Florian Wirtz - Welcome to LFC

[labourRed]

I'm a bit concerned that Wirtz tendencies seem to drift in from the left, as does Ekitike (and Isak). Will our attack become lob-sided.

If we find ourselves overloading the left, I assume that may result in additional space and chances for our attacker on the right. In that case it would be quite handy if that attacker on the right were to be one of the most lethal forwards in the world. It would be quite handy indeed....

I see where you're going with that, but someone needs to pass him the ball.

Coincidentally he got the lowest score for a player who wasn't sent off in a match, which may be subjective, i dunno. But i do know the attack on the right side was very poor yesterday.

I would hazard a guess his tweet and maybe the ramifications from within the club may have been playing on his mind. Not to mention the sorrow. Not an excuse but it wasn't a fully fledged serious game yesterday.

Perhaps. But his record in finals/Wembley is surprisingly poor.

What tweet?

Salah spent most of last season doing very little. Still managed to rack up a record number of goals and assists in between.

We have to accept he cant run or beat players, but given space he can still find the net or put in a perfect ball, but he needs service. I think it might take a while to gel with Frompong. Salah was on specific orders not to track back last year. With both right sided players ultra attacking, I think it will take time to find the right balance there. Think tat depends a lot on Grav being on the pitch though.

What tweet?

Seriously.

[fidget]

Maybe he's being sincere.

What tweet?

The one that went viral over Israel bombing resulting in the death of this fella.

[memzey]

Seriously. I hadn’t seen that. What’s the big deal?

[Kenneth]

There isn't one. Not a chance that his performance was in any way related.

[danperkins]

Looks like it's going to take him awhile to get into the flow of things. He just won't have the time on the ball he had in the Bundas and our fixture list at the start of the season has been and is very unforgiving. Classy player with so much talent but really struggled in the opening games, looking lightweight and slow. He is one that could really do with a goal.

TBF that wasn't much of a football match yesterday, could hardly get a more difficult match as your first away match in England. But agree, it's going to take some time, not too worried yet though.
