NO doubt about this week’s outstanding pearl of wisdom from the world of punditry. After Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Sevilla, BT Sport analyst Michael Owen had this to say about Joe Gomez, who had played at full-back for the Reds. “I’m not sure he is tall enough to be a centre-back.” Which would have been fine… if it wasn’t for the fact that Gomez is 6ft 2in.
That’s taller than John Terry, Paolo Maldini or Sergio Ramos.
