You would’ve had a problem if we dropped points. We kept the initiative with Everton with that sub.

You're working on hypotheticals, there are thousands of those. The reality is we didn't drop points and never looked likely to.
Im sure he could have played a full 90 in one of them, if he didn't play the other 90 across two. It'll be about managing minutes across games to get the most out of them, not sure he'll play 90 minutes very often, now that we have Isak, neither of them will.
I agree with that as Ekitike excels at pressing the opposition and had a great game. But I also believe one of the main reasons we walked the league last year was our incredible injury record so I fully trust the physio team when it comes to managing players' minutes
Got to say numerous commentators / pundits have mentioned the fatigue was obvious in the second half. Maybe we shouldn't be so hard on some of our players for the drop off.
Crouchy saying he can deffo see Ekitike (who he says some of his best work has been from there) or Isak on the left with one centre.

Fuck me he better end up better than Lallana.
Managing our players minutes to avoid injuries while giving our star striker minutes to get him up to speed is a negative how?
Every other topish side has a lot of injuries already!

To those of you complaining about what might have happened if other stuff had taken place, but didn't:
IF we'd won every game 8-0 to this point, and Wirtz was looking like prime KDB, and everybody was fit, and Ali hadn't had to make a single save yet, all season.... What would you all complain about then?
The incorrect shad of red on the jersey? The speed of the bus coming into Anfield? The angle of the TV camera?

I think this is the key point regarding Wirtz along with just how fast spaces get closed. His game is a lot about precision. This is why I think it will take him more time, although this is all hindsight on my part. I thought he would get up to speed faster.
I wouldn't. Results over excitement for me, every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I didn't TBH, if only because we're integrating so many newbies at once, individual quality notwithstanding. That said, I'm confident his game will adapt and there's no way we'd have spent all that moolah on him if the backroom boys didn't think so too.
