@el_mansfield I 100% agree, the context matters. But in Wirtz’s case, we all saw his 9 KP, and the last 60 games of his Liverpool career.
He’s been absolutely abysmal. Can he turn it around? Maybe. But those 9 KP yesterday were not a ‘corner being turned’ imo, which many claimed them to be.
@yashtalksfooty I was almost about to semi agree with you, until I read your last line:
“Can we not just say we need more of these games and move on”
If a game like today is your standard for Florian Wirtz, that’s fine. It was a bang average performance for a £100m asset, give me a break lol
@GCIIMessi Is it easier to say that out of nine chance creating actions, Wirtz failed to create a single big chance?
Or that the assist he got required Munoz to run 40 yards, Ronaldo chop and curl his finish into the net?
Or is it easier to wank yourself silly to 9 League 2 level passes?
@Origi_szn@R5Ibrahim I think you’re just misunderstanding here, nobody is using xA in a vacuum, everyone knows how it works.
The point is that we all saw his 9 key passes and they were arse.
xA doesn’t always illustrate whether key passes are shit or not; in this case, it did.

@Z9Priv_ He’s genuinely already surpassed Nunez as the worst big money flop in Liverpool’s modern history since Klopp came, and there’s nothing he could do to reverse that barring a PFA level season.
Can he even surpass Naby Keita?
@kimmoFC@BeanymanSports@adamkeys_ I don’t see why headlines like this are wrong or unethical unless the article is behind a paywall.
Any person who would react to this headline alone, without watching the clip, is a moron. The context is literally right there.
@djokerprime The way that Novak fans have to act like Federer didn’t give him pure belt to arse for the first half of their careers kills me.
And would have given him even more belt to cheeks, if young Novak was as good as older Fed was and didn’t dodge early meetings.
@TobyEvenden Igy, but both versions of Salah only really dropped off in like March/April.
24/25 he won Feb POTM, and 21/22 he was great for a little after AFCON.
Argument probs is that 24/25 Salah only dropped off when the PL was already won, while 21/22 the games still mattered.
@wey_know@BarclayCard18 Hands down.
- A Big 3 member who won 2 Slams that same year,
- A Wawrinka who won a hardcourt Slam just months before,
- One of the Tour’s strongest five-set demons in five sets,
- Top 10 player of the Big 3 Era in Berdych
+ a huge server in Zverev, for good measure. Nuts run.
@smellynerpa@aliceadamee Can’t even begin to describe how damaging it is to deny Jewish allies the chance to change their views, when the crime in question is signing a letter of support after one of the worst atrocities inflicted on Jewish people in modern history. Emotions were clearly high.
@smellynerpa@aliceadamee Who cares? He’s clearly shown that same support for Palestine when their people went through atrocities, after he signed the letter.
@K453535@Z9Priv_ Wirtz and Ekitike were platformed to the detriment of everyone else last year, and only Heki performed.
Regardless, he’s looked maybe worse than ever this season under Iraola.
