i like wirtz a lot but at the same time don't mind epl teams getting fleeced
I've watched Liverpool a few times. I don't get the Wirtz hate. I've seen him make a lot of passes to advance the attack, create chances for teammates where they fail to score, and get a few good chances himself.
I thought he was one of their better players vs Galatasaray and all the EPL fans are shitting on him for not scoring a goal or assist.
If anything, I need to see their midfielders get him the ball more.
I think the coaching in the EPL is really poor overall. Not to discredit Arne Slot, but he had everything in place in terms of putting together a lineup last year, and they blew it all up for no reason. Now he has to figure out how all the pieces fit together, which is not an easy fit, and he lost that foundation and stability he had last year. They badly miss Diaz on the left, they're playing midfielders at RB, they signed Frimpong and don't know how to use him, and the solution is just blame everything on Wirtz.
EDIT - here's a video of his touches throughout the game..... Liverpool & EPL fans are saying he sucks and was one of the worst players on the pitch. They need to stop playing fantasy football just looking at his goals/assists and watch the game.
