Florian Wirtz’s arrival at Liverpool was met with huge anticipation, with many believing that the German playmaker would become a cornerstone of Arne Slot’s new-look system.
Having shone consistently in the Bundesliga, Wirtz brought with him the reputation of a creative force, capable of dictating play between the lines and providing the cutting edge in advanced areas.
His technical ability, vision, and flair suggested he could quickly adapt to the Premier League and lift Liverpool’s attacking game to another level.
In the opening matches of the 2025/2026 campaign, his impact has been more muted than expected.
While the potential is clearly evident, Florian Wirtz has struggled to fully assert himself within Slot’s tactical framework.
Whether through positioning, patterns of build-up, or the fluid rotations demanded by the Dutch coach, he has not yet consistently influenced matches in the way many anticipated.
The early data from his first six appearances highlight both his involvement and the areas where his influence has been restricted, painting a picture of a player still adjusting to a new footballing environment.
In this Florian Wirtz data analysis report, we will examine Florian Wirtz’s performances to date at Anfield, assessing why his integration has not yet yielded the brilliance expected, and considering whether there are early indicators that he can rediscover his form and fulfil the role envisioned for him.
After nearly six rounds in the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign, many tactical battles and ideas have stood out, providing a chance for coaches, analysts, and fans around the world to explore and learn new ideas or view old, reused ideas through a different lens.
Set-pieces are among the trends in which the Premier League has been considered the best in the world in recent years.
One of the most prominent set-piece trends this season is the increasing number of teams adopting the strategy of using long throw-ins, compared to previous seasons.
If you watch Premier League matches this season, you will notice the dangerous chances or even decisive goals that come from long throw-ins.
In this Premier League set-piece analysis, we will explain how long throw-ins have been used in a different and more structured way than in the past.
In this Premier League tactical analysis, we will demonstrate how teams utilize different starting positions (from the defenders’ blind side) for players who flick the ball, frame the goal, make second-line penetrating runs, and secure the rebound ball on the edge of the box.
We will provide examples of Crystal Palace, Brentford, Chelsea, Burnley, and Newcastle United to illustrate how they share common principles and tactics.
Nigerian striker Gift Orban has joined Hellas Verona on loan with an option to buy coming from the German side TSG Hoffenheim.
Orban started his career in Nigeria before moving to Stabæk Fotball.
During a successful spell, he helped the Norwegian side earn promotion to the Eliteserien and won individual trophies, including the OBOS-ligaen top scorer of the season and the Young Player of the Season award.
In 2023, Orban moved to Gent and set several records, including scoring seven goals in five matches to quickly become the highest-scoring debutant in the Belgian Pro League.
Furthermore, Orban scored three goals in 205 seconds against Istanbul Başakşehir in the UEFA Conference League, claiming the fastest hat-trick in UEFA competition history.
A transfer to Olympique Lyonnais in January 2024 derailed his momentum.
He was unable to finish the season with Gent, just as he had not been able to finish the previous season with Stabæk.
The transfer to Lyon ultimately proved a misjudged one.
Orban had difficulty settling in with his new team in mid-season and did not get sufficient playing time in the second half of the campaign.
In 2024/2025, Orban was not considered in the head coach’s plans and participated in only three matches during the first half of the season.
Luckily for him, Orban succeeded in returning to consistent playing following his January move to Hoffenheim, which helped him catch the attention of Hellas Verona.
Our Gift Orban scout report will focus on the goalscoring traits that differentiate Gift Orban from other strikers and make him a potentially useful signing for I Gialloblù.
The analysis will also examine how Hellas Verona can better utilize Orban and leverage his strengths more effectively, taking into account his weaknesses and areas for improvement.
