Match Thread: Liverpool v Atletico Madrid

[ianlfc]

Another cracking game of football and other teams will hate the fact that we never give up.

Don't really get the hate?

Ratings have Wirtz as 8 along with salah and VVD top players according to the ratings......

don't be shitcunt fans like UTD not going to help if supporters turn on the lad

Absolutely no one hates Wirtz Kev.

However as a fan who’s first game at Anfield had Tommy Lawrence in goal and Stevie Heighway on the wing, I’ve seen a few players come and go.

And for a record fee having been paid for a player we are told is an absolute footballing genius, I expect him to look better than Harvey Elliott and at times he has looked like a downgrade not an upgrade.

As I have also repeatedly said, though I am not saying he will never come good he certainly hasn’t been good yet and we have weakened the midfield to fit him in.

Last night was better, in that he made a couple of chances but he also gave the ball away with an easy pass available to him, far too often for my liking.

At £100m you are looking for a player to be pretty feckin good pretty much from day one.. he needs to be close to the finished article not a work in progress.

5 chances created last night not enough ?

seems to be getting fitter and adjusting by the game to me.

He's only 22 give him chance

Excited to see him link up with Isak in the future
