Midfielder hasn’t yet scored for Reds
Georginio Wijnaldum has admitted that he is getting frustrated with his current goal drought and wants to end it on Friday night when his team Liverpool travel to Chelsea.
Wijnaldum left relegated Newcastle for Anfield in the summer, but is yet to score in a Red shirt.
He has provided two assists for the his team so far this season as Liverpool have emerged as one of the most attacking sides in the Premier League.
“You get used to scoring goals,” he told Liverpool’s official website.
“During the years I have scored a lot of goals as a midfielder and when you get that feeling, you always want to score.
“You’re going to have a hunger to score goals and you’re going to be greedy to score goals. That’s what I am right now.
“But the most important thing is how can I help the team? If that’s with assists then so be it. Of course I want to score, because I did it for a lot of years in a lot of teams and it’s something I can do.
“I’m searching for goals because if you get used to scoring goals, you’re going to have a hunger and be greedy to score goals from midfield.
“But you must also think about what you have to do to help my teammates and my team.
“This couple of games it was with assists, but I’m relaxed and easy, I have faith in my qualities and I know goals will come. But the team is the most important thing and if we win games, it’s OK for me.”
Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge tomorrow night as they take on Antonio Conte’s Chelsea.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will have to worry about defending as much as attacking as Diego Costa has been in fantastic form in the opening stages of the season. The Spain star has bagged four goals in his opening four games including a brace away at Swansea last Sunday.
