Florian Wirtz

Could have had an assist today too but Ekitike hit the post. We don't count those, right Ian?

So not an assist then.

He’s improving we still give up too much trying to support him being playmaker Still the imbalance in players picking up and those looking to be in space

Chiesa was good but short of match fitness, released Frimpong to assist and it should have been two linked well with Teacake

It might be covered by Expected Assists (Total)

Wirtz has the 4th highest score in our PL campaign to date.

Gakpo 2.76
Sobozla 2.47
Salah 2.42
Wirtz 2.27

Jones is 5th with 1.36

Grav 0.99 and Frimpong 0.57 each have 3 PL assists, same as Gakpo & Salah.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good stat.

A great performance from him but mostly in the first half. We'll need to see that alot more especially against the better teams, not just against the team at the bottom when we're at home.

Hoping for another Wirtz masterclass tomorrow against Leeds. He's a real pleasure to watch. There's enough promise in his partnership with Ekitike to suggest they'll cause Leeds all sorts of problems.

It’s the hope that kills you.

hey well he looked great against Wolves.. hes one of the main reasons we have been dire this season, he needs to go.

You can't have slow attacking players in the league they need to be quick. teams are so damn good at block defence these days..

Top glory hunting.

[Steveo]

More bluster

[JockStrap]

Imagine the type of fan that wants Wirtz to have a quiet game so they can come here and gloat.

Takes a very special type of glory hunter.

Awful performance from him, though stuck out on the wing didn't help .

What are you talking about ?

Careful now, you’ll have his 3 or 4 fanboys on your case.

You know it’s not his fault look at how poor other players have been for other clubs.
And you can’t mention him today because others were also poor.

Stop telling it how it is, red tinted glasses only.
