    He needs benching Fernandes is better at what he’s supposed to do, for 100m he should be releasing the wide forwards playing Ekitije through at will and chipping in with 10 goals minimum

    He tried to be far too cute all the fkn time and it mostly never comes off then when he has a clearer chance to assist he over or under hits it

    It might help Wirtz if he starts releasing players doing everything quicker and more precisely instead of trying to look really stylised and doing it in semi slow motion

    See Wirtz is like Thiago for me, all fur coat and no knickers a very good player in a slower league

    Would it help Wirtz with his shooting, passing and decision making if Gakpo and Salah were playing better?

    I just don't know where you play him.. hes not a wide player on the left of midfield and hes not in a 3 in midfield.
    Our midfield worked last season with the 3 of Grav/Macca and Dom.. you can't get away with 2 and Wirzt. Graveberch has not been great this season cause hes basically not had any help. Dom is physically strong in midfield. Hes playing right back because Slot doesn't trust Salah to work hard enough. I doubt Arne Slot knows how to fix this. so hes gone in the summer

    Why does he try that unusual looking stunned finish so often. When it looks like laces are the better call. Most frustrating thing about him imo. He’s actually been pretty good most of the season in general play but yes. Not really showing what you’d expect for so much money and it has impacted our play fitting him in.

    You can get away with Wirtz playing in an AM role just so long as you have at least two players behind him who can provide the positional awareness, protection for the defence, and control to help balance out anything we're currently not getting from Wirtz.

    The trouble with our established midfield three is that despite what one or two would like to believe, Mac Allister is not capable of adding any of the above attributes to our midfield. I'm increasingly coming across fans, pundits, journalists etc who have finally realised the same.

    Then we have Gravenberch. He has fallen off a cliff. Why? Is 'the Slot effect' having the same affect on him as it seems to be having with almost all of our other players? Or was his last season an anomaly and now he's just reverted back to putting in performances nearer to his usual level, albeit with them being made worse by what's going on around him?

    Jones simply isn't good enough to be at best anything more than a bench or squad player. He is similar to Mac Alilister when it comes to his failings. On one hand he offers a bit more 'oomph' for want of a better term, but he also offers less end product. He'll have one or two decent but not great games and as a result some people start heaping praise upon him only for him to then immediately revert back to his usual level.

    Finally we have Szoboszlai, the one midfielder we have who is currently justifying his position in the team and the praise he's getting. However he can't do it all on his own, and it certainly doesn't help his or our cause by being played at RB.

    We need to start making serious changes both on and off the pitch. On it the two areas that need a major overhaul are the midfield and defence. The type and extent of those changes will depend on how we are going to set up, and who we intend to play in that set up.
