[Adam-Utd]

I think like tuanzebe he was the unlucky short straw today. I expect some to miss out against Spurs also.

I hope he gets to start that as the CAM as it’ll be a good test against PL midfield.

 

[Rozay]

Hang on, has it been confirmed that he will start vs Spurs at all, as it seems to be mentioned quite definitively in here?

No, just people hoping.

Disappointing to see Mata and Lingard getting minutes ahead of him.

Disappointing to see Mata and Lingard getting minutes ahead of him.

He has impressed this tour so you'd assume the staff saved him to let him get more minutes against a more physical side with higher tempo. That is where they would want to assess him before the upcoming season. I think he has a real chance to take Mata's spot sooner rather than later if he manages to impress against Spurs. I'd be disappointed if he doesn't get at least 60 minutes against them.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Hopefully he features against Spurs.

Was disappointed he barely played vs Inter.

I think he was the most impressive player during the 1st two games.

Good chance he does IMO. Might be like the Tuanzebe thing where he leaves him out before giving him 60 minutes to see how he fares against bigger opposition.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Anyone else worried about his contract?

Seeing how Ole trusted Greenwood more, and giving Gomes lesser games in comparison + doesn't look like he trust him in games vs big teams or even any EPL teams, he's likely leaving next year. No, not just from this pre-season, mostly this is from last season.

Disappointing if so, he's so good, clearly natural on the ball and grabbing the little chances he's given so far, performing well.

What worries me is Gomes isn't getting singled out as much by Ole in interviews.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Worrying that he isn’t really getting any minutes in preseason. Lingard was rubbish vs Leeds yet he still started vs Inter. Those are minutes that Gomes should be getting.

Lets see if he starts vs Spurs

Turns out not. May be Ole really does not rate him...

 

[Holocene]

Must be coming on in the second half.

 

[AltiUn]

If Solskjaer didn't rate him, he wouldn't have brought him on the tour.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Manc Messi

 

[AltiUn]

The control his displayed there to keep the ball at his feet was sublime, what a player he'll be.

 

[Milo2035]

What a finish. It's a crime if we let him go.

 

[Dobba]

If he's allowed to leave, heads should roll.

 

[mewnew11]

Our own Messi. How Lingard gets ahead of him in attack is beyond me.

 

[el3mel]

Brilliant kid.

 

[Mailo]

Quiet game apart from the goal - maybe down to instructions, as I don't think he was getting too involved in play.

 

[Raven]

That was a phenomenal goal, against very good, very physical opposition. Another test passed with flying colours, he's making it very difficult for Ole not to pick him when the season starts.

 

[Ekeke]

Fantastic goal

 

[podurban2]

I think he was let down by our midfield, tbh. Put him infront of Pogba and McT and he would get a lot more space to see the ball.

 

[mav_9me]

Down to being played on the left wing.

 

[3KDré]

Quiet game apart from the goal - maybe down to instructions, as I don't think he was getting too involved in play.

I think that's down to him being on the left wing. As soon as he came centrally in parts of the game he did well. I want to see more of him, he should be getting Lingard's minutes.

 

[Alemar]

Excellent technique and a very nice finish, great goal in a very difficult half for the team (and a winner as well). Much better than Lingard

 

[AJ10]

Looked sharp even without the goal but what a goal, now hopefully he won't be off to psg or barca because he didn't start

Couldn't agree more.

 

[manunited1919]

We need to give him a new contract, don’t we?

 

[Solius]

I was messaging my Spurs supporting mate and said to him I was excited to see how Gomes does and he asked who that was. Ten mins later he does that

 

[charlenefan]

Not seen any of the games on tour so far but it seems people are raving about him every time he plays, is it hyperbole or is he genuinely impressing?

Also seen a lot of people raging when he's not being played in the games, again overreaction and if not why is he seemingly not being given the chances? I cant believe it's because of his height

 

[Kag]

He should be occupying the part of the pitch that Lingard likes to faff around in.

He’s ready for Premier League football.

 

[izec]

Should have started with the first team and show what he can do, instead of that second rate team. He is a player that is better when playing with better players on his wavelength

He is a very technically impressive player. Think Mata type but quicker. Though that don't play the same way, just to get an image

He's been very impressive and promising. Quick, composed, good touch and dribbling. He's been better than some senior players.

 

[Kostov]

Great little player. Give him more minutes. Why waste time on Mata and Lingard for feck sake.

 

[R'hllor]

They better not even think about screwing things up.

He is being given chances, but it's hard to fit in everyone and give them all equal play time. I think people are annoyed at seeing people like Lingard and Mata playing, players who we know all about, instead of Gomes who is a very talented player who just needs to be given chances now.

I'd say it's hyperbole a bit, he hasn't done anything out of this world, but it's easy to see how great his technique is on the ball and he has had a good impact in the games he's played.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Took his finish extremely well. The close control he showed in such a tight area was phenomenal. Needs more chances.
