“Criminally underrated”: Loads of LFC fans make the same point about midfielder

Posted by

It can’t be a coincidence that on the day Gini Wijnaldum was missing from the centre of Liverpool’s midfield, the Reds were involved in a game of chaos.

It’s become the norm so far this season that the Reds are in complete control throughout the 90 minutes, but it was a return to previous seasons and end-to-end football at times against Crystal Palace.

It was a really hard performance to assess overall, with lots of good attacking play but three goals conceded, but for many Reds fans, the fact Gini Wijnaldum was missing was telling.

The Reds got the job done without Wijnaldum in the end, but the sooner he is back, the better.

Sometimes it takes a player to be missing for a game for people to fully appreciate his role, and that appears to have been the case today.
