It’s fair to say Liverpool fans were suitably impressed by Jorginho last night.
The Brazilian born Italy international dictated his side’s play from deep as the visitors to Wembley stole a 1-1 draw against Gareth Southgate’s quite impressive England.

Jorginho is not a traditional defensive midfielder in that he doesn’t run his socks off or put in lots of tackles, but he’s terrific with the ball at his feet.
On a few occasions, he played long balls to onrushing forwards which got Liverpool fans salivating.
If he can do that now, imagine the possibilities with Sadio Mane and Mo Salah cutting in on off their wings and getting in behind!
He’d also complement Naby Keita, whose transfer from Rb Leipzig is already finalised.
When Jordan Henderson is fit and in form, he’s a strong option for the no.6, but our skipper picks up consistent injuries and is known to have an off-day, too.
Jurgen Klopp rates him and so he should, but elite competition for the spot from Jorginho could benefit us hugely.
We hope a proper bid is made at the earliest possible opportunity.
