0 goals and 0 assists in 6 games! Wilz was demoted to substitute Slott: He is not suitable for the Premier League rhythm

On September 20, the 5th round of the Premier League ushered in the Merseyside derby, with Liverpool playing against Everton at home. In the end, Liverpool made a contribution with Heraffenberg's pass and shot, and new aid Ekitic won the third goal in the league, defeating his opponent 2-1 at home, and winning five consecutive victories at the beginning. It is worth mentioning that Liverpool's new player Wiltz was demoted to a substitute in this game after six consecutive starts in the summer window.

So far this season, Wilz has played 6 games for Liverpool in various competitions and has not contributed goals or assists yet. When the Reds played against Everton at the Merseyside derby, head coach Slott excluded him from the starter, and another high-priced new player, Isaac, was also on standby; instead he was Heraffenberg, McAllister and Sobosloy, who was in a higher position. In addition, Slot also voted for Ekitic, who was on the front line.

Since Liverpool has to play three games in a row within 7 days, the reason for Wiltz's rotation is generally considered to be physical or tactical reasons, but Slott hinted that the reason why the players missed the start was because they still had not adapted to the Premier League. Slotte explained:

"It's just like letting McAllister play as a substitute against Atletico Madrid in the last round. Three games are played in 7 days - Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday, which is the most intense period of the schedule. We have to manage Burnley and Atletico Madrid well. Today I think Sobosloy, who played those two games, is more adaptable to the pace of the Premier League than Wilz who just came from Germany, so it's just because of too many considerations in a short period of time. I believe he will play, but he won't start."

Wilz came on as a substitute in the 61st minute. In the 71st minute, Liverpool made a quick counterattack, Salah made a wonderful pass, and after receiving the ball, Werz adjusted too much in the penalty area, and the ball was finally shoveled out of the penalty area by the Everton player who returned to defense. In the 81st minute, Werz made a tactical foul after making a pass, and received a yellow card. Statistics show that Wilz made a 29-minute appearance, failed in two attempts, failed in all people, failed in five ground scrambles, lost the ball 3 times, got beaten once, got 1 yellow card, and performed in average.

Wilz joined Liverpool this summer with a total price of 136 million euros, and has started 7 games so far. Except for the Community Shield who assisted Ekilik to score 1 goal, he scored 0 goals and 0 assists in the remaining 6 games. In this derby against Everton, Wilz also sat on the bench for the first time. It can be seen that Slott's patience with him was also exhausted. Former Liverpool player Jason McCartill believes that Wilz does not currently have the ability to start in the Premier League game with real swords and guns.
