Bigger attacking threat
We’ve been desperate to see Emre Can become the midfielder that bombs forward and grabs goals but he just hasn’t been that.
Wijnaldum, meanwhile, breaks forward and causes chances to occur – as demonstrated by his fine pass for Sadio Mane’s first at the weekend. He can score goals, too, and arrives in the box well which is what we want to see in the coming months as we chase the Champions League spots.
