All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook page"I thought when he scored a couple of goals, he'll come good," said the ex-Wales international. "He's involved in a lot of intricate moves around the box."He still looks a bit lightweight on the pitch, and if you think back to Jurgen Klopp's era when (Philippe) Coutinho used to play as the third midfielder, Liverpool used to score more goals and let more in."He then got rid of Coutinho and played a midfield of (James) Milner, (Jordan) Henderson, Fabinho or (Gini) Wijnaldum.



They decreased the amount of goals they conceded and scored more."Wirtz, it's a problem because if you play him on the left, he's not going to run back. He tries, but he cannot stay with his man, when you're away from home and struggling."If you play him at number 10, he's got to produce, and he's not really produced.

We can see that he's talented, and fingers crossed he might come good next season."Wirtz will be hoping he is integral as Liverpool face a big 11 days starting with Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City, which is followed by a two-legged Champions League last-eight clash against Paris Saint-Germain that sandwiches an Premier League clash at home to Fulham.And speaking to Pariurix.com, Saunders said: “One week can be crucial for Slot. You can call it make it or break it for Arne Slot.“One thing I can say for sure, and I hope Arne Slot already knows this, but the Liverpool fans won't accept the way they are playing.
