A bit of light-hearted fun there, but seriouslyā¦
Could their trousers be any baggier?

Itās called youngsters fashion, the tight jeans will be back in about a decade

At least his trousers cover his pants. 
Yeah, it was a real good performance from Flo tonight. Probably overshadowed by the sheer brilliance of Grav as well as captain Virgtastic coming to the rescue but he really showed his quality on the ball and ought to have had 2 assists.
Finds the space, receives the ball in said space, glides about the pitch and used his body superbly well to get between man and ball. We saw tonight what happens when we look for him and give him the ball, more please.

Another snippet from Eddie Gibbsā¦ Canāt argue with this
I spent the summer watching Florian Wirtz with the sort of certainty that only hindsight can now ridicule. Frame after frame convinced me heād light a fuse in this Liverpool team from his first touch. He hasnāt. And that truth should humble anyone who thinks they truly understand this game.
Wirtz hasnāt failed, but he hasnāt exploded either. Heās felt his way in, rather than announced himself. The touches are there. The movement is intelligent. He works. But too often he looks like heās playing to someone elseās tune, and not yet writing his own. In this brutal league, full of midfielders who maul and press like pit bulls, being tentative costs you the second you blink.
Thereās a temptation to measure players by fee, by hype, by what we wanted them to be. But Wirtz is learning on the fly in a system still knitting itself together. Heās not playing with a fully functional Salah or Isak yet. Heās not surrounded by rhythm or certainty. Liverpool have reinvented themselves again and are asking a 21-year-old, adapting to a new country, to find clarity in a storm.
He will. It might not be this month. Might not even be before Christmas. But itās coming. You can see it in flashes, in the way he holds space, in how defenders begin to backtrack before he even moves. Confidence will come. Partnerships will settle. And when they do, this lad will go from stoppable to unstoppable in the blink of an eye.
If you think you know exactly how and when that happens, then, just like me, you donāt understand elite football. The great players arenāt microwave-ready. Some need time to simmer. And when they do, they last. Wirtz is one of them. You can feel it. The rest is noise.
We signed Wirtz to play between the lines, take the ball on the half turn and find clever passes.
Nobody is finding him in those pockets of space. Dom and Grav are having good seasons but they are not good passers of the ball and donāt move it forward quickly enough. Macca has obviously been very poor so far. The less said about Konate, Bradley and Frimpong the better.
He could have been better, but itās a systematic issue as much as anything individual. Give him the ball, early.
I also find it strange that Wirtz somehow elects to pass the ball sideways rather than forward at the final third..
To pass forward, he needs someone to pass to.
Gakpo and Salah have been stood on the touchlines waiting for the ball to feet.
Salah gave it a rest for 15 minutes against Atletico and ran the game. No idea why we persist with having him so wide.
Slotās management of him so far has been questionable to say the least. Taken him off numerous times when heās managed to figure the game out and started to massively influence the play and now has shifted the position heās operating in.
Maybe he has run over Slotās cat!
I thought in the 1st game that he was on the pitch with Isak it looked like there was some chemistry between them and I thought that Isak would offer the movement for Wirtz.
However, the last few times they have been on the pitch together, no one has got the ball to Wirtz for him to feed Isak.
I do feel we need to get the ball to Wirtz more, get him involved more then play off him with lots of movement, watching him he is always on the move and making himself open for a pass and the pass doesnāt come.
I thought that too early on however I was really disappointed with what I saw from him vs Gala as the game went on. I do think that he needs to be give a single clear understanding of where heās playing to begin with and ultimately operating between the lines/at the tip of a diamond 4 with two central strikers not wide forwards ahead of him would be best. Mo can come off the bench and help stretch the game later. Iām not sure if Hugo and Alex shoudl be playing together at this point but one could start with either Cody or Fede alongside.
Macca is also part of the problem and hopefully Arne persists with Curtis and Dom instead for the next few matches.
