Is Liverpool's System HURTING Florian Wirtz?

Is Florian Wirtz struggling—or is Liverpool's system making his job unnecessarily difficult?

Gags Tandon and Eddie Gibbs examine Andoni Iraola's public backing of Wirtz and question whether Liverpool are asking too much of their number ten. With Wirtz leading the press, dropping towards midfield and trying to connect with Alexander Isak, the discussion centres on the enormous spaces appearing between Liverpool's midfield and attack.

Could Wirtz thrive by dropping deeper between the lines? Does Isak need to contribute more to Liverpool's press? And could using a more aggressive pressing forward completely change Wirtz's role?

The conversation also turns to Bradley Barcola and why the Bournemouth fixture could provide both players with the space they need to finally explode.
