It’s a fair point, given that his assist tally would look far healthier were it not for the wasteful finishing that has plagued the Reds so far this term.Now, Leverkusen director Rolfes has shared his thoughts on Wirtz’s start to life in England, admitting that Liverpool’s lack of cohesion as a team is a major factor in the attacking midfielder’s slow start. But he’s doing very well,” Woltemade told RTL/n-tv/sport.de.“On paper, you might not see the goals, but if you compare my games with his, he’s much more involved in play.



I’ve probably been in the right spot three or four times, received the ball and scored — but he’s very active in the game, gets lots of touches and makes good plays.”It comes after Gary Neville claimed Wirtz 'looked like a little boy' in Liverpool's defeat to City. But he's £120million, you're going to have to stand up soon."I mean he's obviously got something.

He's a really good player and technically fantastic, but he's been mauled out there today by [Matheus] Nunes and by others. He's £120m and he looked like a little boy out there."
