Really really want him replaced. Hoping his contract extension was so we can get a fee for him.
Nah. Maybe the first seven or eight games. He’s been class for ages
This is also true.
He’s been poor the last three games after a good spell.
No he hasn’t. He was one of our best players at Sunderland.
A
Salah can do no wrong.
Wirtz is a expensive luxury that isn't worth it.
Aye, but Dreamy has very strict rules.

Neither of those statement reflect my views.
But they are pretty, pretty, pretty, prettyyyyyyy close.
Nah.
I praise Wirtz when he’s contributing like a 130m player should who has no history of success at this club.
Overall he’s been way below what was expected my many but is showing a lot of promise that he can be a cornerstone of success in the years to come.
That doesn’t change the fact he’s below Salah for goal contributions this year considering Salah’s limited games and drop off from last last season.
Hopefully Wirtz can get into a rhythm of a goal contribution a game til the end of the season.
Salah most likely will. If both can we could win silverware.
Haha, he was one of our best players against Sunderland. Even the Sunderland fans were saying he’s one of the best players they’ve seen play at the Stadium of Light.
He’s been excellent for some time now.
Worked his bollocks off in that draining game on Wednesday and looked tired yesterday.
Should have started on the bench yesterday imho, but still worked hard.

Just a magnificent player. Quality all around and just 22 years old. Love him.
Salah and Wirtz has the same amount of goals in the league btw. Salah with 1 pen as well, so 3 from open play.

I would have rested wirtz like you, but with jones in at right back it becomes obvious that wirtz would always start.
Ramsay at right back would have given him that chance, or even Nyoni in midfield. Slot hates the kids though
More to do with being under immense pressure and needing to stay in the FA Cup.
If we don’t go deep in the CL he’s going to need this comp you’d imagine.
If we don't qualify for the CL and only win the FA cup, i don't think thats enough to keep him
The pressure is to get top 5 and/or to win the CL. Of everything left, this is the least important (for me)
At this rate I think he stays as long as he gets CL even without a trophy.
Probably, and i don't like that. transition year or not we're spent an ungodly amount and made the squad weaker after winning the league. Hes refusing to use the whole squad and then bemoans injuries.
Hes not someone who copes with the pressure
We played well again yesterday. Perhaps there’s an overfocus on Slot right now and not enough emphasis on other factors…like our new players finding their feet and the group collectively getting through the worst of an underlying squad grief reaction.
With the champions league / FA Cup more in mind, regardless of Slot’s difficulties this season we have genuine match winners in the squad who, with some momentum and returning cohesive spirit, are well capable of pulling out big performances in big cup ties…and enjoying a run of form that gradually dissolves their identity away from the clusterfuck slump of this winter.
The relief of a return to form, the click of a new understanding amongst high potential new players and the distancing of a profound grief might just offer some late season momentum to make something of our season.

Key players are hitting form and most of the new lads are balling. Great to see.
