Follow the team: Slott changed the midfielder for Werz, and must decide whether to continue to let him play the core
TA's Liverpool team reporter James Pearce wrote an article talking about Liverpool's recent problems. The following is the compilation of the "Wilz and midfield imbalance".
James Pearce wrote that Galatasaray fans' fireworks outside the Istanbul team's hotel failed to wake Slott and his disciples in the early hours of Tuesday.
However, it is understandable to say that the former Feyenoord coach is thinking about how to inspire Florian Werz to sleep at night.
This player, who signed from Leverkusen for £116 million, has represented Liverpool in eight Premier League and Champions League games, with no goals or assists.
He failed to continue his compelling performance against Atletico Madrid.
Wilz failed to show any sharpness. The German international lost the ball 14 times and won only 4 times in 13 confrontations (31% success rate). After a pass mistake in the second half, he covered his face with both hands - his confidence had obviously suffered a heavy blow.
Please forget the reputation for a while: this is just a 22-year-old young man who has left home for the first time, adapting to a brand new country, language and competition style. He needs to be forgiven, but Slott must decide whether to insist on putting him in the core role. To bring Wilz into the roster, Slot changed the midfield dynamics that won the Premier League title last season for Liverpool.
The drag last season was always with Ryan Heraffenberg as the drag, with McAllister, Sobosloy and Curtis Jones choosing the second to the event ahead. Although Sobosloy has proven to be competent for the right back, this will weaken Liverpool's strength in the middle. McAllister's physical condition is equally worrying, and he hasn't played for the club for a full 90 minutes since April.
