2020/24 Takumi Minamino @ Liverpool F.C. (ENG)

It seems Minamino lost his only chance to impress Klopp with his fail against Everton.

Lallana always in instead of him and actually he's doing not so good.

Ok Origi and Fabinho in, bye bye Minamino.

 

Hyperbole, much?
Give the lad some time to adapt.

 

Guys I agree with you. I hoped to see him as a sub for one of the 3 fws, that's all.

 

Found some news about Minamino in for Mane tonight.
Probably bs but let's hope till.the very end.

 

Our boi is in

 

He struggled to make much impact tbh but that's expected. Also Salah was selfish af most of his game.

 

Liverpool struggled a lot with Wolves, not exactly the best match for Minamino's EPL debut.
As said Salah was a lot selfish but he encouraged Minamino after his first (deflected) shoot on goal, so at least he support him.

Now Mane is injured. Sunday Minamino will have other playtime, let's hope for a goal.

 

His positioning was pretty great. He never got the ball when in good positions in front of the goal though.

 

Started but not exactly what we hope for...

 

Dont know how he performed but I think okay, cause Liverpool was leading 2-0.

But even when he was bad today its very hard to play with the reserve resevers. Almost the hole team was not playing together in this formation so you can say Minamino was not really playing with "Liverpool". Klopp will know this. Its hard to play in a new league, with a new team especially when this team today is total out of team chemistry.

The other 2 games by the way Klopp was driving more or less crazy cause he loves what Takumi was playing. I would say a slightly solid start for Minamino. Of course not the Firestart we dream off but Minamino will shine under Klopp no worries.

 

Apparently he was quite poor. its not clear why Klopp wouldn't put him on the left and insists on him as a CF

 

That's Firmino's position, the other player in the squad most like him in style. If Minamino can replace him 1-1 Klopp can rest Firmino without having to change the formation or tactics.

 

I don't think Minamino will thrive there without putting on 10kg.

 

Having said that, i think as long as he can make it to the summer break with some reasonable rotation playing time and head into training camp pre season with a bit of experience and integration thats all we can hope for.

He should get a 10 or so games in between now and then across all competitions. If he can get maybe 1-2 goals and a couple good performances that'd be great

 

I watched the game. To me he wasn’t that poor. Made some good passes, kept possession pretty well, tracked back defensively. His problem was that Liverpool was very poor, especially after they went up 2-0, and lacked fluency in their play. Whenever he would make runs his teammates would not pass the ball to him. Hard to make an impact as a forward if your teammates don’t get you the ball in front of goal.

 

Mane still break?
Anyway the replay of this match will be very interesting! I hope Minamino will start again, it will be a tough and dramatic match for Pool since they can't lose the face against this type of opponents, FA Cup or not.

 

He needs to ... he’s been tremendously disappointed thus far !!

 

They tried Tsubasa and Misaki's Twin Shoot but the final product didnt go as expected.

 

5 more wins for Liverpool and they'll lift the PL. Hopefully that'll mean more appearances for Minamino by the end of the season.

I'm curious how many trophies he'll manage to get this year, thanks to the help of his former teammates in Salzburg as well, he could break a record in japanese football history.
