His recent comments about opponents using low blocks/long balls, and not knowing yet how to counter that, are a bit worrying. I mean it's not exactly a revolutionary tactic, especially in this league. I would expect more than a 'waddya gonna do' shrug in response.
Agree on Mac, just thinking longer term when all are fit. May be a bit too soon to rule Wirtz out of attacking midfield role too but we need that control again that last season's midfield gave us. Dom gave us a lot defensively from the 8 position.
Wirtz probably needs to move into front 3 based on evidence so far. Maybe as false 9, with Salah, Isak/Eki coming in in front from right and left. Grav, Dom and Mac as midfield three, with Mac and Grav sitting deepest.
Not sure yet we have enough of a threat down our left. Kerkez still to prove he's an attacking force. Gakpo sometimes effective, and maybe Ekitike can play there, but we miss Diaz and his work rate.
