Florian Wirtz

[Insidious]

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

Yeah - I still think he does his best work in the left half-space. I don't think we're disagreeing here.

Szoboszlai..........Wirtz

Forward ......Striker.......Forward

If doing a 4-3-3 and I'd happily have him behind two strikers if we did a Diamond.

Picks the ball up about 30 yards out. Two touches and BANG.

Just watching the keeper through that sequence. He's convinced that Wirtz is going to the keepers left. See him keep edging that way.

Then Wirtz slots it in the other corner and the keeper is helpless. He seems to do that a lot.
