"Remarkably, the summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen is still without a single goal involvement in the Premier League after 11 games played. Wirtz has 0 goals and 0 assists to his name in league matches, despite creating 16 chances and having 12 shots, as per Opta Analyst. The Germany international actually tops the Premier League for shot involvements without a single goal contribution an unwanted stat if ever we saw one!"
"Still, there are perhaps signs that this isn't really Wirtz's fault, and that he's arrived at Liverpool during a time when they're generally struggling in a number of areas. Few would have expected that Mohamed Salah's form would go so dramatically downhill after the sensational form he showed last season, but the Egypt international has just four goals and two assists in his first 11 Premier League games so far this term."
Florian Wirtz has registered 0 goals and 0 assists in 11 Premier League appearances while creating 16 chances and taking 12 shots, topping the league for shot involvements without a goal contribution. Occasional strong performances have been undermined by a prolonged dry spell that worries supporters. Liverpool's wider problems include Mohamed Salah scoring four goals with two assists in his first 11 league games and Alexander Isak limited by fitness to one goal in all competitions. Defensive frailties force Liverpool to need many goals to stay competitive. Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann defended Wirtz, suggesting Liverpool have not helped his adaptation.
