He said: "I don't have to worry about Florian Wirtz because his quality is so outstanding. If anyone's worried, you don't have to!

You can stop."Former Liverpool centre-back Carragher has conceded that Wirtz will ultimately prove his worth but when reflecting on his present performances, he has previously argued that Wirtz disrupts the Reds' equilibrium. It was put forward that Arne Slot has attempted to squeeze in too many of his fresh acquisitions and star players, which has affected the club's harmony.Carragher, speaking following the 1-0 loss to Galatasaray, proposed that Wirtz should be removed from the spotlight against Chelsea - which he was but entered for the second-half and attempt to guide the Reds past their opponents."There's a few problems there that he's [Arne Slot] got to fix - and it'll now be really interesting how he goes about it because he's spent a lot of money on certain players," he said."But right now, I don't think the balance of the team is right, and the obvious one that stands out is Florian Wirtz."He's just not at the races at all.
