Georginio Wijnaldum

[Frankenhooker]

as opposed to playing wijnaldum in there whos not really a midfielder? we played wijnaldum and lallana behind firmino yesterday and wijnaldum hardly had a kick. I d play origi instead of him and move firmino back one.

He is a midfielder, this has been said countless times.

hes no kevin stewart

Early days I know, but in the two games he never really looked like he has the know-how of playing CM. He struggled to get himself involved in the game. He looked decent when he had the ball, but off it, some question marks. I'd start Hendo and Can against Arsenal.

I'm not a fan of Hendo, far from it.. However he looked far better than Wijnaldum last night.

There's seems to be so much negativity towards this lad before he's even had the chance to settle in. I don't get it, why does a certain section of our fans feel the need to pigeon hole a player into being shit without giving him a fuckin chance?

 

It weird and self defeating, from what I've seem he works his balls off, keeps it simple and has a great appreciation of what's going on around him. That's what I want in any Liverpool player, give you're all for the team and if you can contribute a few goals and assists along the way then great.

 

Let's not go down this road of scapegoating players because they're not a Gerrard/Alonso hybrid, it only backfires on us every single time and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, one in which you kill the players confidence and he goes missing during games because he's shit scared of getting the ball and making a mistake.

 

I've seen it far to many times and it looks like it's starting again. It's madness and needs knockin on the head.

Fuck off JP.

[Frankenhooker]

It's what they do. If Mane didn't hit the ground running it would of been him, if Klavan looked a tad shaky he would of got it. Wijnaldum has been fine, new club, new surroundings, new way of playing and it's still preseason.

 

Personally I think he's looked quite tidy.

Me? I've never been convinced that he's the right player for us. A controlling midfielder, one who could set the the tempo like Kroos or Alonso, would've been the ideal partner for Can. I hope he'll be a big player for us.. but I'm not going to pretend that I think he's going to be great for us just because he signed for us Arl Arse.

[scudger99]

That's not the Liverpool way.  He didn't score a hat trick in the first 15 minutes of his debut so he's a cunt.  We didn't pay £50 million for him, so he's shit and a cunt.  He doesn't have an outlandish hairdo, so he's a cunt.  And he's not a left back, so he's a cunt.

His overall cuntishness makes him a complete cunt, and so's his Ma.

 

I like him.  He gave the ball away a bit yesterday but he's still finding his way.  I'm hoping he can weigh in with his share of goals as well.

[Mathewbet1]

Think we may have purchased a turd and makes swaping joe allen for him even more grinding. Have to say i was impressed with him last season, but is he a match of tge day player seems to go awol for the majority of the games, lets hope proves us wrong as theres been plenty of players have impressed in pre season and been shit once it starts proper

[moof]

Far too early to call it. He's had about 180 minutes in a red shirt.

 

For the record; I think he's gonna be ace.

[VladimirIlyich]

First game I have seen him play for us,v Barca,and thought he really struggled.

He reminds me a bit of Henderson. Plenty of energy, he looks like a willing worker, without being great defensively. We might see them two rotated throughout the season.

This is what The Guardian said about him in their review of the Championship.

 

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/aug/04/championship-2016-17-season-preview

 

The highly erratic Georginio Wijnaldum – who tended to vanish in away games last season – has, astonishingly, been sold to Liverpool for almost double the £14.5m Newcastle paid for the Dutchman a year ago and France’s Moussa Sissoko also looks set to depart but confidence in the Rafa‑lution remains sky high.

 

So, he's shit.

No just lazy journalism once again on behalf of the Guardian.

[Edward.]

I work in Newcastle and a lot of them say those exact words. Not that I'd judge him on that.

[Phoenix]

He might surprise quite a few people. The likes of Mascherano werent getting a lookin at West Ham. Might be a similar story.

[G Richards]

Is it to much to ask to wait and see?

[Gym Beglin]

I like him, and to be honest when we signed him I thought the idea was that he COULD play CM, but it wasn't necessarily going to be his normal position.

 

Hopefully Lallana gets the nod in CM and Wijnaldum plays further up, but we will see.

Flair is the first casualty of Rafalution.

Luis Garcia was nothing if not for his flair.

I love him, reminds me of Seedorf, just a rolls Royce of a player.

[ZonkoVille77]

He's fuckin shite
