Saying how well Wirtz is playing at the moment. Saying how well he clicks with Ekitike
Although it was Carrierbag I thought tonight was his best game
I’ve been wanting to see him more in midfield trying to release or join the 3 ahead of him and I saw a lot of that tonight and think it’s where he fits in best
The Coutinho role starting from LCM moving into those pockets trying to g to play in or join the three forwards ahead of him
He links well either Teacake in seeing the opportunity as Teacake is the one that makes it happen and opens up the defence and plays great passes to him
Wirtz was absolutely brilliant in the left half-space for Leverkusen and has done well with us when he drifts in there.
More please. I'd absolutely build our future attack around Wirtz and Ekitike's increasing chemistry - two pacey, tricky players with the capacity to finish flanking Hugo with Florian supplying could be *chef's kiss* in time.
He came from a deeper position for that he was often behind a front three
Ekitike and Wirtz don’t especially link that well, when it happens is when Ekitike decides to beat a couple of players when the short over passing is getting us nowhere, Wirtz then spits the space and makes good runs and Ekitike tees Wirtz up as he should be doing Ekitike
VOTE JOCKY tae fix this fiasco.

Wirtz was also central in a false 9 position for that goal I think having arrive there from deeper
You do remember the Coutinho role don’t you Sid?
The difference tonight with 3 forwards ahead of Wirtz most of the time is there was greater threat and movement and we didn’t constantly look a forward short
How much have I talked about Wirtz as an effective one of the front three fucking Macca up and us always looking a forward short? A fucking lot
Oh hang on what happened tonight when the front three created space for the mids to move into ?
Wirtz best game tonight with a front 3 ahead of him mostly
Welcome to the party 19. You're a bit slow but better late than never 👏

Needs to play the Countinho role starting at LCM and moving into space and pickets from there with 3 ahead of him I never doubted he was a good player using him as an effective one of the three trying to make everything go through him doesn’t work
Key thing, with a front three of three forwards ahead of him occupying 4 or 5 defenders he gets more time and space and can see the picture ahead of him m, that also allows the others 2 mids to join better
Robbo’s arriving in space helping manipulate the space and delivery made a massive difference tonight
He picked out Wirtz arriving from a deeper position in space 2 or 3 times with a cross field too
His true oisitiib and best fior us finally shown tonight
It will never work as Slot planned, Wirtz as part of the midfield 3 with three forwards ahead of him like most of tonight’s game also supported by one attacking full back I think will work
De Bruyne started right of City’s three a lot to move into the positions he did off thrn ti make the play score and assist
