Get off your high horse. I saw Wijnaldum debut more than 10 years ago. You think you a better idea of his capabilities because you "heard" he didn't have a good last season at Liverpool and saw him warm up a few times?OCCASIONNAL good performances, that's a big difference. If they're in an average day they won't be able to compete against top midfielders.
And the space they have to cover is a very separate issue. I'm talking about the way they deal with the ball while under pressure, which is a HUGE factor at the highest level. And the answer is : they suck at it and do everything to give it to Verratti so they're off the hook. That's not the way you play high level football, not with players scared of having the ball in their feet.
I don't really know why people here, most of them watching 5 PSG games a year top, are trying to prove our midfielders aren't that bad. I think I know how good or bad they are.
If they're capable of good performances, maybe they can keep those up if they are picked based on a form?. Like I said you have 6 somewhat competent ones and I just watched a team with James fecking Milner in midfield smash mine. Liverpool would love to have kept Wijnaldum and they're challenging for the title. You guys need water carriers and not another diva with silky technique.
