"Florian Wirtz finally netted his first goal for Liverpool in the Reds' 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield - a moment that was expected to have come far sooner on Merseyside after the Germany international chose Arne Slot's side over Bayern Munich, joining for a total package in the range of €150m. To date, the 22-year-old attacker has tallied a goal and six assists from a total of twenty-three appearances across all competitions,"
"Optically, Wirtz's lack of goals and assists were made perceivably more frustrating with how long it's also taken Alexander Isak to gain some momentum before suffering a significant leg injury in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Tottenham. Additionally, Wirtz's baron run coincided with Liverpool's incredibly poor run of form where they lost six out of seven Premier League matches from late September to early November, which also included the shock loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League and crashing out of the EFL Cup to Crystal Palace at Anfield."
Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool in a high-profile summer transfer valued around €150m and scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield. The 22-year-old has one goal and six assists from twenty-three appearances across all competitions, including his debut in the Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace. Early expectations and comparisons to Bayern Munich signings intensified scrutiny of his goal involvements. Wirtz provided a brace of assists in a Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt and registered a first Premier League assist on matchday fourteen versus Sunderland. His goal drought coincided with Alexander Isak's injury and a poor Liverpool run that featured multiple defeats and cup exits, though Wirtz remained a positive presence on the pitch.
