Why did we let Grujic go, when having 2 good years in Germany, & regarded actually good throughout the very brief pre-season?— stewart bazneh (@StorageStew) November 28, 2020
#lfc Clarify to me this. How does a 34 yr outdated Milner, Neco Williams who has been poor when his performed, and a just about invisable participant in Minamino get into our 1st 11. Its ridiculous. Henderson and Mane have been match and accessible to start out,League is hard must take it critically

I really feel for minamino, I am unsure the place he matches into this Liverpool staff. He is light-weight on the ball, would not preserve the ball properly sufficient below strain and the premier League simply doesn’t permit for the time and area he appears to wish. #LFC

What subsequent for Minamino?
Since becoming a member of the membership in January 2020 from Pink Bull Salzburg for a switch payment of £7.2m, Minamino has taken time to settle in at Anfield.
After impressing in a number of cup video games this season, many had anticipated him to play a distinguished position within the facet, with Liverpool being severely ravaged by accidents.
Minamino is a flexible attacking midfielder and has a great deal of potential. But it surely appears he’s nonetheless struggling to regulate to the tempo of the league.
With the fixtures coming thick and quick, and Klopp needing to rotate his squad, Minamino is prone to get extra recreation time. Nevertheless, he wants to enhance his stage of efficiency, in any other case, Klopp must decide about sending him on mortgage in January.
There are additionally strategies that Minamino must play commonly forward of Divock Origi. That is actually an fascinating state of affairs for him. The membership has been very affected person with him, and Klopp has showered reward on the participant now and again. However he must take his probabilities and play with extra confidence.
