Overview

• Florian Wirtz has yet to record a goal or assist in nine Premier League and Champions League appearances since his summer move.
• Opta data shows Wirtz has created 21 chances, the most in the Premier League so far this season.
• Jürgen Klopp labeled Wirtz a “once‑in‑a‑century talent” and called current criticism exaggerated following Liverpool’s recent three straight losses.
• Nagelsmann said Wirtz will adapt quickly and score for Liverpool, speaking ahead of Germany’s World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland on Monday.
• The scrutiny reflects his high transfer fee and Liverpool’s unusual run of poor form, even as underlying metrics highlight his creative output.
