Gini deserves a thread.
He does doesn't he, really glad that others are starting to pick up on what he brings to the midfield, I watched quite a bit of him playing as captain for PSV Eindhoven and I thought that with a bit of luck he would really be the midfielder that Liverpool were missing if he could make the step up.
I think a lot of the early complaints had something to do with a misunderstanding over what defending can be when it isn't crunching tackles, something you see less of outside the premier league. This is something that Klopp said recently that sums it up for me:
All the players are involved in defending until they are not involved and it is all about protection and being an option. When you don’t protect you need to be an option to get a pass or create some space.
Klopp doesn't even mention tackling so it seems he believes defending in midfield is being a outlet when things are tough, creating space and screening players, basically using football intelligence to read the game, things I think Gini is well equipped to add to the team due to the Dutch way of playing he was used to. I think he made his first tackle for Liverpool against Chelsea, but that was at a point in the game where there was no other choice, a break was on if the player he tackled wasn't stopped.
Perhaps it is a bit early to think of songs but given his nickname I think a pretty sweet chant could be made from the old Dexys Midnight Runners song "Gino".
