Florian Wirtz

[Nineteenx]

Better again last night apart from the keeper incident helped by Robbo giving him plenty of forward passes and not getting in the way in his space like Kerkez does when forward

He’s pressing and counter pressing as well as anyone and setting the tone too which I obviously like to see

Apparently up to Thursday (will have changed slightly since no doubt) Wirtz had created 66 chances from open play this season.

It would mean that only three players would have a higher tally than him in the top five European Leagues.

Lamine Yamal - 80
Kylian Mbappe - 79
Michael Olise - 68

That's ridiculously encouraging for a 22-year old who has every chance of getting better and could in time have a more clinical attacking unit ahead of him if we buy well.
