He’s scored 10 goals and only started nine games. He’s a big reason why we have two more domestic cups on the Champions Wall. Whatsmore, when he was brought in from the cold against Southampton in a must win league game, he delivered for us again with the opening goal.
He’s a terrific little footballer who took advantage of the limited chances that were given to him and he probably deserved to play more. I understand why he didn't, as he's got world class players ahead of him, but Minamino is good enough to have been a Liverpool regular. Just not in this era.
Other than Origi, he might just be the most clinical forward we had. He rarely misses, although one that he did miss actually resulted in one of the most satisfying things to happen this season. What was that, I hear you ask?
Remember when he missed that chance late on against Arsenal in the League Cup semi final 1st leg and Ben White laughed in his face? How’d that work out for Ben White? Not well. Jota ran him ragged in the second leg and Arsenal then choked away a top four spot.
Who’s laughing now Ben White? Taki with his medals round his neck, that’s who.
Previous Season Ratings:
N/A
This Season’s Rating: 8/10
It’s crazy that I’m giving him the same grade as Jota, but what more could Taki have done in the relatively limited opportunities he’s had?
Best Moment:
He made a lot of valuable contributions in the cups but the moment that really stands out for me is Southampton away, because of the high stakes involved and because Klopp had been forced to make so many changes. To come in and do what he did after playing so little football for months was commendable.
Worst Moment:
The miss against Arsenal.
The Future?
Enjoy Monte Carlo Taki lad, and thanks.
