Arne Slot Advised on Wirtz’s Role…
Former Liverpool star Steve Nicol suggests Arne Slot should shake things up and switch Florian Wirtz’s position after a not-so-flashy start to the Premier League season. Wirtz dazzled in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace but was as quiet as a mime artist during a library tour in victories over Bournemouth and Newcastle. With no goals or assists, Slot’s hoping to get the Wirtz back in the action, but Nicol’s idea of putting him wide might just save the day—or at least the backline!
Arne Slot faces a pickle—how to jazz up Wirtz’s role without getting tomatoes thrown his way? You see, dropping Gakpo would be like tossing out the last donut at a police station! But with Wirtz’s flow a bit like a tap running dry, Liverpool seems about as stable as a jelly in an earthquake. Despite some harsh whispers about this pricey signing, Slot admitted his team needs more balance—and quickly. On the upside, they did limit Newcastle’s counter-sneakiness with Gravenberch on board. But Alan Shearer said having Wirtz is like trying to waltz in flip-flops—Liverpool looks a tad offbeat!
