    I think a draw but what I will add is, IF a team loses
    I think they will be the ones pushing for the title at the end of the season

    I think Wirtz is as close to being an automatic pick as Salah atm because of his price tag

    Give wirtz time.

    He's running hard. He's just not got the space or time to settle yet. He will get there.

    The player who is undroppable now is Szoboszlai. He has really raised his game to compete. Great reaction to buys.

    The stats I saw said Wirtz completed 23/24 passes. When he gets the ball, he's doing ok. Hea not getting the ball though.

    Our tactics are seeing him run beyond Ekitike as he drops deep. Nobody can find the pass to him so far.

    More than anything though he's running and working.

    imo he should stop running around aimlessly chasing the ball and conserve some energy

    Well, theres seem of that and some things they have worked on that have not come off yet.

    Eventually Ekitike will drag cbs out and wirtz will pop up and score. We just been gravenberch and macallister to find them

    We have 3 really good cms for 2 spots there. Szoboszlai has to play.

    We have to get the balance and things will improve.

    right now i would put more money on Wirtz playing a 1-2 with Ekitike or Gakpo to get thru on goal than the 2 CM's but it is early days for the combo

    I hope he can get his first goal.contribution soon but theres plenty of gsmes after the international bullshit.

    Play this one and then we just hope we get a full squad back and we go for the long run of games.

    Ekitike hasn’t been called up for the French National team for these internationals

    I think there is clearly a quality player there, just isn't quite clicking atm, but it will before too long. He'll be a superstar

    Wirtz plays quick one touch football, that requires others to be on the same wavelength. It'll come
