COMMENTARY
Liverpool achieved a 1-0 win over Napoli on Tuesday and several fans took to Twitter to share that they were blown away by the performance of midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum. Several Reds supporters tweeted how impressed they were with 28-year-old with one claiming that the player looked riled up and that was allowing him to defy expectations, while another simply believed he had stepped up as he knew it was an important clash. Generally this season Wijnaldum has played above what people expect of him as he has managed to establish himself as vital cog in the machine as he was able to regularly win the midfield battle for his side as well as dictate the tempo of the game. Given that those duties don’t normally see the spotlight thrust upon a player, it seems the 28-year-old stood-out more against Napoli as he was given more of an attacking role. As one fan described he looked more like the player he is when featuring for the Netherlands as it was like he was given license to push forward.
