Despite win over West Ham, Liverpool player who had disastrous game

Jürgen Klopp's side had perhaps their third most complete game of the season against West Ham United, as players such as Darwin Núñez, Alisson Becker and Jordan Henderson found a good level that led them on the road to victory once again, although there were some stumbles on that same path that must be avoided if they do not want to fall back into that negative slump that they have already begun to leave behind.

The actions during the first half were not orchestrated by any other team than Liverpool, with the whole of the home attack trying to extend the lead so as not to jeopardise the minimal advantage they had gained early on the scoreboard through Darwin Núñez's header.  Although it was the failings in the final third of the pitch that were the negative point of the first 45 minutes, the only dangerous move set up by the opposition saw the spotlight switch to the defence who completely jeopardised the lead with a penalty.

Joe Gomez's attempt to burst a ball that was inside his area trying to be controlled by the West Ham United attackers led to a foul for the use of excessive force, leading to a VAR review of the play before the penalty was awarded. The English player had put his team's positive scoreline at risk, and the goalkeeper saved the blunder with a save.

Although one might think that the mistake made by the defender was the result of a distraction against an opponent with little attack in almost 45 minutes of play, the reality is that Joe Gomez has been delivering exhibitions with a very low level in his last few starts, being harshly questioned by Jurgen Klopp on why he should put this player on the pitch and more as a starter.

Joe Gomez's near-miss almost cost Liverpool a draw

For many fans of the institution, who have been demonstrating match after match on social networks, have pointed to the Reds defender as one of the most inefficient and with the lowest level that they have in the squad, being now the Englishman in the eye of the hurricane every time he touches the ball or has to make use of his defensive skills, being almost forgotten those excessive criticisms that were made until a few weeks ago where he was not effective in the face would contribute.
