'Poorest I've Ever Seen' - Carragher Did Not Hold Back in His Criticism of Liverpool Star
Jamie Carragher said Wirtz was poor again and warned Liverpool need more from the £116 million signing, who completed only 70% of his passes.
- On Sunday, Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, yet Jamie Carragher questioned Florian Wirtz's performance at Vitality Stadium, labeling the display "one of the poorest I've ever seen him in a Liverpool shirt."
- Carragher's scrutiny follows Liverpool paying up to £116 million for Wirtz, with the critic noting he was worried for the 23-year-old "probably 12 months ago" as the club expects January offers.
- Noting a 70% pass completion rate, Carragher compared the German to Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White, stating he has not produced a performance of that quality in 45 minutes for the Reds.
- Carragher urged manager Andoni Iraola to drop the midfielder for Manchester City at Anfield, though Iraola defended Wirtz, insisting he helped Liverpool improve as the game progressed.
- Expressing worry that Wirtz's current form reflects his actual level, Carragher noted Bayern Munich is monitoring the situation before Liverpool return to action against City on October 11.
