Nah, he's good. Problem for me is that he's another finesse player. We have enough of those. Give me speed and power.

Might also want to think about this in the Olise debate

(not saying he isn't a good player)

A healthy perspective on the strength of the Prem and what other attacking newcomers have achieved!

If Florian Wirtz registers 14 goal involvements he’d be in the top five imported Premier League debutants of his age.

Have expectations been too high? And why has he struggled with the switch from the Bundesliga?

We really have to figure out the RB thing. If we continue to need the RCB to cover the wide earth at speed, then that puts a different valuation on Konaté. Of course, it's at odds with what we are asking him to do on the ball. Needs some joined-up thinking (which of course we are capable of!).

Zone 14--the central area right outside the opposition penalty box--tells a story. #LFC passes received in this area are down a little over 24% on a p90 basis since last season!

Okay, I think I understand this a little better now. It's really just a consequence of distance from the opponent's goal--and from your own. 🫡

So this is actually pretty interesting. Total pressures p90 are WAY down over last season (like almost 26%), but pressure regains p90 are the same (actually higher by a few decimal points) 😲
