Georginio Wijnaldum

[Shaggy]

In the Chelsea presser just now Klopp said "our most consistent performer this season has been Gini Wijnaldum", then knocked on the desk (touch wood) saying "long may that continue"...

Had that for Leicester as well. We were decent for a hour in that one and then urgh

They've had a week to rest and recover more, makes a world of difference.

Much better yesterday, which begs the question as to why he's been so passive in recent weeks. Hopefully this is the start of a good run of form because when he's at it, he's very good.

He's been told. No other explanation. Most times he got the ball he looked forward and made a dribble instead of sticking his arse out, taking 15 touches before passing to Nat. Sheff Utd were not expecting dribbles from Gini and Firmino and it showed in the confused looks of the defenders.

I'm sure he is, ie a massive salary with us. I do not think there are many transfers where the primary driver isn't money when it comes to moving from one big club to another.

That would be amazing, always fit and usually so consistent. Just this Barca move seems to have messed with his head.

If ever there was a time to avoid joining Barca though, this is probably it. Klopp gives him 100% trust, and he starts every game. I just hope his agent and the club can find a solution...

I saw some spurious online story yesterday saying that he might be looking for a resolution with us?

Superb last night, bundles of energy, carried the ball well and lots of drive and purpose in his play which has been lacking for awhile. When he's on it he's different class, hoping he carries this on to the next games would be huge for us.

[Buzzo]

Saying all the right things.

But actions will speak louder than words. He’s one of our longest serving players. A few of them need to come together and sort this out. There is zero leadership. There is with Hendo - but if he is out also we really are in the ****.

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum tells Sky Sports: "You know what the derby means for the club, the supporters, the players - it means a lot and the loss is extra painful.

"The first goal we conceded, we tried to keep possession when the long ball came instead of clearing it away. In the first couple of minutes you should take less risk, a pass through the defence and they scored. One more chance after that and we were the better team.

"Losing players during the season upset us a lot. We cannot play the victims, we have to deal with the situation and not feel sorry for ourselves. We have to give until the end of the season, it is painful and you could see if on the faces of the players. That is the situation we are in right now and we have to deal with it.

"Winning games in the Premier League is always difficult and the injuries don't make it easier, we still have a squad who can change it around and we have to work harder to change it around."

[Buzzo]

Who knows, but the evidence on the pitch suggests he's not that bothered.

I absolutely hate seeing players go through the motions.

Sending Minamino out on loan looks mental now also.

How bothered is Gini about all of this? He’s leaving. I don’t like relying so heavily on a player who has his eyes on a move away.

Lots of things changed since the turn of the year, but having one of our ever present players all but announce he is leaving isn’t good.
