Why Wijnaldum warrants a new Liverpool contract

Has Shaqiri been a success at Liverpool?
Jurgen Klopp has made a few signings that have come out of left field during his time as Liverpool manager.
Gini Wijnaldum is certainly one that stands out in that respect, seemingly appearing to be a needless addition, not to mention one who wasn't expected to be used as an understated midfielder.

Why hasn't Divock Origi kicked on from Madrid - and is Klopp to blame?
Not only did Divock Origi's goal in the Champions League final reaffirm Liverpool's status as European royalty it also provided the impetus for this season's title bid. However, one person the goal seems to have had the least impact on is the man who actually provided that moment of magic in Madrid. There's no doubting Origi will be remembered extremely fondly by Reds' fans having scored a countless number of important goals, but, you can't help but feel he hasn't …
Liverpool Could See Ideal Player In Blind
As football has hit the corona-virus induced pause button, the whirling world of transfer rumours shows no sign of slowing down.
And despite the Bundesliga CEO, Christian Seifert, warning that the summer transfer window could collapse with the financial perils of the sports hiatus financially hamstringing clubs capabilities to spend big in the market, the likes of Liverpool -- who announced record profits, £42M, for the last financial year -- still have the means to land their targets.

Jurgen Klopp's substitution pattern

The transformation of the club under the German is nothing short of incredible and has gotten him a demigod status for the Reds' faithful.
