Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has called on Andoni Iraola to make a bold decision and drop Florian Wirtz from the starting XI following the Reds’ disappointing 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at Anfield.
The £116 million summer signing endured another frustrating afternoon, struggling to influence the game before being substituted in the 66th minute. ❌
🗣️ Carragher didn’t hold back:
“The Florian Wirtz where he’s almost nailed on that he plays every week in that No. 10 position, it has to stop. I think Liverpool have given him enough chances and he has to come out of the team.”
📊 WIRTZ’S NUMBERS AGAINST MAN CITY: 🔹 46 touches 🔹 20 accurate passes from 24 attempts 🔹 1 shot off target 🔹 0 major chances created 🔹 Just 4 duels won 🔹 0 Premier League goals this season
Despite showing flashes of his quality for Germany during the international break, Wirtz is still struggling to reproduce that form in Liverpool’s Premier League campaign.
Now, the pressure is mounting on both the player and the manager. Should Wirtz be given more time to adapt, or is it time for Iraola to leave him on the bench?
🔴 LIVERPOOL FANS, WHAT’S YOUR VERDICT?
💬 A) Drop Wirtz for the next match. 💬 B) Keep starting him and give him time. 💬 C) Change his position and build the attack around him.
