There’s a sense in the air—an instinct, a quiet confidence—that this will be the season Joe Gomez finally gets his name on the scoresheet. For a player who has been a pillar of defensive reliability for both Liverpool and England, it’s almost hard to believe he’s yet to score a single career goal. But that only adds to the growing excitement.
Gomez has consistently delivered at the back with his pace, intelligence, and composure, often sacrificing personal glory for the team’s structure. Yet under Arne Slot’s evolving tactical approach, we’re seeing more adventurous roles from defenders. Gomez has already shown an increased presence going forward—taking more risks, overlapping more, and even occasionally finding himself in goal-threatening positions. The signs are there.
Whether it comes from a towering header off a corner, a rebound tucked away in the chaos, or even a stunning long-range effort—football has a way of rewarding patience. And Gomez, having been so dependable and disciplined for years, is due a moment of magic. His first goal won’t just be a statistic—it’ll be a moment of pure emotion, celebrated not just by the fans, but by teammates who know how long he’s waited.
Mark it down now: this is the season Joe Gomez finds the back of the net. And when he does, it’ll be one of the feel-good moments of the campaign.
