Gini Wijnaldum.
From a confused winger at Newcastle to one of the best controlling midfielders in the world.
The significance he had on Fabinho, Liverpool’s midfield and his crucial role in 4-3-3.
Jürgen Klopp’s pursuit for his legs should crop up now or never.

Mo never ignores a run-in-behind into the 6-yard box. Clinical directness. We might be fine but we will surely miss this when he’s away. I’m not sure if Harvey, Dom, Cody or Jota on the right can do it.
This is brutal and it’s key to Klopp’s football.

Fabio Carvalho can be our Muisala, Wirtz or even the answer to Diaz questions. He has everything to be a starter under Klopp, only thing letting him down is his character.
I’d even suggest not to re-loan him. I can see him as an inside forward/LW on paper and compete with Diaz.

Midfield pairing that complement each other don’t come often but when they do, they take the team to a whole new level.
Iniesta+Xavi, Viera+Petit/Silva, Alonso+Gerrard, Gullit+Rijkaard, Scholes+Keane etc.
Here’s why i think we’ve found one.

While both(Coach/Manager) focus on results, growth and development is what a manager lacks.
Arteta wants to shape a culture, build a young team and asks for a supportive atmosphere but can’t nurture individual growth. Impossible.
Mikel forgot to take notes from Klopp after Pep.

Harvey Elliot is a true definition of Flexibility and Adaptability. Very comfortable in any phase of the pitch no matter the game state. Doesn’t ask himself “Why am i here?” or “Am I supposed to be here?”. Puts himself in a situation where the ball looks for him.
He’s the one.

THE ARDA GULER HYPE IS REAL 🔥🇹🇷
Another night and I’m impressed. He didn’t start but he surely took over the show for the final 30 minutes.
Playing as a free role at just 18y/o is really surprising.
Just £18M fee. Give this kid JÜRGEN KLOPP.
Took my time and paid close attention to 72 minutes of Arda Guler tonight for Turkey 🇹🇷.
If Liverpool or any other Club’s scouts were watching him tonight, they’ll be triggering the £18M fee tomorrow.
•Played as a free role and he was unstoppable.
Extreme Talent.

I can’t even count the amount of times Henderson received the ball in that space and thought 10x on what to do or waited for an overlap.

but fits none like it did for Wijnaldum.
Naby Keïta came in for £52M to play the same role but wasn’t able to displace Gini. Wijnaldum was the primary reason Liverpool’s unit was compact as he stayed central to do multitude work.

To the naked eye, it looked like Fabinho is a horrible DM because players are running around him easily, when in reality that couldn’t be further from the truth. He is tasked with defending too much space. However, when Wijnaldum played, these holes did not appear in the midfield

Liverpool’s midfield is notorious for its work ethic and athleticism. They’re often criticised individually for their lack of creativity, when in reality their role is a selfless contribution to the overall team. This description was applied to all of Liverpool’s midfielders.

Allow me to say this but if by any way Jürgen Klopp sat down and decided to completely ditch his famous 4-3-3 is because he missed the legs of Gini.
His role and record in this set up was insanely underrated.

No hesitation from the journalists, straight away asked Klopp about Alonso’s decision.
"I can speak about a young manager being at a club where he's doing really well. I did pretty much the same, and never regretted it. I can understand."

Gegenpressing is all about setting traps.
Jürgen Klopp faced Villa’s build up with a 4-2-4 press and it was mostly successful because Salah, Darwin, Curtis/Szobo and Diaz were actively positioned forcing Villa to make sloppy passes.

Is it possible for a winger to be at his best while he is expected to play as an inverted winger, orthodox winger and dutch brand winger all at once?
Does his current role, the dutch-brand wing play/target man support, suit him?

Gravenberch and Wataru is the latest definition of experience beats talent. Sometimes it’s better to gain a treasure trove of knowledge overtime than the natural aptitude of a player.
Both never had the pre-season with us and Endo quickly settled with the intensity unlike Grav.

THIS IS A STATEMENT SIGNING.
Of course £35M for Alexis Mac Allister was a bargain but letting 4 of our first team players leave for FREE and triggering €70M r/c for Szoboszlai really is a revelation of how much Jürgen Klopp pushed his bosses hard.

The biggest and most important change from last year's pre-season is the training camps, now it’s in Donaueschingen, Germany, a town Jürgen chose.
It will be an intense week of conditioning in secluded surroundings, as opposed to last summer's trip to Singapore.

Mac Allister’s role has become a bit hotter to analyze.
Too slow to be an 8/10 but too clever draw/entice fouls or press aggressively.
Then too magnetic to a card in 6 but too clever to orchestrate an attack from deep or link the midfield to attack.
A double-edged sword.

it’s then the way Jürgen wants to put things scientifically.
Long hours, two sessions a day, full concentration with peace, quiet and good vibes while the boys build their chemistry.
NOT MUCH DISTRACTION.

His sole focus was to attract a press to create space further up the pitch before either dribbling past his man, finding a player in space, or passing to somebody with a better angle.
Very few, if any, midfielders in football world can keep the ball like Wijnaldum can.
WOW!

I really liked Gabri Veiga but I understand it all comes down to versatility and who solves more/what.
Dominik Szoboszlai seems to be bringing more to the table than Veiga i.e Dribbling, Operating from both wings and Worldliness/Know-how.
A huge weekend ahead.

Elliot is a very calm and collected player, contributes a lot more to the overall team than Szobo/Grav.
He isn’t more direct, waits for a perfect pass and hates to lose possession. The kind of the player who can naturally out-turn a game.
