Florian Wirtz - Welcome to LFC

[BG1973]

I thought Damien Duff was the move with Anelka but we bought Diouf, Cheyrou and Diao

Damien duff was much later surely.. ambramovich/Rafa times..

Damien duff was much later surely.. ambramovich/Rafa times..

He joined Chelsea two years after we signed those lads, he played over 30 games for Blackburn the season before we signed them and he starred for Ireland in the 2002 WC. He was the one and there was always chatter in Ireland circles that he was on our radar

Well bugger me britches.

It seems later for sure and Duff was just coming good - was a lot if talk in Ireland that he was Liverpool bound every summer and then came Abramovich and his dirty money

Any word on the injury?

[peterbread]

Back spasms so shouldn’t be out for long. I think it was more precautionary.

Cheers mate. We need him fit that’s for sure.

Florian Wirtz created eight chances against Galatasaray, the most by a Liverpool player in a Champions League game across the last 10 seasons.

I love watching his close control at times. He’s a next level 4D player that Ekitike seems to understand better than some. An absolute baller

Yeah he can receive the ball in positions where you think he cannot hold on to it, then a second later he is either after turning to run with the ball or has pinged it off to someone that is not under pressure.

Get more run makers and linkers around him and he will just keep play moving at a pace all game long.

[vlahka]

Isnt he like second or third highest chance creator in the league? Considering our joke attack, thats beyond accomplishment.

[Catrin]

Anyone have a clue why he doesn't just put his foot through it when in a shooting position? He could easily be well into double figures if he just whacked it.

Maybe he’s just playing the % game. He keeps the ball very close to his feet so it’d be difficult to generate the power needed to beat the keeper when he’s in tight spaces but yeah there’s times when we all must think just leather it.
