If he's from Portuguese descent, his name surely isn't Gomés but just Gomes, without the é.
 
Think Jose expected him to get atleast 10 minutes, how there was only 3 minutes of injury time is beyond me.

Anyway he's got plenty of time ahead of him. Nice little taster for the guy.
 
I know it was right at the end when both our own players and the opposition were largely tired, but his movement off-the-ball to always be in position to receive the ball was fantastic. It wasn't just that people were looking to pass to him; he was almost always the best person to pass it to because he'd moved into space. It really stood out considering that our off-the-ball movement has been so bad pretty much all season. A question for anybody who watches the youth games - is that something that has stood out with him?

His passing when he did get the ball was nice as well. Most of them were just simple passes, but one of his last ones over on the right wing was a quality one-touch pass.

Yep. When I've watched him he's played a little bit deep and ran the game from midfield. He's just extremely comfortable on the ball.
 
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.. but... a certain debut came to mind.

Nice cameo, really pleased he got on and was looking for the ball at every opportunity.
 
Will be interesting to see if he plays any part on the pre season tour. Would be good to see him play in a few cup games next season.
 
Soooo delighted to see him come on. Had been chanting his name for him to be subbed on. And he didn't disappoint. Quality pass and move play from him. What a boost that will give him. Just hope he gets a growth spurt soon.
 
I found it interesting that when he came on Carrick was looking for him every single time he got on the ball. He must already be quite something in training.
I thought it was interesting that Jose was really trying for the sub also. He was keeping it until the right moment.
 
Rooney pretty much tagging out for him is a great image, and hopefully one that will be remembered for the ages for this club.

He has nice touches on him and you can kinda see why he didnt get 30 minutes. Hes not built like a TFM or even a 16 year old Rooney. But hes the usual cliche of "neat and tidy".

But the funny thing is he was born after the treble :lol: I feel like an old fecker now.
 
Looks like a very talented kid, technically, and seems to be intelligent on the pitch. Really needs to have a small growth spurt and put on some muscle though.
 
You can definitely see the similar genetics to Nani in his play.
