Most of Arne Slot’s men have performed fairly poorly this season, but there’s now one specific player that Chris Sutton is “worried” about. Chris Sutton is worried about Liverpool’s Florian WirtzFlorian Wirtz was one of the Reds’ many big-money signings in the summer, with most expecting him to instantly hit the ground running.



Slot has tried him out across most of the pitch, and while his performances seem to improve when he’s on the wing, Sutton has admitted that he’s still “worried” about him.“Yeah, I mean, it’s not easy, Rob. I mean, you’ve never gone for significant money, so you wouldn’t know,” he said on BBC Sport’s 606.“But, you know, Florian Wirtz, a lot was made about his signing and him being that creator.

He hasn’t really performed just yet.”Florian Wirtz must start living up to expectations at Liverpool before it’s too lateThe fact that Wirtz cost Liverpool £116 million and there are questions of whether he’s good enough for the Anfield outfit is massively concerning.
