However, if that fails to materialise, the pair have been put on notice that scrutiny will intensify.Speaking on his Gary Neville Podcast, the Manchester United legend said: "The big thing for Liverpool is they've got this quarter-of-a-billion-pound front two, Isak and Wirtz and bloody hell, we've been kind to them.."They're going to have to start playing sooner or later or else, to be fair, they're going to get quite a lot of criticism. Sometimes players have that flow about them, but I want to put a rocket up him."I want to put a rocket up him because there's ability there, there's talent there, the understanding of his position."The biggest disappointment for me [Sunday] is those two."Neville added: "I've watched them both for 12 months, and I do actually have faith in them.



I think Isak's an exceptional player and we've seen it. Now Liverpool fans and his team-mates and coaching staff, they need to see that - because that's £125m they've spent on him."And then Wirtz, he needs to sort himself out.

He's young and he's come to a different country - and I'm all for willing him on."They have both had a bit of a free ride. Obviously Isak was injured last season but Arne Slot loses his job, and Wirtz has played like that, so let's be clear, this has got me to start some real focus now."I can see a real player there, but can't keep watching this stuff, and he's been subbed after an hour, and they need a goal, but they're 2-1 down, so no, that's not right.
