THE Florian Wirtz gets off to a nightmare start in her jersey Liverpoolas he still hasn’t managed to score a goal or provide any assists in the Premier League.
In the match between Liverpool and Manchester City, where the “reds” lost 3-0Florian Wirtz was once again a shadow of his former self, with the German midfielder receiving relentless criticism from Roy Keane and Gary Neville.
“Virch is a problem. Let’s face it, it’s a problem. He is worth more than 113 million euros and against City he looked like a small child on the grass.
We have treated him carefully, understanding that he comes from another country, different league but he cannot continue like this. He has quality, he has fantastic technique but today he was out, both competitively and mentally.
That’s worrying,” said Sky Sports commentator and former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville, before adding meaningfully: “Liverpool looked like an easy team to beat. They lacked tension and energy.
Some players looked soft and Virch was the most characteristic example”.
Gary Neville: “Wirtz is a problem. Let’s just call it as it is, it’s an issue.
“He’s £120m… and today I thought Wirtz looked like a little boy [out there].” pic.twitter.com/DlW0RdYcCp

For his part, Roy Keane harshly criticized Arne Slott’s side for their image: “When a club like Liverpool lose seven of their last ten games, there is only one word to describe the situation: crisis. They lacked the hunger, the will to fight.”
