He should be used to the Premier League now, and how physical it is and how strong it can be.I think he's a fantastic player, but this season has been really good one week and not so good the next. Everyone's seen what he's got and it's up to the manager to get the best out of him, but Wirtz has also got to get the best out of himself.He's got to realise that next season he's got to come back physically stronger to meet what the league gives you.



Defending isn't a natural part of his armoury, but you can always learn to do it better and make a nuisance of yourself.He was a bit disappointing in the match against United, but you only have to look at the marks that were dished out in the ECHO to see that he wasn't on his own in that respect.If you were to mark all of the players for their performances across the whole season there would be a lot of fives and there wouldn't be many eights. I know he's had some injury problems this year that have affected his kicking a bit but it feels like someone outside the club just trying to cause chaos.As for Jones, he's a local lad and a Liverpool fan.

That would save money that can be used elsewhere and he's good in the dressing room.It's important because we lack characters on the pitch at the moment. Whoever comes in, as well as being a really good player, we need a couple of really good characters as well.Season's end can't come sooner, but Salah comments are a concernMohamed Salah suggested in an interview last week that he had raised concerns about maintaining Liverpool's standards after he has left.Obviously, I am not privvy to what goes on in the dressing room, but for Salah to speak like that, you've got to sit him down and find out what he's on about.Liverpool have got three games left to play and the season can't end soon enough for me.
