Can someone tell me what does this bloke do in matches, what is his role? He looks lost in all of the games I've seen him, he doesn't score goals or assist regularily. He doesn't add a bite in attack and he certainly is not adding steel in the defensive department either, in short he is a passenger. Can should definitely start ahead of him.


Back to Back World Champions baby!

I don't agree, he is a better passer and break up play than Can. Can makes too many mistakes. He had a very solid game yesterday

have to agree with this, I just don't see the point of him, I thought he was supposed to be this dynamic powerhouse midfielder like at Newcastle...

I'm not convinced by Wijnaldum at all if I'm honest and I'd be starting Can ahead of him. At the moment he just seems a steady keep the ball moving type of midfielder, very similar to Joe Allen in the same position.

He was brought in to replace Joe Allen and he is physically better than Allen in the defensive role. I had the same feeling at the beginning but I see him with Henderson the powerhouse we need in the midfield. Can makes too many mistakes when passing the ball

I think he's one of those players that you do not really notice that much, he wins the ball and gives it to the better players, which is fair enough, looking at his stats, he gets goals, roughly 1 in 4 games,which we never got with Lucas/Allen in similar roles, so I am guessing he was brought in to do their role but also have a goal threat, he does seem to get forward more than they did, he also looks more physical and mobile for Klopps style.

So far not overly impressed, but it's early days and he's missed games with injuries.

If you look at this season Can has offered a bigger goal threat and in my opinion is more powerful and mobile than Wijnaldum.
