Did very well against Brentford but let’s be honest, Brentford were complete and utter fecal matter. They rolled over and let us tickle their belly. So he had all the time and space in the world.
Credit to Newcastle they showed up ready to take it to us, they constantly were in Gomes face and he couldn’t handle it.
And the idea that he might once in awhile give like for like by, say, shoulder-barging Shelvey or Joelinton off the ball, is just laughable.
No reason why he should ever start ahead of VdB, or in the same side.
