Wirtz has failed to find the net or provide an assist since his £116million switch from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.The German's sluggish start at Anfield has prompted Reds legend Jamie Carragher to suggest he deserves a spell warming the bench.

Yet no Premier League player has carved out more opportunities for teammates across all competitions this campaign than the 22-year-old.Wirtz completed his first full 90 minutes for Liverpool on Tuesday evening during the Champions League defeat at Galatasaray. He shares his view that the German international must deliver a goal or assist before the festive period arrives in December."Florian Wirtz also needs to start performing better for Liverpool.

He's played nine games, and he's barely done anything," he told Sky Sports Germany."Liverpool could have lost all the close games they won at the start of the season. There was a lot of luck involved, too."It's not entirely his fault, but he needs to make sure he decides a game or two, scores a goal, or provides assists between now and Christmas.
