Match Thread: Eintracht Frankfurt v Liverpool

[Steveo]

Yep sounds like the best option...and as a new line it needs time..

Little has really hit the ground running, not just with his goals but his all round play has been excellent.
He must be starting games the form he’s in.

Wirtz has a long way to go to prove he is up to it in this League. Slight improvement in his last two appearances but still has a lot to do. If he’s playing over near Salah it’s almost like playing with 9 men when the opposition get the ball back. As our goals against column would suggest, we can’t afford that and it is definitely partly responsible for the amount of goals we’re shipping.

Wirtz is not a scapegoat, I don’t do scapegoating but I call it as I see it and so far he hasn’t contributed enough going forward to warrant the weakening of our defensive play, same goes for Mo Salah.

The latter rightly getting far more leeway but with the two of them on one side and MacAllister completely ineffective on the other side, something’s gotta give, somewhere or we will continue to ship goals.

I would agree Wirtz is lightweight.
Currently, Isak, Mo, and Macca have been passengers too often. We can't carry that many players. If Mo or Isak start firing then you can make the case but currently they're not doing much for us.
