Although there’s not one specific player or member of staff to blame, it feels like an awful lot more could come from the Anfield outfit.Of course, there have been times this season when Liverpool have shown their class but with the last three performances they’ve put in, it feels like things could take a turn for the worse at any moment.

At the moment, however, he only has one goal contribution to his name across all competitions, but that isn’t because of a lack of trying. He’s close to the top of the list for chances created with Liverpool but his teammates have often let him down.

“Alexander Isak hasn’t had a pre-season, he needs to get up to speed,” he said.“Wirtz, I do like Wirtz, he’s getting a lot of stick at the minute, but there’s a diamond in there and I think he will be a top player for years to come.”Liverpool need to figure out how to get the best out of Florian WirtzIn the summer, Wirtz was one of the most sought-after players on the transfer market. And now that he has much higher-quality players around him, you’d have thought that he’d have got even better.
