"He’s a finisher, which is the most difficult thing to learn, he has the nose for a goal if you want,” Klopp said in July after convincing the midfielder to sign a new long term contract.
“Harry’s development in the last few years is really exceptional so of course we had to keep the boy!
“Now we see what we do with that, but it’s really good that his long-term future is, for sure, at Liverpool.
“It’s good news.”
Ibe was massively hyped! He was supposedly going to be better than Sterling (back when we all thought Sterling was the bees knees).
Re Wilson - don't think I've ever seen a player scoring this many free kicks over a sustained period of time - not Pernambucano, not Beckham. This is, what, his 4th? 5th? in a month or two? Will be interesting to see how long this can go on for. I remember a couple of years back Willian went though a similar spell where he seemed to score free kicks at a ridiculous rate for a month or two, but don't think it was this many.
He's scoring them brilliantly but I have no idea how many he's taking to back that kind of claim. I know what you mean though, I think sometimes its a confidence thing, once one or two go in, players seem to feel they can score every one they take. I remember there was a point any Suarez freekick within a certain range I felt the minimum we got would be him sending the keeper flying across goal to keep it out otherwise its in, the same with Coutinho and I remember thinking in the Arsenal game he was shooting and scoring despite how far out it was.
The most prolific i've seen remains Juninho, never seen a player so gifted at taking them and it annoys me players like mr 1 in over 40 freekicks Ronaldo get credit for a technique that was being used long before he picked it up
