"I think it's too early to judge that. I think there's only been 11 games in the Premier League so far and it's difficult coming to the Premier League at a young age and adapt to the best league in the world straight away. Liverpool haven't been playing well so he's coming to a team who are underperforming and that makes his job even harder with additional scrutiny,"
"It would only be fair to judge him after a full season under his belt. We've seen it lots where a lot of foreign players have come over and some have not hit the ground running but then after about four, five, six months they've been outstanding and showed their potential. So, I think you have to give him the full season to see if he can adjust and you know get to those levels which I think he can do."
Florian Wirtz has faced criticism after a poor showing in Liverpool's loss to Manchester City, with some describing him as inexperienced. Others argue that labeling him a transfer flop after only 11 Premier League matches is premature. Young foreign players often need several months to adapt to the league's pace and physicality. Joining an underperforming Liverpool increases scrutiny and can hinder early form. A full season should be allowed to assess Wirtz's adjustment and potential. Wirtz produced a solid performance for Germany in a 2-0 win over Luxembourg, suggesting signs of recovery.
