Gomez feels squad depth is key to season

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has said that squad depth will be key this season.

The England international centre-back has become something of a regular in manager Jurgen Klopp’s side so far this season, despite plenty of competition in the squad for places.

And he feels that the “strong squad” at the German’s disposal will put them in good stead to last the distance this season.

“In past seasons I think it’s been a really defining period in the season for us.” he told Liverpoolfc.com

“So we know how important it is and how tough it’s going to be with the amount of games in a short period of time, but we’re ready.

“All teams in the Premier League face this same task and we’ve just got to be ready for it and try to get as many points as we can.

“There are a lot of games, especially around Christmas and New Year, with a couple of days of recovery, but I think this year we’ve got such a strong squad, so much strength in depth, and that will make it easier than in previous years.” he added.

Gomez arrived at Anfield in a deal worth around £3.5m from Charlton Athletic back in 2015.
