Gary Neville says Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak represent Liverpool’s biggest disappointments after a year, adding that they must improve. He frames his comments around the expectations attached to the pair, including their reported £200m-plus status, and says their recent output has not matched what Liverpool paid or hoped for.

Neville’s remarks come in the context of Wirtz and Isak’s prior time at Newcastle, where he describes them as having been “being kind to” them while acknowledging they are their biggest disappointments. While he criticises their impact, he also expresses confidence they can “come good,” suggesting improvement is possible if they deliver more consistently.

Across the outlets, the emphasis is on Neville’s assessment rather than new match-specific incidents. The common thread is his call for better performance from the two players, balanced by his stated belief that their trajectory can change, even after a disappointing period.
