Wirtz has been used in almost every single one of the Reds’ games this season, and although he may have got an assist during his Community Shield debut, that’s about the best thing he’s managed to do.

Pat Nevin believes that Florian Wirtz is thinking too much about what to do next for LiverpoolWirtz’s statistics from last season alone show that he’s an exceptional player. However, since joining Liverpool, he’s not managed to find his feet and to be honest, his performances have been rather abysmal.Indeed, he does have the odd moment of class here and there, but more often than not, it feels like his teammates, such as Dominik Szoboszlai, end up performing better than him.

“Although I have no complaints whatsoever for his work rate, he’s just not finding the right places,” he said.“And there was a moment in the second half, it happened just at the end of the first half, then it happened at the start of the second half again, he got himself into a brilliant position, and he tried to play the right pass, and it was a bit tentative.“And we all know, see, when you’re playing and you’re feeling good, you zip that ball in.“You don’t think about it, you just zip it. He’s now beginning to think about it a wee bit too much, and it’s a terrible sign.”Liverpool need to find their mojo againAlthough things started out well for Liverpool this season, they’ve quickly gone south.
