You’re welcome! I can’t escape the feeling I’m jinxing all of them, though…

Not true. You create these threads every season and only occasionally we have some forgettable ones.
I’ve been very pleased with what I’ve seen from Wirtz. I was a bit concerned that he’d impacted negatively by the less-possession-based, more direct system Iraola is bringing. But he looks like he’s adapted to it and it’ll help him become more aggressive in the final third.

I want to see a lot more cutting edge from him. Quick feet to get away from markers, turning forward not just bouncing it back to the midfielders, and especially clever passing to create chances. That vision most players don´t have. Thats what we bought him for.
He has this in his locker but we haven´t seen it for a while I think. Confidence dipped near the end of the season for sure. Big season for him. Iraola being Spanish and growing up with a lot of players like this may likely help. He will know all about his talents.
