🫣 Here we go again? Wirtz sets unwanted PL record
Florian Wirtz's first season at Liverpool definitely did not go as planned, despite an improvement in performances in the second half of the campaign. So things were supposed to get much better in his second year.
But at Anfield, they are still waiting for the 125-million-man to really explode in terms of performance. The Reds have scored six goals so far, and Wirtz has been directly involved in just one of them.

Even without superstar Mo Salah, whose partnership with the former Leverkusen man did not always run smoothly, he still just cannot really get going. The clear leading figures in Liverpool's attack at the moment are Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak. Wirtz, meanwhile, is still stuck in a supporting role.
What's more: the 23-year-old even set an unwanted record in Friday night's 2–0 win over Ipswich Town! In only his third Premier League game, he already gave the ball away for the 53rd time — the highest total in the league!
But to be fair, other players could still overtake that figure as the matchday goes on. Even so, Wirtz will surely have imagined the start of this season very differently.
