Georginio Wijnaldum

[stringvest]

Fucking hell, when Hades catches up with you for that one it'll feel like you got off lightly from Johnny Cougar.

 

 

Johnny Cougar's a pussycat.  Hades might put some sort of vegan humanist wiccan spell on me.  If I go bald all of a sudden I know he's got me.  

[KevieG]

He was actively hiding today in that second half. Disgraceful

[El Rojo]

Not exactly a leader of men. He fits right in.

 

Another lad who'd probably kick the ball out of play if an opposition player went down with cramp when we need a goal in the dying moments of our last match of the season.

Goes missing in about 40% of our games, I find his regular anonymity to be staggering.

 

If you can't appreciate what wijnaldum adds to the side then you don't understand football. Sorry. 

[ZonkoVille77]

He added fuck all today. That's for sure. Wasn't the worst player though. Can slowed everything down. He needs 1654788986544 touches before he passes it.

[3 Stacks]

Out of our outfield players, only Origi had fewer touches than him today. This is kind of a trend as well, most of the time he's the player who's the least involved on the pitch. When he isn't scoring a goal once every two months he does basically nothing going forward and he's not very active defensively either. He's basically a warm body in the center of the pitch who does a decent job of keeping the ball moving if it happens to find him.

 

Unless that's what he's been told to do - and I doubt Klopp tells him to be as passive as possible - he's been a waste of a signing thus far. 

[J-V]

Offers fuck all we didn't already know in his time with Newcastle. £25 fucking million....

When it comes to moving the ball sideways with no imagination, no penetration, no desperation to score, Gini is a culpable as any. But he does have some flair about him. In the current squad he’d be one of the first players on my team sheet. Apart from Cou he’s our best midfielder IMO. In a better team where he’s finding his place he could well be a very good player for us. Definitely someone to keep in the summer.

 

Can’t get my head around the praise people seem to have towards Emre Can. He’s got a good attitude on the pitch, but his decision making is awful, his techninque is limited to say the least. When he didn’t follow Benteke’s run into the box for their 2^nd yesterday it proves a lack of understanding and vision I don’t want to see in our team. A player like Milner would’ve stayed with him all the way. You simply have to see the danger coming when you let him go. Terrible! Almost as terrible as Lovren last night!

Unfortunately all of our players have huge flaws to one degree or another. Can has all of what you described above but has got a set of balls on him so it can sometimes cover up those limitations. Winjaldum seems like he has talent but never wants to take any responsibility.

Maybe we could dismantle Can into spear parts and have his balls installed in Gini?

[stringvest]

another emperor's new clothes player. 

[Aventus]

We play better with him on the pitch than Can. That's as far as my assessment goes.

Disagree. Both have their qualities and are not in direct competition. Wijnaldum is the athletic bits and pieces player,the small cog in the wheel that nobody notices and helps others function around him. I see him as our modern water carrier rather than the main man.

[ZonkoVille77]

He's fuckin shite.

[bizzle10]

He's fuckin shite.

is the correct answer and he is brainless get rid

[moof]

Quality player. He gets stronger as games go on. Physical specimen. 2 assists today.

 

Brilliant first season, can't wait to see how good he is next year.

Such a contrast from last week.  Hope he pushes on next year

[Jennings]

...although one of the assists was a badly skewed shot into a gaping net from 8 yards.

[3 Stacks]

Disappears when he's given big responsibilities and creative freedom but when he's among quality footballers like he was today, he's a nice asset. He'll be a good depth guy next season.   

[lifetime fan]

He's been very inconsistent but we've never been bullied in midfield the way we were with Allen.

 

We've been out played and out thought at times but never bullied.

 

I like him though and think there's lots more to come.

 

First season ranking 7/10 - room for improvement.

[Funkasy]

Utter shit, to be so invisible in a liverpool midfield that probably has 60+% possession most matches of the season, he did it for the first 15 games of the season to totally invisible, and then there are all the huge chances he has fluffed when he finally does do something.

[G Richards]

I think Vlad was spot on earlier. He's a modern day water carrier, but not the star. This is not to damn him with faint praise. He has a lot of athleticism, more strength than meets the eye, good technique and stamina to keep going all day. He usually gives it simple and is available for a pass. I think he can weigh in with a few more goals, and that will probably come, but for me he's well worth his place in the squad, and he has done well enough this year, with room for improvement.
