Liverpool star shines against Brentford but leaves Iraola with issue
Story updated
The story in brief
24-second readLiverpool's win at Brentford was reported by Anfield Index, citing BBC Football, with Florian Wirtz creating nine chances and being influential despite Liverpool's structural uncertainty with him in the team.
Wirtz's performance was statistically impressive, but he lost possession 19 times and won only one of nine duels, raising concerns about Liverpool's tactical balance with him as a number 10.
Andoni Iraola faces a tactical challenge to balance Wirtz's creativity with defensive stability, with suggestions to adjust the team's shape, such as using three midfielders, to address the issue.
