Defender Joe Gomez could become one of Liverpool's biggest stars, according to reports

Although the Liverpool team looks like one of the strongest institutions in the Premier League this season, this group led by Jürgen Klopp has presented over the weeks a number of complications with players who are not at their best footballing level as well as others who have suffered from injury problems, finding the German tactician on this task of coping with the casualties to a couple of good substitutes on the bench that have made him reconsider who should be every weekend his men who take the field.

While in midfield the big surprise was Wataru Endo, in the defensive sector the situation is more complicated as Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez have been in close competition for the coach's constant consideration, with each defender standing out in his own way, but it is undoubtedly Gomez who has attracted the most attention not only for his good time on the pitch but for his great versatility that has earned him a nickname that in turn refers to one of the last legends of the club.

Based on his versatility in playing as a central defender or on the flanks, Joe Gomez has earned the nickname Mr Versatility, with his multi-positional approach earning him the nickname, and in turn, he has earned hundreds of comparisons to former midfield player James Milner, with many remembering the veteran as a player who could do whatever job was needed in the team, just as Joe does today in defence.

Gomez's workrate has been so great that even former Reds player Steven McManaman has said that Joe is a man who likes to go about his business in the right way, being an exceptional professional who has played at right-back, left-back and centre-back, and in his view is a superstar that Klopp has in his team.

Gomez could finally dispel all the doubts around him

This player is finally having a solid campaign full of great performances that have generated hundreds of applauses from the fans that not long ago criticised his style and way of playing every time he came on as a substitute or every time he started, and it should be noted that Gomez during the last season had very specific mistakes that hurt the team, earning the distrust and anger of a whole public that now supports him as one of their favourites in defence.
