Love this positivity. With these kind of players, in this kind of form we absolutely should be able to put in a statement performance. (Hope you haven't put the mockers on them and they stay fit)
Unfortunately i don't think it'll be the kind of statement we hoped we'd be making halfway through our title defence...
But back to your positivity. It's beautiful what these guys can pull off, so let's hope Arsenal or even Leeds is the day we start to show it for 90, and we get defensively more solid - for the full 90. Needs Slot and the coaching team to give them the structure and instructions to unlock it though.
Wirtz got his first MoM points in late October and was still on 2 points on Nov 5. He’s on the brink of jumping to third on the list and our results have mirrored his climb up the table.
He seems to be steadily progressing with almost every match. It that continues, he really could lead us to great things in coming years.
His fitness still needs to improve to still be sharp after 70 minutes, but it is worth noting that he still is always in top 3 distance covered and number of sprints, even when he comes off early. So, he does as much in 70 minutes as others, including the likes of Szobo, over 90 minutes.

In fairness he’s really Improving. Did well Sat.
That's a pity - he speaks highly of you. 😉
Now he's kicking into gear (1 goal 2 Assists in the last 4 - plus the deflected goal plus is it 3 MotM in the Last 4?) he's looking the player we expected and were desperate for. A nice look here (1st half is about his form/stats and 2nd half about what's to come).

if he has an injury concern, don't play him.
he was horrible yesterday - and i'd rather have rio or even gakpo (there I said it) than a half fit and chickening out of tackles wirtz

He is not going to make it here if he is not going to apply himself fully to the cause. I will sit him down and get him to watch videos of Bradley playing. That is the minimum commitment i would expect. It is not good enough to just tip toe around relying on a "good football IQ", whatever the fuck that means.
You talking about Wirtz?
Yup.
"Study Bradley, son, see how he plays, see how he picks up injuries every 6 weeks. Let that be your role model"
If Brentford had have signed him in the summer for £20M, and you'd have seen what he's delivered so far, would you take a chance on him? How much?
(Bear in mind, there's whoppers on here lining up to give him MOTM every week for farting).
Here's my answer - No I wouldn't. £0M.

I don´t think he was horrible, but I wasn´t surprised that he´s carrying something.
I think he's... Ok. But for some reason he's a little pointless in a pointless team mostly crafted by injury and safety in equal measure, that has no speed for a threat behind and no one to play off in the box.
He needs runners around him, and most of our players think running is just for people at the Olympics.
Isn't he playing in a farmers league?
Yeah. He isn't.
