Who has been Liverpool’s best player in 2025?

Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say Dominik Szoboszlai was also absent due to suspension, seeing Federico Chiesa given a rare start under the Dutchman.Elsewhere, it was the first time Jeremie Frimpong had started a league match since August, with the full-back filling in for Gomez and Conor Bradley, the latter of whom was on the bench after picking up a knock last week.Regardless of the changes, it was still a strong eleven, and Liverpool were expected to come away with all three points against an out-of-form Wolves.Liverpool fans in awe of Florian Wirtz vs WolvesThe Reds dominated from the get-go and nearly took the lead 10 minutes in via Hugo Ekitike.Florian Wirtz played a lovely curved throughball into the path of the Frenchman, who ran in on goal but was unable to convert.Despite Ekitike missing, fans were left in awe of the pass from Wirtz, taking to social media to express their pleasure at the German’s recent upturn in form.One fan wrote: “Wirtz that ball through is EXACTLY what we wanna see more of.”“Wirtz already head and shoulders above anyone else, another MOTM incoming,” added another.A third claimed: “I don’t think people realise that Wirtz hasn’t actually performed like a player that should only have 1 assist all season in the league. His numbers should be so much better.”“Wirtz pass through to Ekitike is world-class people!

If Ekitike stuck that away great goal!!” a fourth stated.Another compared the midfielder to Trent Alexander-Arnold: “That pass from Wirtz to Ekitike was so Trent-coded it took me back to last season.”A sixth wrote: “Wirtz to Ekitike linkup play is EXACTLY what I’ve been waiting for,” while a seventh added: “Wirtz and Ekitike partnership, oh my goodness.”Photo by Oli SCARFF / AFP via Getty ImagesThe former Bayer Leverkusen man has been shy of goals and assists since his summer move.It saw Wirtz criticised by the media earlier this season, and to some extent, they were right at the time.However, since the November international break, and arguably in the few games prior, the German has been superb.But after he scored his first goal in the 42nd minute on Saturday, there can be no denying he’s now showing clear signs he will be a top, top player at Liverpool.
