Florian Wirtz has enjoyed an indifferent start to the season since his big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool must help him, according to Jamie CarragherAlexis Mac Allister's slow start to the season has not helped Florian Wirtz enjoy a successful beginning to life in the Premier League, according to Jamie Carragher. But the attacking star also requires help early in his Premier League career.Speaking on Monday Night Football, Carragher said: "I think we should be analysing someone who cost that money.



He has come in as a renowned star, Bundesliga player of the year two seasons running, won the Bundesliga, seasoned international with Germany."I think it’s fair to say he hasn’t been great for Liverpool so far, but also I don’t think Liverpool have been great for him so far. Against Burnley is where I thought we might see him at his best; he did okay."This is happening quite a bit where he's trying to get his shots off and people are just on top of him a little bit quicker.

It’s probably quicker. he’s not being allowed to get his shots off"In this situation, it’s faster, people are on top of him more, it’s more physical, he’s a young boy, trying to meet the demands of the league, there’s no doubt about that."And Carragher believes Mac Allister reaching his best form, would only help his team-mate. "I think another problem for Liverpool and for Wirtz is that Mac Allister hasn’t been at his best," he said."I think he’s the guy who could feed him and get him the ball between the lines.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
