It’s no secret that Florian Wirtz hasn’t been the best player among Liverpool’s ranks this season. Arne Slot has tried to use him as a number 10 and on the wing, but no matter what he does, he doesn’t seem to be able to get his goal contributions up.

Now, while speaking on talkSPORT, Danny Murphy has shared his thoughts on why things haven’t gone Wirtz’s way just yet.“I think it’s just a physical thing with him,” he said.“I think once he gets used to how hard it is and how tough it is to play every game in the Premier League [compared to] the Bundesliga, [where] he’ll have [only] got eight to 10 games of that intensity maybe a season.“So I think he’ll be fine, got no worries about Wirtz.”Florian Wirtz needs to get his first goal out of the way, so that he’ll be able to play without stressAt the moment, it’s clear that Wirtz just wants to get himself another goal or assist.

When playing for Germany, he seems much more free and fluid, but, since he’s only just arrived at Anfield, it’s likely to take time for him to get used to how Slot lines his team up.
