I think Florian Wirtz could explode under Iraola, and Kroupi’s numbers from last season show exactly why.

Same position. Completely different attacking output.

The numbers suggest Iraola could unlock a side of Wirtz we barely saw under Slot. 🧵

@ElBrethers Why is it fine for a club to run a contract down when they’ve decided they don’t want someone, but a betrayal when a player does the same? That’s the bit nobody answers.

And in the ground, the anger is nowhere near what it looks like online. If the deal’s there, you do it.

@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC Chelsea are going to be dangerous this season, could be the smartest signing they make

For the first time in god knows how long we get a decent champions league draw

@TheAnfieldTalk A CM and a RB

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

@BIGREDLFC_ Exactly my thoughts mate, but optimism and positivity unfortunately doesn’t get clicks does it 🤣🤣 me too haha!

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

I agree, don’t like Rio on the right at all. I’m extremely confident in the manager and I think by Christmas the whole narrative will have changed, we are still good enough to pick up results without being our best. Very confident for the weekend, don’t think Forest looked great against Leeds. I will be there so always have to be hopeful!

@Joshua_MCI I’ve never seen so many things wrong with just one tweet 🤣🤣

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

@AndyGni Oh yes both I don’t mind 😂 yep I have a weird feeling we are going to go for him very very last minute

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

I sincerely hope it’s all mind games with Brighton but doubt it.

I’m sorry 60m for a 28 year old Sarr but won’t go to 80m for a 21 year old Minteh???

Make it make sense

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

@QTalksFtbl Not sure if it’s a hot take or obscure but I feel like the only one that makes sense is Kubo

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

Yes it’s late, yes I’d prefer business to be done earlier in the window but sign barcola minteh and camara and bloody hell what a window that turns out to be! Some big gaps addressed not all but a good few!

@Corballyred Manager plays with two 8’s in a double pivot if you want a 6 you neee a different manager

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

One option I’m not seeing people mention and I’m not saying it’s long term but why not play Araujo RB and Frimpong RW??

Iraola usually has one fullback more defensive than the other, Frimpong definitely more of a winger than a full back and Araujo will be more solid

Never been over a transfer as much as I am with Barcola

@dominict47 @Pablotommo_ Gakpo somehow has entered the conversation and I don’t particularly disagree with you on Gakpo but you can have more of the ball which could give you better numbers but you don’t do anything with it, Grav for example more touches and better pass completion but he struggled

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

@dominict47 @Pablotommo_ You can have less of the ball and still be creative, if Rio had 10 touches and 9 were shots on target and created 1 big chance with the other that’s better than Gakpo’s 50 touches, you still have to get on the ball and take risks and want to make things happen

[FrontoftheKop @FrontoftheKop]

@dominict47 @Pablotommo_ I’d argue that his engine that you said he has helps him press aggressively too and his numbers for progressing the ball which I’ve already shared prove he does that pretty well too, can also still be coached and improve on things too
