I agree.
His pressing is noticeably half a yard slower and his reaction to the Allison goal (helping us getting CL) kind of was like "well, I'm not going to be here next year anyway".

It's just clear what a fucking leader he is .. and the respect he demands, from his team and rival teams alike.
If @doctor_mac was still alive, he'd be posting one of his favorite GIFS - where one of the hardest men in the PL just backs off from a Hendo stare
Points to the sky
Yeah, it has to be either him or Woland. If DB starts it, then the mods better delete it quickly.
Where's doctor mac? Only just realised he's gone.
Sacrificed to try and counter Dreamy's fucking curse.
Didn't see this but the spidey senses were tingling so I fired one up the second i logged in. #wavelength
Nah, his attitude in a crucial period for the club stinks.
Gini absolutely deserves a warm send-off. He is entitled to run down his contract, and seek a better payday if that's what he wants.
He's been a great pro, a terrific member in the dressing room and played a vital vital part in our most successful period in 30 years.
I'll always remember him fondly.
At this point however, it's probably best for both sides that he moves on. We need some new blood in midfield.

Agree.
That first goal against middlebrough comes to mind.
And the 2 goals against Barca.
He was also ever present when our midfielders were dropping like flies.
He was an important part of our squad over the past 5 odd years, contract impasse or not.
I’m not sure of you can really read that much into just the fact he wasn’t jumping up and down like the rest of us when Alisson scored.
He looks really tired and leggy lately and was a bit pants yesterday, he’s played over 37 games and I assume that’s more than any of our current midfield lot.
He’s been a great player for us and has scored some massive goals in a defining period for LFC, not going to forget that because lately he looks a man leaving.
It’s amazing how quickly some major sentiment changes on here, 6 months ago, it was sell Salah because he’s a greedy wanker and Mane is a good bloke and better player. Now let’s fck off Mane, cos he’s done and possibly older than what it says on passport.
It’s been a crap 18 months for all, yet Gini has always been available like Mane and Robbo.
25 million buy with a great song, he deserves a massive LFC send off for his 5 yrs with us.

His career for LFC will be fondly remembered, lots of very important goals along with being key to the system that brought him #6 and #19. He has given up at the end of this season though which is a shame as it is whilst he is wearing the captain's armband and I would hope that he was bringing his best every game whilst captaining this club.
Robbo's fab. But I also love Hendo popping in to the Messi spat, just quietly stepping into the greatest player ever, to say "Nope. Not here, son.".
I turned 49 a couple of weeks back, and I seriously think that Hendo might rival even Graeme Souness as the best leader we've had in my lifetime.
Gini has been fucking brilliant for us. The attitude to him from some is truly bizarre. The idea that he’s not trying or doesn’t care is also absolute fucking shit.
This is utter bollocks. He's the only reason we even have a chance to make the top 4, with the way he held us together through the late autumn and early winter.
Honestly, the shite that some of you lot are spouting about Gini these past few months is utter shash.
What did Klopp say about Mane?
1 time he shows disrespect but don’t forget the other 99 times he was really respectful or words to that effect.
Same goes for Gini.
He was poor in the last game but nevertheless he’s more than done his part in the past few seasons.
Fucking brilliant?
He's had fucking brilliant moments - starting with the goal that got us into the CL (I think against Newcastle?).
But he's struggled to impose himself in many games.
I know he's been key this season, as @Whaddapie says, just because he's there and was holding our midfield together which was ravaged by the CB mess and CM injuries.
However, his celebration after Allisson's goal was very very very very weird.
How can you explain that? A guy the whole team loves, scoring a massive goal and everyone is going insane like it's the final of the CL and Gini doesn't even lift his arms, just jogs over as if it was a given in the 95th minute. Give me a good explanation, and I'll run with you but I just can't think of one meself.
Be honest, 30 years from now, I doubt I (or you will) remember too much of Gini? He was reliable and steady but not a player you'd tell your grand kids about.
Will you have forgotten the Barca game by then?
I'm desperate to have grand-kids, so I can tell them all about the role Nigel Spackman played in the 87/88 all conquering team.
I wonder if Leeds fans remember much of David Batty?
I remember more Div than I do Gini.
Nah - I'll tell my grandkids how he wheeled away after a great header from Shaq touching the badge as we made the greatest comeback in CL history.
And how he was pissed with Klopp who didn't start him.
He's not Bobby, or Mane, or Salah, or Hendo but he's part of one the greatest teams in our illustrious history and he was an ever present.
Happy belated birthday Derek and many of 'em.
Souey edges it for me, but the way Hendo's made the armband his own is brilliant too.
David Batty was a fucking yard dog.
