Gomez prefers to play as a centre-back but can also play as a full-back on either side. He has been described as a complete footballer and composed ball-playing centre-back with his style of play, being compared to that of Rio Ferdinand whom he idolised growing up. Gomez is also noted for his athleticism, pace and strength; he is able to produce powerful and dangerous runs up-field on the counter-attack and in defence is rarely physically dominated by an opponent.
