Georginio Wijnaldum is undoubtedly Liverpool’s most underrated player

The majority of the Liverpool fan base was ecstatic after seeing the name of Wijnaldum in the starting eleven as the man he replaced, Emre Can, has had a disappointing last few games for the Reds. Against Spurs, Wijnaldum was absolutely colossal in the midfield and showcased energy and creativity to carve out chances in the first half.

He assisted Sadio Mane for the first goal with a through ball on the half-volley which takes his tally to five assists for the season along with three goals.

He goes on about his work silently but is a crucial cog in Liverpool's wheels. Wijnaldum had an 89% passing accuracy against Spurs and will look to improve his goal tally in the coming games.
