Let's be honest, the whole defence was based around him and he and his abilities carried us at the back for the last two seasons. I like Gomez, but only when he plays alongside VVD. We were lucky to have two seasons of an injury free VVD.
The whole team was based around playing from the back and pressing very high up the pitch. Now he's gone, we've had to relearn how to play the game to some degree and make big adjustments. On top of all this, we've had no decent CB to replace him. I know its all frustrating at the moment, but, was the league a realistic expectation without VVD from so early on and no decent replacements? I don't think so.
