Florian Wirtz (Liverpool)
October 2025
Andy Robertson defended Wirtz’s muted league start, highlighting two Champions League assists and the team’s disrupted rhythm amid injuries. He predicts improvement as Slot integrates Wirtz’s creativity with clearer spacing and quicker connections to Alexander Isak. Liverpool’s priorities: cleaner set-piece defending, sharper counter-press, and giving Wirtz consistent zones between lines to lift chance creation while Salah’s role is carefully re-optimized.
