Where do you stand on Florian Wirtz?

flomaepioh5d ago

My Take is, why is it that Flo always on the spotlight? remember what Jurgen Klopp, the one making LFC believe again said, people who love and know the sport will agree that Flo performs alright! I would only take what Jurgen says as he is the one making me believe again.

About time we sold Wirtz while we can still get money for him, he is atrocious, I will personally buy the plane ticket back to Germany for him to join Bayern Munich, he's had plenty of time to redeem himself, also take Kerkez and Frimpong out the door with him in January.

Total flop. Got a free ride from the press until the start of this season.

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I agree with Jamie Carragher’s verdict. He’s just not that good

james.brooke1w ago

Really, really want to see him do well but I’ve been losing patience with him for a while. It has to be a confidence issue, because there is no other reason for consistently failing to make simple passes and do the basics right. He works hard but is so sloppy on the ball. The best way to describe him as that he plays as if the scoreline doesn’t matter

johnverrall111w ago

Still not exactly sure what his biggest strength is. Seems to lack the physicality to really make a success of himself in the Prem

peter.lynch1w ago

Honestly one of the most frustrating situations ever! I thought he would learn that he doesn’t have as much time in the Prem, as well as the need to be more physical. But confidence is playing a part too, and I think if he gets a handful of goals and assists then he’ll start flying

freddie1w ago

I’m firmly in the camp of stick by him! 1. We have no one else. But 2. He hasn’t been as bad as people say. Yes, he needs to do more, but he has also been doing that just been unlucky without getting goals or assists

aaditya.krishnamurthy1w ago

It’s always going to be difficult to turn around after a tough season - but he has to have a little grit between his teeth to grab the situation by the horns and turns things around - that doesn’t mean force it, but so the small stuff right all the time and the big passes and shots will comen

jordan.ellis1w ago

He’s got to improve, no doubt it. At the same time, so have a lot of people around him. He’s becoming the scapegoat for a team that has been underperforming sinc before he even arrived. This all started at the end of Slots title winning season.

lrandall12101w ago

I think he’s massively overrated. He’s no doubt got the massive talent, but he just doesn’t look up to it

jamie.theodosi1w ago

I think it’s just a typical example of the premier league showing it’s the best league in the world. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player because he hasn’t hit the same heights he did in the German league.

jameslloyd14.jl1w ago

He’s just not good, Liverpool are better off without him. How some of their fans are willing to talk down on Szoboszlai to defend him boggles the mind

dakir.thanveer1w ago

Wirtz is still playing in a dysfunctional attack. I believe he will be a great asset when things start clicking under Iraola. Wirtz was never a flashy player even in the Bundesliga, so Prem fans are never going to be happy with him. Szoboszlai gets away with worse performances sometimes

josh.barker1w ago

He’s a fine player but the fee is the biggest problem. Sign him for £40m and nobody pays attention but he’ll never justify that price-tag

david.comerford1w ago

Nowhere near justified the fee but in Liverpool's defence, it was only a matter of time before a heavyweight team paid 100m+ for him. Sometimes transfers just don't work out. The fee was fair in the context of what he did in Germany

tom.procter1w ago

I was so excited to watch this guy in the PL. Sure he’s had good games here and there, but nowhere near as many as he should have for the money that was paid. Feels like he just doesn’t really suit the league

callum_boyle1w ago

You don’t become a bad player overnight but where he struggles is that he isn’t the main man. Even with the fee paid, Isak, VVD etc are all the bigger names. He gets far too much slack though and I think he will come good

dantowen819511w ago

He’s just not got it - doesn’t have the speed, either physically or mentally. Far too weak in both departments as well. Clearly a talented footballer but, then again, so was Sancho and Kagawa

markmarston1w ago

He’s a good player and that’s where it ends. Probably a great player in a different league where different attributes are held in higher regard and more important. He’s a £40m player in the PL but probably a £100m player in Spain or Germany

george.patten1w ago

I think he’s a quality player that just isn’t suited to the prem. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to a Bayern or Barca and become one of the best in the world

seanfisher1w ago

For £116m (and yes, the fee matters.) he’s been terrible. Absolutely terrible. There’s no avoiding it 🤷🏻‍♂️

martin.crawford1w ago

Suffering from the price tag and just not being in a very functional team. Anyone who pretends not to see how much ability he has is being disingenuous

charlesjones1w ago

There are a few words I don’t think I can post on this platform that I’d use to describe Wirtz. Useless useless player.

eoin1w ago

Im sick of the narrative now. Yeah, he hasnt been good enough. Also, he arrived at Liverpool at the worst possible time with all that happened last year. If salah, gakpo, isak were in form, he would have had double digit assists in his first season. Its not good enough right now, no doubt. But we shouldnt let rival fans get to decide if Hes a flop.
