Wijnaldum
So here we are, in a post-Gini Wijnaldum Liverpool world. The Dutchman was a wonderful servant for the Reds during five hugely successful seasons and will forever go down as a modern-day legend at Anfield. Much like Ronnie Whelan in the 1980s, he rarely made the headlines – both had a penchant for scoring big […]
Gini Wijnaldum is set to leave Anfield soon – and he will almost certainly join Barcelona in the coming season. Georginio Gregion Emile “Gini” Wijnaldum spent his last five seasons with Liverpool, playing almost 180 league games with the Reds and scoring 16 times in the process. He helped the team win its first Premier […]
Liverpool have been consistently linked with RB Leipzig’s French central defender Ibrahima Konate in recent weeks. The impressive 21-year-old would certainly help in fixing the defensive crisis that has enveloped the Reds this season. All of the Anfield club’s first-choice centre halves — Virgil van Dijk, Joe and Gomez and Joel Matip — have been […]
The win over Burnley was exactly the sort of game Thiago was signed for. He was one of the main reasons Liverpool were able to stamp their authority on the match. As a result, not only did they dominate the ball, they also dominated the space. That was the big difference. Usually, in matches against […]
Liverpool’s leading scorer from midfield this season is Gini Wijnaldum and he’s found the back of the net just twice in the Premier League. The lack of goals from those in the middle third is the primary reason so many fans want the Reds to add an attacking midfielder to their ranks this summer. Houssem […]
Unless something strange happens between now and the end of June, Georginio Wijnaldum’s five-year stint with Liverpool will come to an end. The Dutchman, who joined the club in the summer of 2016 from Newcastle United, will leave the Reds on a free transfer with FC Barcelona — coached by his former Dutch national team […]
Naby Keita joined Liverpool with much fanfare in the summer of 2018. The Reds pursued the Guinean for the entirety of the summer of 2017, but with his club Red Bull Leipzig, reluctant to sell, a compromise was reached that the English club would pay a £10M premium and sign the midfielder the following summer. […]
For a while now, it has felt as though Liverpool have been assembling what could best be described as a Swiss Army midfield. Jurgen Klopp has referenced it recently. Firstly, against Chelsea, he implied that James Milner got the nod ahead of Naby Keita for his leadership qualities and not for footballing reasons. Then, ahead […]
Without a shred of a doubt, Fabinho has been Liverpool’s best centre half this season. Considering the Brazilian only played the role once previously, keeping Robert Lewandowski scoreless in a 0-0 Champions League draw with FC Bayern in 2019, his adaptation to the heart of the defence has been remarkable. In lieu of the injured […]
There was much to admire about Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, as the Reds made a welcome return to winning ways. Adrian, Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak largely did well against a physical Blades attack, while Trent Alexander-Arnold looked somewhere close to his best again. Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago purred in midfield, the front-three […]
