It’s clear from the looks of Florian WIRTZ that we haven’t seen the best of Liverpool so far, and the numbers back that up.
Amazingly, the summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen has been without a single goal involvement in the Premier League after 11 games played.
Wirtz has 0 goals and 0 assists to his name in league games, although he creates 16 chances and has 12 shots, according to Opta analysis.
The Germany International has been involved in the Premier League without a single goal contribution – an unsavory stat if we’ve ever seen one!
There have been times when Wirtz has played well and been unpopular, but Liverpool fans will certainly be worried about this poor spell.
Can Florian WIrtz turn things around at Liverpool?
However, perhaps there are signs that this is not WIRTZ’s fault, and that he has arrived in Liverpool at a time when they are often struggling in many areas.
Few expected Mohamed Salah’s form to drop significantly after the sensational form he showed last season, but the Egyptian international has four goals and two assists in his first 11 Premier League games so far.
On top of that, Alexander Isak’s fitness has been a real problem for LFC, so the Sweden International, who was a world-class, world-class forward at Newcastle, is now the sole target of the ARNE Slot side in all competitions.
Elsewhere, Liverpool’s defense has been poor, so Wirtz’s struggles at the other end have been magnified, as Slot’s side just need to get more points to stay in games.
However, according to the study, Wirtz’s involvement in shooting and creating chances for his teammates would appear to be correct, and it is a sign that he will start to hit good numbers in the end of the end.
Liverpool blamed the struggles of Florian Wirtz
Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann has defended Wirtz, saying he feels Liverpool have not helped him so far.
The 22-year-old midfielder remains an important player for his country, and Nagelsmann feels it will soon happen to him at Fentield too, even if he needs help from his teammates.
“Liverpool can also help him out by scoring some old chances,” Nagelsonn said at a press conference, as quoted by Sky Sports.
“Somehow they don’t like to shoot the ball. To be honest, the whole situation doesn’t make it easy to be easy with.
“The whole team is not as stable this year as it was last year. It is very difficult to get into the team now.
“If you look at the game against [Manchester] At City, they were actually the worst team in 90 minutes.
“So it’s also difficult for Flo to make a big impact. In the end, the whole situation is that he just needs more time, it’s normal; you see that with other players who move to the Premier League too.”
