Florian Wirtz

[JockStrap]

The special glory hunters arrive right on time.

[pob]

As soon as he gets the ball it slows all the momentum down. The amount of time and touches he needs just kills every attack. It's not his fault though, that's the player the club saw fit to spend 116m on.

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.

You are way wrong, even more than usual.. which is some achievement tbh. Like almost every Liverpool fan - I am desperate to see the lad show his class. literally Willing it on. Keeping the faith when he plays the wrong ball - or loses possession - or under hits it - or blazes over etc.

We want him to succeed because it means we are doing well. But when BIFFs start trying to tell us that black is white in light of him showing a masterclass against - 2 points in late December Wolves - you open yourself up for ridicule.

I suggest like Henry’s GIMP you disconnect the internet

[JockStrap]

Nah. I’m telling you the Earth is round. You’re just too far gone.

Keep coming on here and sniping at our players. It’s your level.

[JockStrap]

Remind me, how much did we pay for him?

You lot will never tire of using that stick. Top glory hunting.

we were robbed, hes too ponderous, the facts he can't play in a 3 and can't play wide. shows we have no idea where hes best at.

[justme]

if hes gonna play in a attacking formation he needs more end product.. 1 goal and assist is not enough, and i doubt over his career here he will do much more consistently . hes not gonna make it. its obvious

[eggy81]

Team is a non functional mess so it’s hard to call just yet but he’s definitely not the type to take the game by the scruff of the neck himself anyway on the evidence so far. Needs the players around him performing well and finding him in good positions for him to excel.

You can say that about the entire team.

We don't move the ball quick enough and every single player wants too much time on the ball.

Arguably Wirtz's worst performance of the season. Stood on the ball, tripped and fuddled his way around the pitch for the most part.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to play the short ball and keeping possession, but it has to be done at speed.

Agree with this. Wirtz wasn’t worse than anyone . He was just typical of the general play. Subs did make us worse but actually it changed most when Leeds made theirs…

[JockStrap]

But how much did we pay for him?

[Steveo]

You know what they say….

Pay peanuts…

get ‘Hey Hey with the Monkeeys’

[JockStrap]

Back on topic there's a good interview with Bradley where he's clearly in awe of how good Wirtz is. Says he sees it every day in training.

[Nineteenx]

Absolute wank today

[JockStrap]

Turns out Wirtz was given extra rest during the week due to that hamstring issue. He was risked against Leeds but it didn't pay off. That explains why he was poor. If he's not right then he'll likely miss the Fulham game.

But do continue slating him anyway. Top glory hunters.
