Liverpool started off on a great note when they scored four goals against Arsenal within 18 minutes.

They defeated the Gunners 4-3, even though the score-line doesn’t reflect the true happenings in the game. They conceded two cheap avoidable goals but endeared fans with their sterling attack. However, new signing Georginio Wijnaldum didn’t impress fans as much.

Wijnaldum was named in the starting XI but the Dutchman didn’t do as much on his debut. Reds players Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane were the creative forces during the game, eclipsing other players. Wijnaldum didn’t show the dominant display that was expected from the former Newcastle United ma. He was signed following the relegation of Newcastle to the English Championship. A section of fans and supporters thought the transfer fee high following his inconsistency in the last campaign. He joined for £25 million, and many thought Jurgen Klopp could have negotiated the player a little less considering he was enthused with the chance to return to top flight football.

Wijnaldum was the highest goal scorer for United last season, netting 11 times but the goals were not enough to save the struggling side. He played 88 minutes in his debut, scoring just one goal but in the wrong net. Wijnaldum deflected a goal to his own net, upsetting fans that already wanted more from him. Before the deal, some fans and analysts were weary despite his record in the Dutch Eredivisie. A popular parlance in the attack of his transfer was “for every Luis Suarez that scored in Holland, there was a Ryan Babel.” Ryan Babel is a former Liverpool signing that went wrong despite his decent run in Holland while Suarez turned to be a prolific striker at Anfield, partnering well with Daniel Sturridge and making huge return with his transfer from the club. there is still time but Wijnaldum would need to show his potential quick.
