Liverpool forward Takumi Minamino was very impressive against Norwich City at Carrow Road last night.
The 26-year-old scored two goals against the Canaries. Minamino also registered a WhoScored player rating of 8.72 against Norwich City.
Liverpool won the aforementioned third round League Cup clash 3-0.
As you can see below, some Liverpool supporters took to Twitter after the match to praise the Japan international for his performance against the Canaries.

@LFC Minamino has earned the opportunity to start or at least replace the front 3 on Saturday 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾–
ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT
Liverpool signed Minamino from RB Salzburg for a transfer fee of €8.50 million back in the 2020 January transfer window.
However, the forward has not been given much of an opportunity at Anfield. Minamino has only made 32 appearances for Liverpool’s first-team.
The Japan international was even loaned out to Southampton for second half of the 2020-21 campaign.
We saw last night that Minamino is more than good enough to play for the Reds. The 26-year-old simply needs to be given more of an opportunity.
Therefore, like the aforementioned Liverpool supporters, we do hope to see more of Minamino throughout the 2021-22 campaign.
