Strange now it’s suddenly the coach’s fault if Wirtz doesn’t deliver.
How about tackling the obvious problems like Wirtz paying a lot of empty money because he’s not the player you thought he was – he’s not Musiala, Dembele, Mbappe or other players who can turn a game around on their own with their skills?
I said it a few months ago, Wirtz is not worth the money and he benefited from an overperforming team, because what the Leverkusen team did with Alonso as a team was a team effort and not an individual effort.
The obsession with Wirtz is really starting to get intense. In England and what’s going on on Twitter, people really only want one thing: Wirtz, come home. This is no longer celebratory. It’s just that he’s with Pool and has x-year contract, neither side can afford that.
Nobody who watches every England game can deny that something has been wrong with Pool for a while. Last season it felt like Pool had run out of steam since the thing against Newcastle in the Cocoa Cup. City were completely out of sorts because of Rodri’s injury, my Gunners were no opponent because of all the injuries (and were concentrating on CL), so they comfortably stumbled towards the title.
In the summer there is a total Fifa rotation, you buy your striker away from Frankfurt, but make the mistake of going one step further by simply wanting to fill a construction site that you have occupied with an even more expensive striker who had no preparation. Why? You give up Nunez (understandable), replace him with Etitike and get another one that’s even more expensive?
They give Luiz away without bringing in a replacement, as does Elliot, who is now completely empty in defense. Because you just want to play with Palace and don’t make their captain clear beforehand. Precisely because you bring in a striker for 130+ instead of stabilizing the defense. Konate is so injury prone, you need something clever as a replacement. They should have invested the money for Isak in Guehi (at the beginning of August), then things would probably go better. Especially since Salah is currently acting like a pensioner, he is definitely past his prime. He was already last February, and after that Pool went downhill.
Plus the tragedy surrounding Jota, I think that’s definitely one of the reasons why it’s not working.
PS Musi would have the same problems in England, even if he knows the UK from his teenage years. Just like that. But you will never get to know him because he will certainly not move to the island again, only City can afford the salary. And I hope that they finally get the verdict for their fraud.
Yes, I know I’m naive about City getting a penalty, but without the cheating they would never be this far ahead.
