    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 all that Jozza, also doesn't help him IMO out on the left. We need to find a formation that gets him in the 10 role with him on the ball with everything in front of him.

    • That’s what I assumed was the original plan…. and how I expected him to be utilised. Our own David Silva. Will have to go some to get close to that fella, let’s hope it happens.

        He played out left for the German team against Northern Ireland and was poor that night as well.

        • If he plays in the number 10 role it means he plays in a 3.. hes too lightweight, fine in Germany when most teams are shit.
          We had issues with Couthinho position in the team as well. but overall he had more end product. I can't see it personally with Wirzt.

            Everything seems to be a dib, dab, poke or flick wit him. I just wish he'd put his boot through the ball sometimes, especially when shooting, rather than playing like it's a game of 5-a-side

              Indeed, its because he had so much time on the ball in Germany. hes being very neat and clever. You don't get half a second in the premier league, before someone is up your back. he loses the ball more than anyone because of that reason.Hes got to learn to be quicker and more decisive. or he won't make it here

              • Our MoTM today.

                Not exactly hard as everyone else was gash.

                • He is quality. Looks like he needs a rest but the squad is running on fumes so he's out there giving it his best.

                  • It's the subtle things. A lovely dink over an onrushing keeper, with his left foot.

                    • Very poor again today despite his offside goal

                      He slows the game down too much, takes too many touches, doesn’t play the ball when it’s on far too often

                        Stop with the offside goal. Of it was offside it would be offside.

                        He does take too many touches, BUT he was also the one trying to get on the as much as possible. He was trying to get things going. No runners off him.

                        He needs to be quicker, 100%. Plus he needs to cut off the needless flicks.
                        But to say he was poor today, I would disagree. He tried to get things going.

                        • I keep hearing he’s better off the left , but he seems lost out there a bit , I do believe if he’s going to really take off he needs to be more central and for the wide players and strikers to be making runs he can see and try to put balls into , I wonder what he be like behind a front three of salah firmino and mane , the runs they used to make he would be in fantasy land

                          • I agree. He looks out of place on the left. Maybe he's just helping the team for the time being while we deal with injuries. There's no way he plays there full time. I think he'll be great in the number 10 role so long as we have a few decent players around him.

                            • He will play the 10. This is just due to the current injuries

                              • I think the main thing we lack in the squad is lightning speed .i have said this forever on this forum , of course they have to be good footballers but I would love all of the front three to be blessed with searing pace , I believe if you had Wirtz in a central role with players who are able to just take off and he can put the ball in the space , probably why I’m a little disappointed to see semenyo not being targeted , and why I don’t like seeing gakpo out there .
