Florian Wirtz

[JockStrap]

But a fantastic presser, which is where the comparison was made.

He was ok. I wouldn't go overboard with that. He did the odd silly run towards the keeper at speed which looked ok but was usually completely wasted.

Outside of that he was fucking useless.

[JockStrap]

Had zero positive affect on the game yet again, though some would have you believe he’s “World Class”.

Don’t make me laugh.

Yea people like Stevie G think he's world class. But what would he know?

[Steveo]

Again the shill is twisting the truth to try and create an alternate reality and to spin a narrative.

Stevie G's actual words below... and they categorically do not suggest that he thinks Wirtz is world class... as yet.


Live on TNT Sports - January 2026, Gerrard said..

"I think it's clear that he can get to a world-class level."

[JockStrap]

I don't know why you get a hard on for criticising a 22 year old kid who is one of the bright sparks in our team.

[Steveo]

You are hilarious.. within minutes you've gone from telling porky pies about Gerrard's alleged claim - to wrongly claiming I have been 'criticising' Wirtz. Not that criticising any player is an issue on this forum... but in this instance I simply suggested we missed him yesterday ...which we did...and that we need more from the lad in games like this... which we do.

City beat us mostly in and around the area of the pitch Wirtz operates within. Not that he is to blame at all, and I thought he did work hard... but most would expect him to be doing more based on his price tag and the amount to which our entire setup has been reconfigured to accommodate him.

You refuse to accept it and resort to telling fibs about what people have said.

Quite the embarrassment.

[JockStrap]

Gerrard was an example. Most pundits think Wirtz is a special talent. You splitting hairs doesn't change that. But you can't help yourself. Anything to have a go at the club. Pat yourself on the back. Top Red.

[Steveo]

Your Gerrard example - just another of your bogus claims.

And this isn't "splitting hairs" you said he said something which he clearly did not say. His words say something very different to your claim.

What you said was not true. Not that we expect an apology.


AND what Gerrard said actually falls directly in line with what most of us feel. The potential is huge.. we now need to see it consistently... At that point it becomes a discussion about World Class.

[JockStrap]

You are one boring fucker. Whine, whine, whine. Do everyone a favour and piss off till the season is over.

[Steveo]

Aw bless his little cotton socks....

The liar gets caught out and resorts to personal insult.

[JockStrap]

Right. Because if you admitted that Wirtz was world class you'd have to give the club credit for signing him. And we can't have that.

Wirtz has made you and your gang look very stupid, over and over again this season. Bore off you miserable twat.

[Steveo]

No I would be over the moon to say he is 'world class'.. as I was over the moon when we signed him. But he isn't 'world class' at this moment in time. He has improved from a very low bar. He has shown 'world class' ability at times...last week v Newcastle to name one such moment....but then so do so many players up and down the league each month.


Question.. Is Silva world class? Think before answering because he outclassed Florian last night..

Also - I don't know if all the shilling is getting to you but - you seem confused on my Wirtz position.that or just continuing the lies and twisting of the truth to make your comments seem more palatable.

[Kev0909]

Just don't understand why we have to moan about him if he doesn't assist or score

Should every player have a thread and comments after every game?

I mean I'd get it if everyone else played well, why doesn't Mo have a thread (not about him leaving)

[Steveo]

I can't speak for anyone else... but this was my comment from yesterday..

Missed him today. Couple of nice flicks... but we need much much more. I know Silva is on another level but still - instead of being in awe... do the basics.

It's not harsh in the slightest - it's not a moan - it's simply asking for more from a player we have tweaked the entire setup for.

And I suggest it's tough to argue against. The shill is trying to discredit the truth using lies. If anyone has an issue I suggest they start there.

[JockStrap]

Just don't understand why we have to moan about him if he doesn't assist or score

Should ever player have a thread and comments after every game?

I mean I'd get it if everyone else played well, why doesn't Mo have a thread (not about him leaving)

Because this lot want any excuse to have a go at Wirtz. They want to be proved right on a forum more than they want a 22 year old kid, with the world at his feet, to succeed.

Top Reds.

[Steveo]

Let's who falls for this utter bollox... Popcorn at the ready...
