Georginio Wijnaldum

[SB]

Indeed he did. Cue the song “ Can we play you every week “

In fairness we are playing better teams than Estonia.

No debate there, my point was that no matter the opposition, he gets into the right positions for us nearly every match, but whereas for the Dutch he seems quite at ease putting these chances away, for us he seems to snatch at them, even when he has time. If he could maintain his cool head for us, he'd be 10+ goals a season better off.

He did quite well against a **** barcalona side though

Gini gets in goal scoring positions every game for us, but his composure/luck in front of goal seems to be lacking, yet on the international stage he puts them away with ease. With a little upturn in fortunes, he'll slot away the chances he's been missing for us and become a genuine goal-scoring midfielder for us as well as Holland.

Gini has been tearing it up at international level, we need to be taking advantage of his attacking ability. He scored goals at PSV and Newcastle & more goals from midfield are needed. Against lesser sides imo should be let off the leash.

Can’t argue with that

Hat trick tonight

I see your point but Milner is surely in his last season at the club so if he wants someone to fill that role in the medium term then I'd say Wijnaldum is probably that player.

Ouch, that hasn't aged well.

I'm quite thankful I don't watch a lot of football outside of us, so when we are linked with a player I never have enough info to have an opinion one way or the other about how good/bad they might be

That sums me up in a nutshell too. I don’t mind watching the highlights of other teams matches but not the whole match.

I remember being nonplussed and confused by his signing - just read the first few pages of this thread and a good few us made tits of ourselves

Ha, it's the usual suspects time and again.

He's one of the most complete players out there. He played wing at Feyenoord, 8 at PSV, 10 or as a wide forward at Newcastle. In a liverpool shirt he has played all of those plus 6 before Fabinho came, false 9 at Barca and even that one game against Brighton as a makeshift centre back.

If you didn't know what type of player he was it's likely only because he's so versatile.

the only weaker part of his game is finishing but if his role allows, he scores goals. Has been banging them in for the Netherlands recently.

[Red_Polo]

I remember saying about him in the early days was that I didn't really know what type of player he was and what his role in the side should be.

Same. When we signed him I thought he'd be playing further forward and was there to add goals more than anything. Was really surprised how he performed playing deeper.
