In his first season at the club, Florian Wirtz has played a mixed bag of football, ranging from ineffective to electric, but one way or another, it’s clear he will succeed at Liverpool. And Steven Gerrard believes he has the answer.

“When he moves out left, it suits the team at the moment a lot better, but I actually think his best position will be eventually more central in a number 10, but Liverpool need more powerful players around him to do that.” Liverpool can only solve this problem with transfers Liverpool need a natural no.6.

Gravenberch is best when he has space to turn and run into, but using him as the fulcrum in midfield introduces too many issues. His all-action style means he constantly invites the press, and as good as he is at evading it, it’s not the most efficient way to play in that role.
