Florian Wirtz

Wirtz has put on a lot of muscle that will take him time to get used to. Dont forget szobozzlai had a pretty indifferent second half to his first season as well so would be prepared to give him a proper run at a second sesson

Yes. I think we can judge him better after next season. To me he's shown glimpses of real quality. He can be very frustrating though as he does something clever and positive one minute then passes it straight to the opposition the next. There are mitigating factors too I think. The team as a whole hasn't been functioning and that's been true whether Wirtz is in the team or not. If it was a case of Wirtz being dropped and suddenly the team plays well, then I'd be more inclined to see him as the problem. But that hasn't been the case. We can count on one hand how many players have had an okay season for us: Alisson, VVD, Szobo, Ekitike. The rest have been patchy at best. I like Frimpong but he's had a lot of setbacks. Also Grav is quality but at times has been hit and miss this season. So all of that is a huge caveat for me. If we get a differnet coach next season I wouldn't be surprised to see Wirtz flourish.

This season is on slot and wirtz also a issue.
Wirtz good lad and player but we are not suited to playing a number 10,the midfield 2 have struggled all season and gapko and fading salah have also had a poor season under this formation.
Sorry the 4 2 3 1 isnt going to work and should cash in on wirtz.
