nat but you can see the gulf in class at what it takes at this level. Phillips is a good defender, but Gomez is absolutely top drawer. Really hope he features more going forward now."
Lynndenberries: "He was immense when he came on. Had Zaha in his pocket and his passing to the forwards was great. Always forget he has that in his locker."
