Georginio Wijnaldum

I've been kind to him this season because he's generally been strong on the ball and linked defence and midfield in a simple yet effective way, especially earlier in the season. I suppose for that reason he doesn't stand out because his game is not showy. However, as one of the most experienced players on the pitch for us against Wolves, he needed to show some authority and urgency, but it wasn't there at all. Everything was just safe and ineffectual. When you keep doing that, your teammates have to adjust so they can receive the ball, and that adjustment comes from dropping back. Then we end up with even fewer options for the forward pass. Ovie Ejaria had at least looked to try and make an impact but as the game wore on, his teammates helped to drag him down into their general mediocrity, and Wijnaldum was one of the main culprits.

He's a very strange player..... like a chameleon. Put him around quality players and he becomes quality. Put him around shite and he conforms to shite.

 

One thing is for certain, he's the Antimatter Gerrard. He's the last person you'd ever expect to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and pull us across the line.

Just like Henderson and Can, none of them have the gumption to impose themselves on a game.

Good overview. Decent footballer but even less of a leader of men than most of the rest of the squad. I'd have him in ahead of Can any time, though.

He led men pretty well at PSV. He's been here 5 minutes, lads. He's a class player, he's in shit form, like literally everyone else in our squad, he needs to take charge a bit more, but will definitely come good.

 

It's not the best time to be making this argument, but he's a quality player.

Sorry moof, but ive seen nothing to suggest hes a quality player for us. I think hes another 'emperor's new clothes' player, and god knows we've got enough of them.

Been here 5 minutes - no, he's been for half a season and played nearly every game.

 

He's a class player - no, he really isn't. There is no evidence to suggest this.

 

He's in shit form - he's been in shit form since he arrived? That's a long dip in form.

 

Will definitely come good - lol this is getting increasingly hilarious. Based on what?

 

He's a quality player - NO, he really isn't, he is fucking bang average!
