Liverpool are yet to put in a convincing performance and some stars are taking most of the flak. The Reds are going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, with two losses from their last games being very much a reality check.In both the games against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, Liverpool simply did not show enough in the final third and looked shaky in defence, highlighting how they have problems all over the pitch.Arne Slot has tried changing things but at the moment, it is not quite clicking, this being in terms of system and for individual players.There is one in particular who has been thrown under the bus rather unfairly too, with ex-Red Danny Murphy believing that his teammates are the ones letting him down.Photo by Richard Sellers/Sportsphoto/Allstar via Getty ImagesFlorian Wirtz is being let down by his teammatesAfter spending what was, at the time, a British record transfer fee of £116m on Florian Wirtz, almost everyone expected him to come in and hit the ground running.However, this has not been the case and he has received a lot of backlash for not yet registering a goal or an assist.With that said, a lot of this criticism feels rather unjust, with Murphy also believing that Wirtz has been better than people realise, he is just not getting help from those around him.

“I’m not worried about him. I’m not worried about him at all,” Murphy said on the Outspoken with White and Jordan Podcast.“No.
