Welcome Takumi Minamino

[Swipe]

Thought Bobby was pretty good while we were good last night. 

[Benzo-13]

Three years of such a high level gonna take its toll on some players.

Just 2 goals this year ain't good 

[Swipe]

Yeah he's obviously had a quiet enough season by his standards.

Some massive goals, mind. 

[Bogman]

Not just the goals though. Integral is our Bobs.

[D.Boon]

I worry about Bobby. Please start scoring again.

When I find myself doubting Minamino, I look at this clip, and I believe.

Minamino comes to me

He was a pain in the backside playing against us. I lost count the number of times he picked the ball up really deep and got it moving forward really quickly. He does like an interception too.

Haha, the edits with Klopps reaction 

[Cam]

Wish we'd signed him instead.

[madaboutlfc]

He really feels like the kid who won the prize

[Rusty Shackleford]

I have absolute faith that he’ll be brilliant for us. There are echoes of the reaction some people had to Fabinho. I vividly remember a few on here playing up the PSG links after he’d been here for about three months. 

[Hassony]

Is there a worse phrase in football than calling a player 'competition winner'? 

[PhilM]

So is Minamino going to finish the season with two league winners medals from two different clubs?

[Aritro]

Serial competition winner

[kop205]

Are we sure we bought the right player?

He's been absolutely awful.

[Swipe]

Yeah really bad. Him, and to a slightly lesser extent Keita, look very un-Klopp players. They’re so weak.

In comparison to Jota he really hasn’t got going at all. 
Have a feeling the way we play and the level we have to keep up intensity is too much for him.

[guernseygareth]

Last night was not his finest that's for sure. Thought Jota had lost his rag with him at one point, then I realised exasperation seems to be Jota's default reaction anytime a pass isn't exactly where he wants it.

[Hightown Phil]

Thought the attack was a dysfunctional mess last night. Got absolutely no idea where anyone was playing or what everyone was supposed to be doing. 

[Eiler99]

Problem is you only get away with being that lightweight if you have clever movement and an extraordinary first touch so defenders can't get near you. He doesn't seem to have that and any half decent defender will just give him a little nudge and knick the ball.

Wasn't really helped by our other attacking players last night though and I'm not really sure what anyone's position was supposed to be.

He's also only playing in second string front lines by and large. I don't think he's played a single game with Salah and Mane either side of him. Not been great, but would be helpful for him if he was able to play football with the good players on at least a semi regular basis. He has after all only started two league games.

[Conrad]

he's been pretty terrible to be honest. he's still inside the 12 month warranty though so we can return him.

I've basically written him off now.  Had high hopes that he'd turn into an excellent player for us once he worked on his core strength, but he's had close to a year now and two long breaks and he looks as weak as he did when he started.

We'll sell him to a club in another league and he'll be a good player for them, but I'll be surprised if he does it with us.  He's just way, way too lightweight.
