Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz has one assist in five Premier League games this season, and the team has two wins and sits sixth. The article says the $156 million signing must make a more regular impact, but it is too early to write him off.
Manager Andoni Iraola says Wirtz should be judged by how he helps Liverpool play, not only by goals and assists. He argues that other players can provide the goals and assists when the team performs well collectively.
Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in summer 2025 and has shown flashes of quality, but his debut season was inconsistent. The article describes Liverpool as a work in progress, with Alexander Isak, Bradley Barcola and Cody Gakpo building chemistry in the final third.
