Can someone please explain to me how this guy continues to get games for Liverpool? He contributes precisely nothing every game, especially away from home. I have never witnessed a more pedestrian and invisible midfielder. Every touch is backwards, every pass is sideways or backwards, he doesn't protect the back 4, he doesn't influence the attack, he just stands around coasting whilst the game passes him by.

There was a reason he played every game in a Newcastle team that got relegated, and somehow that earned him a move to Liverpool!

He may have a catchy song but for me that's his only contribution in a Liverpool shirt since joining.

He's a dynamic, good all-round midfielder but he's not good enough on the ball for a team like Liverpool.

I don't think he's got the quality to take risks on the ball.

If you think he's dynamic I suggest you look up the word dynamic in the dictionary. Because dynamic is something Wijnaldum clearly isn't!

No he is more static than dynamic!

OK, he's got great mobility but he doesn't have the subtlety or the technical qualities of a creative midfielder. But in fairness to him, we've got lots of creative players who had little impact tonight.

Didn't even realise this thread existed.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Our other players influence plenty of games. Wijnaldum continues to offer nothing and get games, why can't he step up when needed? Has he ever stepped up? Maybe Middlesbrough at home last season but that's it! Oxlade-Chamberlain is already outshining him and he's played substantially less games.

I'm not disagreeing with you. He's doesn't have much impact on the ball. He's slow on the ball and, as you say, chooses the negative sideways/backwards pass.

But I think there is a role for him in the squad as a rotation player.
