Georginio Wijnaldum

Yeah I honestly think that against sides outside of the top 6, it is unnecessary to play Can/Lucas/ Wini. All too samey and one dimensional. We needed something different today and in so many games we've screwed up this season. The midfield isn't dynamic enough and the sheer lack of pace in our side IMO makes it so hard for us to break down and make spaces in behind compact setups.

That game today was crying out for players like Lallana and Sturridge.Huge mistake not starting or not making changes earlier.

He was anonymous today.

The midfield today wasn't ideal but if Lallana wasn't fit to start and Henderson is out injured then that midfield was our only option, we need another attack minded player like Lallana to give us the options if someone is out injured.

He was anonymous today.

I think he has been for a few weeks now

Needs taking out of the team

Lallana and Sturridge both looked incredibly rusty though

For me those changes affected nothing

The biggest actual change happened when we brought Gruijic on as he certainly gave us a little more urgency and he became a threat as I think hes decent in the air

Wijnaldum looks knackered

Wijnaldum looks knackered

So does Firmino imo

Saw this on reddit:

vs Watford: 44 touches, next lowest is Mignolet with 47; Emre 70, Lucas 72
vs Southampton 38 touches, next lowest Mignolet with 39; Emre 91, Lucas 95

That is shockingly bad. The way Lucas has been playing recently, I'd be tempted to leave him in the starting 11 and replace Gini with Lallana for the final two games.

That is terrible

Its interesting that people hammer Can at times but a lot of the criticism applied to Can can be doubly applied to Wijnaldum

I've been unsure of Wijnaldum all season. I don't think he gets as many games next season. Maybe some competition is needed for him.

Those stats above are so bad it might indicate he's carrying an injury.

Think being part of the three that is our main problem against defensive teams,

Not one of them look like they have any attacking nous between them.

Too many touches , sideways passing ,

[Red_Polo]

He's had a real slump, not been on it for a good few weeks. Looks spent. Ideal world I'd have started Lallana and Sturridge ahead of him and Origi.

Its the same for Coutinho, Lallana & Firmino

All want too many touches / time on the ball against lesser teams

For sure ,let them defend easily with the slowness of moving the ball

Going forward think we need a mobile striker and midfield playmaker against the lower teams
