""Wirtz joined Liverpool in the summer in a deal reportedly worth up to £116m (€133.2m). The Germany international assisted Hugo Ekitike's goal against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield in August, but since then, he has failed to register a goal involvement. Among players with over 10 chances created in the Premier League this season, only James Ward-Prowse (12) has registered more without having a goal or an assist than Wirtz (11).""
""Even if he hasn't scored a goal, he's the player who creates chances," Nagelsmann told Sport1. "It's not his fault if his team-mate doesn't create them, and the statistic isn't even a third of the truth. He simply has to get used to the league. "I've seen him feel completely liberated. He knows what he's capable of and how things work. Not everything has always been handed to him - he'll work hard now, too.""
Wirtz joined Liverpool in the summer in a deal reportedly worth up to £116m (€133.2m). The Germany international assisted Hugo Ekitike's goal in the Community Shield but has not recorded a goal or assist since. He has created 11 chances in the Premier League with a combined 0.87 expected assists and has produced one big chance. Wirtz has appeared in all seven league matches, making five starts. His national team manager backs him to adapt to the league and regain confidence. Wirtz hit the post for Germany in a 4-0 win over Luxembourg and is likely to feature in the next World Cup qualifier.
