Georginio Wijnaldum hails "ruthless" Liverpool display in Maribor

Georginio Wijnaldum reveals that boss Jurgen Klopp urged Liverpool's players to become "more ruthless" in front of goal ahead of their 7-0 thrashing of Maribor.

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has claimed that he was always confident the goals would soon return for his side following their recent barren spell.

The Reds had scored an underwhelming eight goals in eight games overall heading into Tuesday evening's Champions League clash against Maribor, despite boasting a hugely talented forward line.

Liverpool appear to have got their campaign back on track by returning to the scoring trail in Slovenia, though, hitting seven past Maribor for their record away win in European competition.

Wijnaldum believes that it was simply a matter of time before the Merseyside outfit turned chances into goals, telling Sky Sports News: "Was it a relief? Not with me. We were a little bit sad that we didn't score a lot of goals [in recent matches] as we created a lot of chances.

"The manager told us if we play like that, creating a lot of chances and are maybe more ruthless in the chances we get, then we would score goals. We just kept the belief and played how we always believed - just being more ruthless."

Liverpool, now with two wins in nine games, return to action on Sunday afternoon with a trip to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
