He's a number ten that has to be behind the striker.
Eze is at his best when he's in the number ten role. He's one of the players that has gone to the club, you talk about creativity and making chances happen, he's not making it happen."Ex-Reds defender Jamie Carragher also expressed his concerns about Liverpool's current form, suggesting that Wirtz should be dropped from the starting line-up."There's a few problems there that he's got to fix, and it'll be really interesting how he goes about it because he's spent a lot of money on certain players," he said."But right now, I don't think the balance of the team is right, and the obvious one that stands out right now is Florian Wirtz.
He's just not at the races at all. He's got plenty of time to go as a Liverpool player."But right now, I think he needs to come out of the team, Liverpool get back to what they were last season, and then go from there and try and build some confidence and build some defensive solidity because right now, it just looks a mess."When quizzed about Liverpool's goal-scoring woes, Slot remarked: "For me it was a different loss to the one we had against Palace because there was a lot more to like, especially in the first half."In the second half it became harder and harder for us to create because first of all they were fighting with all they had and you have to give credit to them, and secondly the ball was hardly in play in the second half."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
