Jamie Carragher has delivered a brutal verdict on Florian Wirtz following Liverpool’s disappointing 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at Anfield, insisting that the German star should no longer be guaranteed a place in the starting XI. 💥
The £116 MILLION summer signing was expected to transform Liverpool’s attack, but his latest performance has raised even more questions about whether he is delivering enough to justify his massive price tag.
Carragher believes Liverpool have shown enough patience and that Andoni Iraola must now consider leaving Wirtz on the bench rather than continuing to hand him starts in the No. 10 role.
Wirtz was substituted in the 66th minute against City after struggling to make a meaningful impact. He recorded just one shot off target, created no major chances and failed to provide the attacking spark Liverpool desperately needed.
The criticism comes despite Wirtz recently impressing for Germany during the international break, highlighting the frustrating difference between his performances for club and country.
With Liverpool now under pressure after their heavy defeat, the big question is whether Iraola will finally make a bold decision and drop one of his most expensive signings.
Carragher has made his position crystal clear: Wirtz must earn his place like everyone else. 👀
🔴 LIVERPOOL FANS, DO YOU AGREE WITH CARRAGHER?
Should Wirtz be DROPPED for the next match, or does he deserve more time to prove himself at Anfield?
