Georginio Wijnaldum

[Unrighteous]

It's kinda crazy that we've, finally, actually have a lot of decent players that are getting pushed onto the bench in a "best XI" talk, and some actual confusion on who is in our best XI and such. 

 

It hasn't really seemed like that ever... We've recently been a side who had a solid first XI, and nothing behind it.

It's confusing as it's hard to pick between how many average midfielders we should start in the first eleven

[Paco]

so many attacking players but so little space for them all to play in.

 

whatever formation klopp decides to play whether its 4231 or 433 every single player we have from midfield on wants to get forward.

 

2 of can henderson milner grujic all want to get forward and will crowd the space of 3 of coutinho firmino mane wijnaldum and lallana ahead of them.

 

interesting to see what the plan is once the games start.

[Captain]

A midfielder that scores goals? Yes, please.

 

Fingers crossed he's good enough to carry the weight of the shirt.

Repped for use of the word salient.

 

Thanks. I did consider using pertinent instead but felt that was unnecessarily salacious.

Wijnaldum’s versatility was one of the reasons why Klopp was so keen to secure his services.

 

In the manager’s favoured 4-2-3-1 formation, the Reds boss says the Dutchman would be equally influential as one of the three attackers behind the frontman or as one of his two more defensively minded midfielders.

 

“For sure he can play in one of those advanced roles or deeper in a two,” Klopp added.

 

“He can also play either side in a 4-3-3. He can play in five or six different positions. That’s one of the things I really like about him.

 

“In whatever position he has ever played, he has always been a threat to the goal. That’s what he brings. He never forgets direction. He passes and then he goes.

 

“He pushes up after he has passed the ball and makes himself an option just a second later. He’s a complete footballer who is nice to have.”

I'm a bit underwhelmed his signing, but I gotta give it to him.. He's a handsome fellow.

Here's him playing CM for the Netherlands. He seems to only play at one pace.

Maybe the word "Friendly" in the clip title is relevant to that. I'll go with Klopp's assessment I think.

That would've applied if by one pace I meant slow... It's the other way around. I don't think he's capable of controlling the game at all from midfield. Granted, I've only seen him play various AM positions for Newcastle... Surely he wasnt bought to play there?

Yep, klopp is building a machine, not all the cogs will necessarily be shiny.

Klopp has specifically said today he can play in a central two or further forward. That's just Klopp's opinion of course, it might not turn out that way - it will do for me.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

 

Am I the only one who thinks he looks a bit like an Xbox Live avatar?

[dennis tooth]

Ace signing. Would be been top priority target of it have been off manager.

I don't think he can play in a central two. Him and Can would be like headless chooks in the middle. We need like a Hamann or a Xabi.

The fuck?

You may not think so, but Klopp was quoted saying that he does...  Oddly enough, he seems to have some knowledge on the subject of football.

[Curly]

Looks like he has a mistake in him.

He looks like a cunt.

In that video he looks somewhere between Seedorf and Mikitaryan. I noticed some good skills.

 

It will be interesting to follow his progress under a manager like Klopp.

[dennis tooth]

The fuck?

Top player wateva they say

[dennis tooth]

He won't play cm much at all.

That's not very good for discussions is it? Klopp has made and will make mistakes, and we're here to discuss them amongst other things.

[dennis tooth]

Disappointed we didn't get him before he went Newcastle.

1 in 3 from midfield in a relegated team and one of the few to actually put up a fight, good price, klopp knows thankfully

He looks like he should be a 1960s soul singer, the impossibly handsome cunt.

I don't think anyone said you couldn't express your view, it's just that klopps counter view is being used in argument for the other position
