If he surpasses King Kenny as the greatest of all times , you will still come on an in match thread and declare him as useless. I can’t help you there mate.
This is utterly crazy… Dare I say he has been let down by others
Wirtz, in fact, has been creating chances when he has been involved. He has created more chances per 90 minutes than any other player in the division who has played more than 200 minutes.
I didn’t notice it until long after the game, when I watched the match vlog from the away end perspective. It didn’t come across that way on TV. It was really nice to see how a new team chemistry is developing step by step and how everyone can empathize with Florian’s relief.
He needed that. I didn’t see that on tv but it makes sense now, because after that goal went in he played with a swagger I hadn’t seen since his Leverkusen days. Long may it continue.
But they aren’t a closed-knit group yet by any means. When Ekitike got the equalizer, he wheeled off to celebrate on his own, and no team-mate joined him. They were celebrating elsewhere on the pitch, and he went back to the center circle on his own.
You might be right on that point, but it could also have had something to do with letting Ekitike acknowledge the home crowd on his own without too much ‘in yer face’ jubilation
I saw this during the game yesterday and was so happy with this move. We have missed it and Wirtz is one of the few players who has the creativity, passing range and skill to do this. None of these gets captured in Goals/ Assists stats.
I was also very displeased with the commentators (Townsend/ Taylor I think) that finally Wirtz having a good game or so. FFS he’s been really good for so many games unless you believe some media or twitter bullshit. It’s a pity people can’t see this or don’t want to see this even now.
