Ilkay Gundogan has defended Florian Wirtz's start to life at Liverpool, referencing just how many chances he has created for his new teammates. However, his lack of a direct goal contribution is largely down to his teammates not converting chances created by the 22-year-old, and Gundogan has backed him to come good.

"It’s not Flo’s fault that he cost so much. "However, I’ve read that across all competitions, no Premier League player has created more chances than Flo.

No player or person in this world can completely block out so much noise; it always takes its toll on you."

However, despite currently going through a difficult period, Gundogan has no concerns about his former international teammate proving his critics wrong in the long run.
