Overview
- Julian Nagelsmann said Liverpool “could help him out” by finishing chances Wirtz creates and argued the club is “not as stable” as last season.
- Wirtz has 11 Premier League appearances without a goal or assist but has produced assists in European competition this season.
- Liverpool’s title defense has faltered with a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, five losses in their first 11 league games, and a current standing of eighth.
- Pundit reaction is sharply divided, with Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher critical while former Liverpool players John Barnes and Jason McAteer call for patience.
- Wirtz is on international duty for Germany’s qualifiers against Luxembourg and Slovakia before a scheduled Liverpool return against Nottingham Forest on November 22.
