Nonsense. Who was the referee and how experienced were they? Send a player off from each side and get a grip of the situation. Spectators lose out because of this. Awful

[Fraser Watson @FraserSport1]

Another WRU game abandoned early this weekend, this time Milford v Haverfordwest.

Can't judge ref's call as wasn't there myself but this is happening more and more frequently.

What's the issue? Player/fan behaviour, overly fussy officiating, or both? Interested in views.

Oh my!

How is the first time we’ve ever seen this unbelievable volley from Ivor Allchurch at the 1958 World Cup!?

Square peg in a round hole. You have to set up your whole team to play to his strengths which at the moment isn’t happening nor likely to. Slot has some thinking to do

🔍 The mystery of Florian Wirtz is the mystery of elite football itself

I spent the summer watching Florian Wirtz with the sort of certainty that only hindsight can now ridicule. Frame after frame convinced me he’d light a fuse in this Liverpool team from his first touch. He hasn’t. And that truth should humble anyone who thinks they truly understand this game.

Wirtz hasn’t failed, but he hasn’t exploded either. He’s felt his way in, rather than announced himself. The touches are there. The movement is intelligent. He works. But too often he looks like he’s playing to someone else’s tune, and not yet writing his own. In this brutal league, full of midfielders who maul and press like pit bulls, being tentative costs you the second you blink.

There’s a temptation to measure players by fee, by hype, by what we wanted them to be. But Wirtz is learning on the fly in a system still knitting itself together. He’s not playing with a fully functional Salah or Isak yet. He’s not surrounded by rhythm or certainty. Liverpool have reinvented themselves again and are asking a 21-year-old, adapting to a new country, to find clarity in a storm.

He will. It might not be this month. Might not even be before Christmas. But it’s coming. You can see it in flashes, in the way he holds space, in how defenders begin to backtrack before he even moves. Confidence will come. Partnerships will settle. And when they do, this lad will go from stoppable to unstoppable in the blink of an eye.

If you think you know exactly how and when that happens, then, just like me, you don’t understand elite football. The great players aren’t microwave-ready. Some need time to simmer. And when they do, they last. Wirtz is one of them. You can feel it. The rest is noise.

David Moyes suggested if it was Liverpool that were 2-1 down there would have been more than three minutes of added time 👀

@FraserSport1 Irrelevant final now. Both teams could have completely different line ups by next season? Have to revert to an earlier date for the final surely?
