The chance for Bradley vs gala was a good bit of play from Wirtz. That came from when he drifted left, which seems to be where his better moments in a Liverpool shirt have been
You can see that Wirtz has quality. For me, he hasn’t adjusted yet to the speed or physicality of the PL. it takes some players time. Some players can’t step up. Wirtz has quality, that plain to see - I think he’ll get there.
So you cant name any specific instances yet you then insult someone by saying you watch football and they dont. Again. Name 3 chances so we can go look at how he's done and all see.
Of course. Very sensible view and imo on the money. I've said so from the off but some are getting all defensive because he wears red so you cant even look at what he is doing and say a word without this reaction. He cant just keep on playing form the start and sturggl8ng as it hurts his confidence. My view is thst a good intense 30minute burst agaisnt a more tired opponent can help more than a 60minite struggle.
Ah, the days when the goalscorer held an arm up in celebration and was rewarded with a brisk handshake and perhaps an arm round the shoulder rather than the attempted group sodomy of today.
The trouble is Macca isn't up to full speed either,think midfield is going to struggle again against Chavs.
Until he gets used to the league, I think Wirtz could be a good impact sub, to come on with a burst of energy that we've needed in most games so far.
Again, I don't think anyone is in denial, it's just that they are considering a different solution to yours. I've never seen a player improved by not playing - unless they're unfit or knackered and just need a rest. Gomez's disastrous performance recently being a case in point. Sometimes a player needs to be dropped to help the team, but from his personal point of view it's better to keep playing. He needs to mould himself to his team and them to him. Slot has to decide what is best for the team. Perhaps managing Wirtz's minutes might help or might hinder, we can't tell from the limited amount we see.
30 mins is not preventing him from playing. Struggling through 60mins and doing very little is not really helping anything either.
Robbo didn’t get a look in until he was ready. I can remember a few of us, myself included, bemoaning the fact that he wasn’t playing more regularly. Klopp was right, obviously reality is that most of us are too emotionally involved to make decisions about who should play and when subs should happen, especially when we don’t watch the players train and look at all of the data and know who’s carrying knocks….i could go on…. I think I’ll just support Slot and bemoan his decisions in equal measure. Makes life easier being a normal fan
Chelsea have sanchez in goal amd are struggling to find a cb they have fernandes (never looks fit imo) amd caicedo but no Palmer in midfield. Thry have Pedro who takes a pen but doesn't worry me as a player at all. If we played like.we did v atletico we would win. Why we played like we did.for 60mins v atletico and then turned in 2 very poor showings I dont know. We need a big performance at home
Liverpool: Mamardashvili, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Bradley, Gakpo, Gravenberch. Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Wirtz, Chiesa, Jones, Ekitike, Robertson, Frimpong.
