In this recurring FOARcast feature, we attempt to bust the following Myth
Gini Wijnaldum only shows up at Home, never Away!
Gini is a valuable Liverpool player since the start of the season and has proven to be an astute buy by Jurgen Klopp into his squad, but there seems to be unshakeable criticism of Gini which has followed him from his Newcastle days...that he tends to disappear in matches away from Home.
Is this a valid criticism or is it shrouded in a lack of understanding of his role? What other factors may be at play?
