Is Gini turning into Lucas?

He's magnificent in games wehere we have to press against top opposition. His energy, drive, workrate, ability to nick possession, and usually excellent touch and shielding of the ball make him pretty much the perfect midfielder for those types of games. He'll be very good for us in the later stages of the CL - if we get there.

He's piss-poor against opposition that sit deep and require some creativity and ingenuity. He looks like he's waiting to just start running somewhere the whole time.

In an ideal world, you'd bench him for all games against bottom half of the table sides - but we have no midfield alternatives to replace him currently, unless you count the fucking limp Milner. Which I don't.

So we're stuck with him until Keita comes really.

Oh great, so after years of perfecting the midfielder who could only play in certain formations, with certain specific midfield partners, we have now evolved this into a midfielder who can only perform against certain types of teams, and shouldn't play at all in more than half of our fixtures.

Hurray!

Only midfielder we have that is good enough is lallana and he's hardly fit. The rest are average at best and need upgrading. Would help a bit of klopp knew how to buy players to give us balance rather than same type of midfielders every single time.

It's odd because he was originally that type of player. He ran at players, did step overs, tricks, all that jazz.

Do you disagree with my view?
 
So when the front 3 are banging in the goals / performance, gini is a candidate for man of the match. However when the front 3 don't perform, it's not gini fault as it's the oppositions tactics
 
Shit, it looks like in trying to make a point about Gini I inadvertently started another Lucas debate...
