Overview

• Joleon Lescott said on In The Mixer that Liverpool would take their money back on Florian Wirtz if it were possible.
• The 22-year-old was booed at Windsor Park while playing for Germany after falling in the penalty area with no foul given.
• Wirtz has yet to record a Premier League goal or assist for Liverpool, though he has created chances and registered an earlier Community Shield assist.
• Jurgen Klopp called the scrutiny disproportionate and praised Wirtz's "outstanding" quality, pointing to a supportive environment at the club.
• Arne Slot has continued to start Wirtz regularly, though he was substituted late at Burnley before Mohamed Salah’s winning penalty, with Manchester United next at Anfield on Sunday.
