An insider claims that Liverpool could look to use Florian Wirtz in a deeper role as he ages to take advantage of his passing and creative instincts. The report reads: “In discussions with newly appointed head coach Andoni Iraola, a long-term vision was laid out to Florian Wirtz in which, as the years pass, Florian could gradually operate deeper and deeper on the pitch.

“Interestingly, those closest to Florian, including his father and agent Hans-Joachim Wirtz, also believe that moving deeper could gradually remove him from the public pressure of constantly being measured through goals and assists, numbers that have never truly defined his game to begin with.” Wirtz is doing better than he gets credit for Is it true that Wirtz loses the ball a lot? Is it true that Wirtz provided 7 goals and 10 assists last season?

Is it true that it’s fair to expect more from Wirtz? There is a lot that many of us wish Wirtz would do differently, but he’s not your average player.
