Some Liverpool fans have been blown away by the improvement made by Georginio Wijnaldum, who has been absolutely on another level for us today.
The Dutchman might’ve looked like a player set to lose his place this season considering we signed two big-name midfielders in Naby Keita and Fabinho this summer.

But it hasn’t worked out like that, with Fabinho’s slow start keeping him out of the squad for the time being as Jurgen Klopp admits he still has to adjust to the team and playing in a new league.
Still, Wijnaldum is in there on merit and has really blossomed into a superb all-rounder, with playing alongside Naby perhaps rubbing off on him.
Wijnaldum looks like a totally different player with Keita alongside him…throw Fabinho in there and you’ve probably got the strongest midfield in the league. #LiverpoolFC #PremierLeague #LIVBHA

Gini Wijnaldum has been phenomenal. Keita seems to compliment him really well and has brought a new lease of life into his game. Very controlled in possession and looking to push on.

This Wijnaldum skill video shows just how confident he is right now, and fans on Twitter feel like he looks like a new player at the moment.
We’re a goal up at the break thanks to this delightful finish from Mo Salah, but it’s been a tougher game overall than we might’ve expected.
Who else thought that skill by Wijnaldum was Keita?
