Wirtz had two shot attempts against City, but both efforts were blocked. Neville noticed Wirtz's lack of physicality during the game and said on Sky Sports, "Physically, Wirtz has found it tough.

He has been out-muscled a lot." Wirtz has been under the spotlight more than most new signings in the Premier League this season, mainly due to the $156 million package Liverpool agreed to pay Bayer Leverkusen this summer. Wirtz appears to have shown improvement in recent weeks, and his father, Hans-Joachim Wirtz, is pleased with the progress.
