I know it's only 4 games but still didn't quite know what Gini brings to the team. Hopefully he will come good in the end. I have faith in Klopp's judgment. overall a GREAT GREAT win. could and should score more than 4 goals. top it off with Man utd losing. best combo.

He has already created 2 goals in 4 games, from a completely unfamiliar role at this level.

He needs to improve his defensive work, but for me he is taking far too much criticism. As is Lallana who has now got 2 goals from 4 games, also from a new role.

Whatever way you look at our start to this season we have no played last seasons top 3 and dropped just 2 points against them. Barring one complete off-day vs Burnley we have started exceptionally well!

I would rather we played Stewart in centre midfield as he gives us more steel. Thought Milner had a good game and looked competent, Matip was immense, Lucas played well (not going to mention the goal as it was a hospital pass from the keeper), Sturridge led the line well and Mane and Firmino were unplayable. And the new stand looks amazing. Lots of positives but still the same niggle in midfield. Plus Man United got beaten too so good day all round.

Gini has 2 assists in 4 matches. That being said, I do agree that he doesn't exactly stamp his authority over games.

I'll tell you who he reminds me of: Maxi Rodriguez, especially in his last 18 months here. Barely see him in general play, but then he pops up around the box with a goal or an assist. His goals for Newcastle (nearly all from arriving late in the box) + anything I've heard from Newcastle fans about him seem to back that impression up. Of course Maxi had a good goals/ games ratio for a midfielder in that period, whilst Gini is yet to register for the club.

Personally, it's not a style of player I'd have in my team, but if he can start producing the final product as he settles in, then I'll be quite happy. And I definitely think the tactical set-up Klopp has come up with to utilise him and Lallana in central midfield is working.

He made some good runs today and the ball wasn't delivered to him. He was better today. Still learning his role in the team, let's be patient!

What he gives is a composure with the ball, an attacking threat from midfield, something we missed last year. Yes he hasn't been perfect, but playing midfield in the Premier League is difficult. On more than one occasion he kept his head in the box to provide an assist, unlike other midfielders we have had like Allen, Lucas and even Henderson who lack composure further up the field.

He can take the ball from midfield and drive forward, and I would prefer him making run into the box than Henderson or Can. He has pace, and he is comfortable receiving the ball, he has a good range of passing and plays with his head up. From last year we know he can score goals, and the position he keeps getting into, it won't be long before he scores his first goal.

He has also done his work defensively, especially today where I noticed a few key interceptions and good defensive headers. With his play I see an intelligence and understanding of the game which is important.

It is still too early to judge him, but given the good list of attributes he possesses I think he can be a good player for us.

Gini was excellent today.

You must be watching a different game to me. I thought he was really effective today, generally tidy on the ball always looking to break the lines and pull their defenders about. We haven't had a midfielder for ages who wants to go beyond the strikers.

Gini can be a great player for us. Links play, one touch passes etc and those runs into the box can be deadly. He'll bag a few goals his year then suddenly people will see what he brings.

Gini took the candies from frankly georginio wijnaldum has his best game for liverpool and he is improving every game and frankly still won't leave him alone.
