Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has said that every point that the Reds could earn is good in the pursuit of glory in the Premier League this season. The Reds drew against Leicester City in their last match in the Premier League which saw them squander a chance to get a significant lead over the second-placed Manchester City, who lost their last match against Newcastle United by 2-1.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the Dutch midfield ace said, “We could’ve created a gap of seven points. At the end it’s five but of course we are disappointed that we couldn’t make it seven.”
He added, “I think we had a good start, we scored quick [and] after that we had a lot of possession. We didn’t create a lot of chances after that, but it was good. They had one chance with the header of Maddison, but the second chance was a goal from them. I think everyone was thinking about the seven because it was possible and it didn’t happen. Everyone is disappointed, but I think five points is also good. Every point that you can collect is good.”
Wijnaldum concluded, “It’s always tough when you have to play when it just snowed, but it’s two teams that have to deal with it so you can’t complain about it or use it as an excuse. We’ll try to collect the three points against West Ham. It’s going to be difficult, but so is every game in the Premier League.”
