The former Liverpool defender has included the 22-year-old centre-back in his Premier League Team of the Season so far.
Carragher, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that the performances of the England international has matched that of his Liverpool teammate and Netherlands international Virgil van Dijk.
Carragher told Sky Sports: “But the reason I went for Joe Gomez is he has not lost a game. The one game Liverpool have lost this season away to Watford in the Premier League, he didn’t actually play.
“As a young player, he was in and out of the team at the start of the season because of his injury at the end of last season, but I think his performances have matched Van Dijk at different times and Liverpool’s defensive record is so much better than anyone else’s.”
Stats
Gomez has had injury problems this season, but when the defender has played, he has done well.
The 22-year-old has made 14 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool so far this campaign, and has also played 511 minutes in the Champions League.
The youngster made 12 starts and four substitute appearances in the league for the Reds last season, and all played 525 minutes in the Champions League.
Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 82 points from 29 matches, 25 points clear of second-placed and defending champions Manchester City, who have played 28 games.
