Florian WIRTZ: 2025/26

How was the performance of Florian Wirtz in the match at FA Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion?

Alright but quiet. Didn’t really influence the game as he can. In moments in that first half I forgot he was on the pitch. Though he also had a different midfield behind him.

Slot did something interesting yesterday with Jones at RB, but then by resting Gravenberch, we had Szobo as the RCM pivot (but pressing forward basically in line with Flo) and Mac staying as the deepest at LCM.

I didn’t like that combination too much, we didn’t have enough control and possession. Feared Mac could end up being isolated, but to be fair Brighton didn’t really capitalize on the spaces we left.

It meant Flo had to drop more than in previous games, I was looking at our average positions at HT as I always do and he was pretty deep.

hes wonderful to watch, even when hes having a quiet game…

a while back i said ( in not as many words) he needed to start to trouble the statsman…which he is now regularily doing, so the od game where he doesnt, hes still pulling people all over the joint and leaving them in tatters…

its a very special player that when you watch a game, everyone else on the ball seems a bit…bland/boring… not many players have that…

like watch Ronaldinho, or Henry back in the day… it was 21 players running around and you just wanted to see what Ronnie did when he got the ball…everything else was just annoying…

bare in mind im not suggesting hes hit peak Henry/Ronaldinho levels

It made me c**

His dad certainly said that… though in German.

If only Luis Diaz’s dad was like Flo’s

Back issue according to Slot.

Probably because he had to carry the team on his own for the last few weeks :grimacing:

Hopefully it’s not like Coutinho, poor lad was never the same after.

We’ll just wait and see how he is and not jump to any conclusions.
But he doesn’t seem to be feeling unwell.

He looked a bit more buffed up from the picture?

His hand is enormous :rofl:.
