Not Wilz! Liverpool bought "Bundesliga" and only started once in the Premier League

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost 1-2 to Chelsea away, which was their first Premier League defeat in the coaching period under Slott. The game was held at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, who played at home, scored three points with more proactive play, and Estewan finally completed the final victory in stoppage time. However, Wiltz, who came on as a substitute in Liverpool, failed to turn the situation around, and the outside world's doubts about Liverpool's transfer operations this summer are becoming increasingly strong.

The German international joined Anfield from Leverkusen for a transfer fee of £115 million this summer, but has not contributed any goals or assists in the Premier League and Champions League so far. According to Sofascore statistics, Wilz lost 6 of 8 matches in 45 minutes of playing time against Chelsea, creating only 1 chance, which shows that he struggled without the ball and did not give the team enough help when holding the ball.

Given that he is also from the Bundesliga and joins Liverpool with a high transfer fee, some fans compared him to Nabi Keita, who joined the team from RB Leipzig, but this comparison may not be fair. Liverpool signed Nabi Keita for £52.75 million in 2018, but he failed to fulfill his value.

Keita made 129 appearances in various competitions and contributed only 11 goals and 7 assists. This is far from his performance of scoring 17 goals and sending 15 assists in 71 games in Leipzig. He failed to continue his Bundesliga form to the Premier League.

Although Werz still has 0 goals and 0 assists, the key data he got on the court shows that he has not taken the old path of "Bundesliga" like Keita. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has been positive on the offensive end, but has not yet received any rewards from goals and assists.

According to statistics, Wilz's opportunities, expected assists (xA) and expected goals (xGOT) are ranked high among players in the same position, but the final output (goals and assists) has not yet been fulfilled. If he continues to maintain high-quality shots and create opportunities, goals and assists will eventually come, he will never be the "next Kaita".

For this reason, the German star who assisted Ekitic in his debut in Community Shield is on the right path and is expected to succeed in Anfield. However, another new player from Liverpool this summer who has introduced from the Bundesliga may be on the old path of Keita. As mentioned earlier, Keita is a failed Bundesliga transfer to Liverpool and failed to replicate its offensive performance in Germany in the Premier League.

Flynnpon contributed 30 goals and 44 assists in 190 games in Leverkusen, and served as a wingback for most of his time. His offensive data are extremely impressive. The official Bundesliga channel even asked earlier this year: "Is Flynnon the most offensive full-back in the world?" But there is no traditional wingback position in Slot's system, and Flynnon has to re-adapt to the traditional right-back role - a similar position to his early positioning for the Celtics, but the transformation is not smooth.

Currently, the 24-year-old Dutch international has fallen to third in the right-back appearance pick. He failed to make the appearance in the game against Chelsea, with Bradley starting and Sobosloy being able to play the right-back. This season, Flynnon only started once in the Premier League and did not get a chance to play twice. The Dutch Wings had a very low confrontation success rate in three Premier League appearances and did not create any opportunities for their teammates. In the Champions League match against Galatasaray, he got the opportunity to start the right winger, but handed over 0 goals and 0 assists, 9 confrontations and 7 losses.

Whether in the Champions League or the Premier League, these data indicate that Flynnon has not adapted to the new role and has not been able to deal with the intensity of confrontation in English football. If he can't turn the situation around in the next few months, the Dutch international is likely to become Anfield's next "Bundesliga counterfeit".
